Hi,

Thanks for the tip but I play flute and have no idea on keyboards. Tried playing one about 20 years ago....Not my thing

Maybe it's an idea to look into Akai or Yamaha breath controllers.

Not sure about fingering but I think this is probably configurable to one you are familiar with.

These devices directly produce midi and controller data you can use for Notation Software or other midi programs, even synthesizers if you are interested in that. You don't have hassle with audio to midi conversion that way. That's probably closer to the wind instruments you are familiar with and simpler than trying to learn the keyboard.

Akai's EWI USB is also not too expensive and sometimes contained in bundles with other useful software.

I found a few Videos on Youtube of the Akai EWI .

I'm not sure I would use something that like much but I will try one the next time I'm in a music shop.

Thanks

I just mentioned this to show you an optional midi input device that is not a keyboard and closer to a real wind instrument.

Also the EWI is probably closer to a clarinet or saxophone it's finally an instrument of its own - like synthesizers are no pianos.

There are quite some more strange controllers around - like the "Eigenlabs" "Eigenharp" controllers that have breath input too... but are very special and expensive electronic midi controllers...
