A new BC controller is available!
Dear Friends,
as you know, Samplemodeling instruments are optimized for virtually any wind and breath controller. The latter is considered by many as an effective alternative to the expression pedal. Unfortunately, all BCs require a dedicated socket (quite uncommon on most keyboards), or an expensive MIDI device interface. Moreover, the popular Yamaha BC3 is no longer available, and very difficult to find second hand.
Therefore, we would like to draw your attention to a company which introduced a well working successor of the Yamaha breath controller BC3.
The advantages of this device are:
1) it does not require a dedicated socket or external interface, since it can be plugged into any USB port of your computer and it's automatically recognized as an additional MIDI input.
2) it comes with a simple but well designed software, allowing precise adjustement of the sensitivity and resolution of the pressure sensor.
Please visit:

This BC device is very suitable to control our instruments.

I've never played any wind instrument but the Clarinet sounds REALLY great after 20mins practice. You can get a lovely controlled vibrato by blowing your cheeks out and doing a 'yayayaya' movement with your tongue
can I really trust this company?
Look at the indexpage www.tecontrol.se. Nothing, only an email-adress. I cannot find the name of the company, nor can I find the adress or any more information.
IMHO this is not serious. Sorry!
could you please explain what (or who) is not serious?
I cannot find the name of the company
Could it be that you have some problems with your browser?.. :-)
The name of the company is clearly readable on both pages (on the top left), following your or our link: TEControl.
nor can I find [...] any more information.
If you either follow the link we published, or, from your link, the menu Products -> MIDI Breath Controller + More Details, you will reach the page of the link in our post. There, you will find more than enough technical and other information, including: Home, Products, Services, Support, Contact, Shipping & Handling.
Please note: we would never publish links to unknown or unreliable companies.

As a result of your answer, I tried the link in my IPad. Well, here I can see everything you described, so sorry for my posting. It was not in my mind, that there could be a problem with IE.

by coincidence I saw a demonstration of that bc today. Looks and sounds convincing. Actually it's a demonstration of the Yamaha VL-1, but the MRT MIDI BREATH CONTROLLER is shown as well.
