MIDI Wind Controller

This wind controller uses a hard-wired MIDI interface so you can connect to any synthesizer that has a standard 5-pin hardware MIDI port. Note that this wind controller doesn’t make any sound in itself – it sends out MIDI messages via standard MIDI cable to any synthesizer that has a 5-pin MIDI-in port. The body, mouthpiece, and mounting parts are all 3D printed, and it features capacitive touch sensors for the main keys.

This version also uses a more conventional (but also very **inexpensive**) breath pressure sensor than the balloon and FSR used in my [BLE version of this wind controller][1]. I also simplified things a bit by eliminating the gyro module used for pitch bend as well as the battery included in the BLE version. The Arduino Mini Mega 2560 used in this version is also somewhat easier to find than the previous processor used.

Operating software (Wind_Controller_Touch_V1_0.zip) is included in the 'Thing Files' section.

The mechanical parts are all 3D printed in PLA. You
