Bluetooth Wind Controller

This wind controller uses a [Bluetooth Low Energy][24] (BLE) wireless link to send MIDI data to a synth app running on an iphone, ipad, etc.

The wind controller doesn’t make any sound in itself – it sends out MIDI messages via a Bluetooth LE link to a device that’s running a synth app. Most modern phones, tablets, and computers support BLE connections from their apps. There are a wide variety of compatible synthesizer software programs available from the Apple App Store, the Microsoft App Store, and elsewhere. I mainly use an iPhone with this wind controller, and my favorites synths are the [Roli Seaboard 5D][26] app, [GarageBand][27], the [Yamaha Synthbook AN2015][28] app, and the [Korg Gadget LE Marseille][29] app – all are available for free from the Apple App Store. For a Windows PC, [MIDIberry][30] lets the wind controller play the built-in Windows Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, which contains a complete General MIDI sound set.
