@Gromit Ah, well, interesting. I would really like a bite controller :)
Maybe one day, Rudy at Imoxplus and the rest of the Photon team will be able to get the Photon manufactured. They still cannot source any PSOC microprocessors from Cypress.
According to Rudy,
"The Photon offers you CC's for
- Breath out (blow)
- Breath in (suck)
- Tongue position (moving your tongue inwards or outwards)
- Lower Lip tension (pitch bend control with lower lip)
- Upper Lip position (shifting your mouth further or deeper on the mouthpiece)
- Vocal amplitude (making a vocal sound while blowing)
- Each sensor can be configured individually with curves, midi channel, smoothing etc...
- Up to 32 mouthpiece configurations (presets) can be stored in the photon and recalled using program changes
- Hires midi output can be activated for each sensor individually
- Adjustable breath flow (resistance)
- etc.".
The Photon would attach to a Sylphyo in place of the Sylphyo's mouthpiece.
Air blown into the Photon mouthpiece by the musician does not pass through the Sylphyo. It exits straight back out of the Photon again. The Sylphyo just detects the notes that are being played. The Photon's MIDI data and the Sylphyo's MIDI data (the notes fingered (and motion control?)) are merged to drive apps such as Respiro from Imoxplus or SWAM. External MIDI synths too, I believe.
