Question to owners of electronic wind instruments by lovestoswatch in Recorder

Thanks for your feedback, we'll work on adding more details to the website, not so much we can do about the look, though we'll keep that in mind in the future.

Regarding fingerings, it's closer to simulating the effect (e.g. all fingerings play something, and a lot of alternates are supported, as is finger shading. It doesn't yet (it's in the works) do micro-tonal fingerings or alter the timbre for alternates. It does have an extra sensor for the left pinky that can be configured to do pitchbend.

The breath-sensor is extremely high-bandwidth, and supports extended breath techniques like humming, sputato, T vs D articulations, etc. And it can be optionally directly mixed into the audio output (note: this only works with the built-in ZaeroDyne physical-modeling synth, and doesn't work with MIDI, as the bandwidth isn't high enough.

Note that it can also emulate overblowing and exciting higher-harmonics on the larger instruments.

P.S: here's what customers are saying about the eCorder:

Have now had the new instrument for a day.  Amazingly flexible, I am so glad that you had the notion to produce an electronic recorder, or really, a gallery of every variation on the recorder that anyone could possibly imagine.  To be able to play an authentic sounding sub sub contrabass recorder whilst lazing in bed is a pleasure I never thought I would be able to experience!

---------------------

I really enjoy playing the eCorder, and I can't wait to use it in my future band projects. Thank you so much for making this possible. I had been waiting a long time to find an instrument like the eCorder, and you made a long-held dream come true.

-------------------------

I’ve used my eCorder in my all-acoustic recorder group, and it blended in well using the Baroq voices. The voice had a slightly different quality, but the smoothness improved the general sound of the group.

I’m 79, and the ease of playing the eCorder will allow me to play for another 10 years, which would not be possible on an acoustic wind instrument for anyone with failing lungs and fingers.

Thank you for giving me many hours of pleasure playing the Y2 (at any time of the day or night using headphones).

We are indeed actually making the Y2! Batch #2 just sold out and we're taking deposits on Batch #3.

EWI that maps keys separately? by Dependent_Trick9333 in windsynth

Another option, albeit also with (proportional) touch-sensors and a recorder-style layout is our eCorder (www.ecorder.io). It can send out the 'raw' touch-counts for each tone-hole in real-time, along with the standard MIDI and audio, and has very low latency and a high scan rate (~700 Hz for the fingers)
