One of the coolest control devices that Yamaha has ever created has got to be the
breath controller. This little device allows a player to use one’s breath as a control
source in the same way one could use any standard continuous controller such as
aftertouch, modulation wheel, a knob or slider, an FC7 foot pedal, or any other
continuous input device. If you have ever been to one of my Motif ES clinics (or for
that matter EX5, S80, S90, Motif…virtually any clinic where I actually play) you have
seen me use a Yamaha breath Controller. One end user issue that I have been
happily seeing more and more emails and phone calls lately are from end users who
have seen me in a clinic, then go out and buy a BC3A breath controller and cannot
get it to work properly. There are usually two primary issues that are occurring:
1. The BC3 is plugged it but doesn’t work, or only works a little.
2. I feel like I need to blow too hard, or I wish the BC3 wasn’t so sensitive.
3. The sound that I got in the clinic was way more impressive than the sound
they are getting from the Motif ES
This document will address both issues. First I’ll show you where in the Motif ES to
route breath control to specific parameters and give a few specific voice examples
(complete with MP3 examples since a musical application is what it’s all about), then
I’ll show you how to use it with the awesome PLG150VL card and compare the
Physical Models generated by the card to similar Motif ES voices (VL Tenor Sax with
Motif ES Preset Voice Tenor Sax, for example).
Before I get into the Motif ES, let’s take a look at the evolution of the Yamaha breath
controller. The first version of the breath controller, the BC1, was considerably
different than the current version. Released around 1985 when the DX-7 was the big
new thing, the BC1 was silver and had a small control on the bottom for setting gain.
The unit came complete with a small Phillips screwdriver for setting the gain control:
