I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

I'm digging and digging and digging for 3 days now on realtime, audio-to-midi solutions, and I find a thread, and I think, "weird, that name sounds familiar.... Per Boysen.... wait, that's the dude that plays stick and ewi...." Get out of my head! OK, so here it is months later, and I’m working on building what will basically be a midi kazoo.

Hopefully I'll have a chance to try it out this weekend.

If blowing at a constant power you stay at about the same "drive" whatever virtual instrument you control and legato playing is "all about fingering". What I do is to set up CC#2 to control the VI's filter cut-off parameter; the harder I blow the louder and brighter the sound. Just as any physical wind instrument. This opens up for doing tongue thrills ("banjo tremolo tone") and and sharp attack notes as well, while legato fingering sounds more like seamless. There are of course other ways to set up an EWI, this is just how I like it. >> “ending a constant CC#2 so that you can just finger the notes?” >>

I'll have to experiment with both. I have to say that, after some 25 years of playing instruments, I honestly feel like I'm finally exploring something musical that someone else hasn't. New musical territory? Imagine that. I've been in a prog band for about 15 years playing all kinds of odd-meter weirdness, but this setup is kinda like floating in space in a rocket and opening the hatch to see what's really out there. So I got my Macbook all set up with everything I needed, started configuring the FCB1010 that I picked up on Saturday, and the display on my laptop crapped out. Gone, dead, $700 to repair it. Bah. I picked up a new 13" MBP yesterday on my lunch break, and spent all last night getting everything re-installed on it. It went from 250 gigs to 100 gigs of free space with nothing but music software, and I haven't even installed BFD 2 yet. This is gonna get ugly. Oh, I meant to ask you... You use Bidule, right? Have you experimented with sending a constant CC#2 so that you can just finger the notes? I installed Vokator last night, and I'm thinking the EWI might be the perfect thing to control it with. It might also be nice to run BFD as well. Ha, you beat me to it again, except I was thinking of using the bite sensor for wah instead of breath. I’ll have to experiment with both.
