I haven't played with a DX100. I do have a DX7II with a breath
controller. You might try using a breath controller. Look for sounds
that have " BC " or " BC1 " (breath controller) in their names. On the
DX7 you have to set the keyboard to use the breath controller, even if
the sound has BC in the title. Find the Breath controller section and
set "EG bias" to 99, also, if there is a Pitch Bias parameter try
setting it to 1 to give a little change in pitch as you play louder.
Patches generaly have to be set up to use breath controll (MIDI
controller C002 or somthing like that if you're controlling another
synth). If you get interested in this you might check out
www.windsynth.org this outfit is mainly devoted to saxaphone style MIDI
controllers like the Yamaha WX5. I've heard that the pitch and
modulation wheels are placed pretty well for using the DX100 as a strap
on. I've also heard that the DX100 isn't velosity sensitive. The DX100
uses a truncated form of the kind of FM synthesis that the DX7 uses. The
DX7 can play any sound made for the DX100 but the DX100 might be able to
make sound from some DX7 patches but they might not sound the same.
Sombody correct me if I'm wrong about the lack of velosity.
Yours,
Nathan

Subject: DX-100 as a MIDI Controller
Is the DX-100 a good MIDI controller? I think it has breath control,
is that useful? Also, can you switch MIDI channels? I am thinking
purchasing one so I would like to hear from users like yourselves.
Any answers would be much appreciated,
Mwamba
