Glad to hear! 😀 If you haven’t tried this software out at all before, there are a few pointers in this video that might be worth taking notice of. ua-cam.com/video/hHY9CysF4Dc/v-deo.html Happy testing!🎸
Thanks man! I am glad to see my videos still can reach people. It is a pretty small community (still), people that are interested in MIDI Guitar, so I appreciate every like, share and comment I can get on this channel to reach some more. So again, thank YOU! 👈🙏🙏🙏
Inspired by your channel I've bought this gem and two weeks in now: man, I'm so happy with it. Whole new worlds opening up. Thank you, thank you, thank you ;)-~~~
You are an amazingly gifted musician. I am going to get a BBC2 after witnessing your wonderfully informative video. Thank you very much. God bless you.
Thanks a billion! 🙏🙏🙏 Yeah, the BBC2 is certainly a great addition to any MIDI setup, and especially for MIDI Guitar. Hope you get as much out of it as I have 😀👍
Hopefully all the manufacturers know what fantastic and unique work you are doing here without any marketing blabla. I'm really thankful! Breath-Controller / Cello / Trumpet / Altosax ... I will immediately go for it and come back with some questions. :)
Thank you for this wonderful comment! 🙏🙏🙏 Some manufactures do, and some don’t. No one has asked for my opinion on their product though, so everything I use I have purchased myself. Perhaps that lends some sort of credibility to the evaluationprocess, but it also limits what I can confidently talk about to what I can afford to buy! I decided early on to just showcase good stuff/products, and not bother you guys with my opinion on the rest. I’ll be happy to try and answer any of those questions you might have. You are most welcome back. 😀👍
@@lofileif Thank you very much for answering. As someone who also deals with all that stuff since the journey has began (in my case with Roland GR-300 - by the way: it was an absolutely wonderful guitar that I still miss sadly after 20 years ... most of the other about 50 guitars I don't hahaha) I understand all aspects of your comments. Especially regarding picking dynamics. And indeed it is absolutely amazing to see how any tool and plugin reacts in a different way to the individual picking. Basically the difference between finger and plec and inside these two different worlds any individual kind of picking. What I can say after viewing your videos: I will buy the Tec-Controller + SWARM solo-brass + solo-strings during the next months. What I already have is "midi guitar 2" - but I'm not really using it - I miss the possibility to toggle single strings. Also I have Fishman's "Triple Play Connect" (I don't like battery-only driven stuff :) and all of Spectrasonics including the relatively new "nylon sky" extension. Fishman and Spectrasonics work very well if you accept the limits ... hahaha ... Anyway: I really love it - it can create atmospheres. The speed and accuracy I observed in your videos with "midi guitar 2" I only can achieve using the Roland / Boss stuff. Currently I have a sy-200 and I'm about to re-buy a (used hahaha) VG-99. The GR-55 I had in the past too - I will not rebuy it - it is too complex and the sound seems to be not so transparent as I love it. And the GR-30 is nice but now indeed out of date. Anyway: I will come back after I get the Tec and SWAM. These tools put mg2 in a solo context and that will make a difference. I would also like to write you an email sometime in the next few weeks, if that's okay with you. Till next time ... :) PS: Your Steinberger - is it "carbon" or "wood"? Do you think that the additional stability of a carbon neck is a remarkable advantage regarding the tuning during playing ...
This was really informative - I’ve followed your channel and this has answered so many questions. - thank you so much for sharing and of course for the fantastic playing !!
Awesome skills, man! Can you make some simple shorts with demonstration of some features you are using with all this setup, maybe like one cool unique feature at time, maybe that way it would be easier to reach more people. You are using a lot of pretty advanced techniques and midi features, devices, software,... this is very cool, but maybe too much of information in a single video for newbies, but thanks a lot for such an advanced tutorial/showcase
@@lofileifthank You! I updated the comment, did not expect such a quick response. I'm new to the channel, maybe there is already some video I described 😅. For example: you play some of those awesome leaks for several (3-5) seconds, then goes some explanation like "to make this effect I use bite control together with tilting head to make some cc change some way", or "when I breathe then it's doing controlling velocity this way" and finally maybe short common explanation (~10seconds?) like "I use (regular?) guitar that connected to (pc) with (audio) cable and software as a (vst?) plugin in a daw (some short description maybe just a text and a picture) like explaining to a child. Or maybe even compare playing the same lick on midi keyboard without any expressions to show how big the difference is with
Well, I have spent the better parts of four years making videos on MIDI Guitar 2, and a thousand ways to set up with this. So this video is on using the JamOrigin software MIDI Guitar 2 together with the BBC2 breathcontroller. And it is going to be very specific in its nature. If you are interested in getting to know the software I recommend you start with ua-cam.com/video/WbtR2VBVp2E/v-deo.html But after that, you can go over the ones on my channel to begin with. They are all of varying degree of complexity or detail. 👍
This is fantastic and for me mind blowing! 👍 You are a very good musician and with professional sound and thank you for your explanations how it works. Only the connection on the iPad is not clear to me. I have an iPad Pro with Camera Connection Kit that only has a USB port, similar to the one in your video at 22:42 where you connect the Breathcontroller. But where do you connect the interface for the guitar? At 23:00 it looks like the interface is plugged into the headphone jack? 🙏
Correct, the guitar comes in via the iRig through the 3,5 jack. And the breathcontroller USB goes to the camera adapter into the lightning port. This works because it is the old iPad pro. The newer ones have only lightning or USB-C, and for those you’d have to use a hub.
Excellent video! You inspired me to get my own BBC2. Were you able to get Respiro to respond to pitch bend from MIDI Guitar 2? I tried MIDI Guitar 2 with SurgeXT and SurgeXT responds to pitch bend as expected so maybe I am missing some setting on the Respiro side - I do have Mode set to BC and Pitch Bend set to ON with range to match MIDI Guitar 2's pitch bend range.
Thanks! I did absolutely get Respiro to work with bends. I am away from my studio right now, so I can’t help you with the detailes, but there are some PB Settings on the Respiro app as well. I see you are getting some help on the forum now. If it isn’t solved before I get home, I’ll give you my setting then. 👍

More useful info. Thanks. What is the bitey part made of? Do you bite it with teeth or do the lip-over-the-teeth thing like when playing a reed instrument? Loved the outro performance. Don't look up BBC on Urban Dictionary!
Hi Simba! Reading on their homepage, all I can say is that " It is made of a food-grade plastic material" and that it comes in a normal and a softer version. www.tecontrol.se/products/breath-controller-mouthpiece I use my teeth now, but it should work using your lips too. I have the "harder version" (that comes with the breath controller originally.) I guess you are not thinking of "Bitches be Crazy" huh? No, TEControl perhaps didn't do themselves any favor with the full abbreviation BBC2 either. I feel I may have seen that letter-combo somewhere before? 🧐
Hi Edward! I agree, the wires are thin, and they look unimpressive. But I have used my breathcontroller almost every day for 3 years, and if you have seen a few videos you know I bring it along everywhere, and I haven't had ANY problems with it. So they must be doing something right. It is plastic, the bite part is exchangeable. That is pretty much it. I'd say it is durable. But it is certainly not cheap.
Hello Dave! In the video I am using the BBC2 breath/bite controller, and I really could not add much to that description, I believe. But the ”simple” breathcontroller ONLY has the breath sensor and I do belive it is a little bit clunkier. Here is a link for you to see for yourself: www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-controller
Great work! I will be adding this to my TouchStyle guitars. Question; what is your opinion on which is the best and most realistic trumpet and sax sounds as far as plugin/sample brand? Thank you
Thank you! 🙏 Nowadays I use two saxophones primarily, the @audiomodeling SWAM saxes and the @Acousticsamples Vhorns saxes. Both sound and handle great, and I have a lot of examples of the SWAM saxes in my videos here. (14.20 and on in ua-cam.com/video/B3PP2ZXWyP8/v-deo.html) There aren't as many with the Vhorns saxes because it is a recent discovery. There will be more soon. ua-cam.com/video/jOAWo41txN4/v-deo.html When it comes to trumpets, you have great trumpets and flugelhorns from Audio Modeling of course, as featured in a lot of my videos. I have heard only great things about the Acousticsamples Vhorns brass, but I haven't had a chance to try those yet. But my absolute favorite goto trumpet is the @samplemodeling "The Trumpet V3". Check it out in the Miles stuff: ua-cam.com/video/2UmnrQThf7g/v-deo.html
Yeah, well if you KNOW that you are going to buy the software at some point, let me make it easier for you. MIDI Guitar comes with a lifetime licence, and any upgrades like the one into MG3 is free for any licence holder. If you don’t have the Trial version already it is free, and gives you a pretty good picture of how the software will work for YOU. www.jamorigin.com/download/
@@lofileif Thanks for the info, but this made me more hesitated to buy it because this plugin currently supports only VST2 but Cubase later than 11 stopped supporting VST2 and only VST3 works. I'm like 70% sure but let me ask you if the version 3 comes out, this plugin will come with VST3, right?
@@DycayBeats Then you should probably wait. I don’t know for sure what format the plugin is going to be, so I can’t really say. There was an attempt made at a VST3 version that didn’t work for all DAWs, and hence wasn’t released. Check the Forum for more on that: jamosapien.com/latest
Well, that is from the TEControl site itself. It is actually their own description! I’m in no position to verify of dispute their claims. If you know for a fact that it isn’t the case, I’ll be happy to hear more! 😀👍
Can I buy this device in the US? Or do I have to order it from the Swedish factory? Someone help me get it. I am a Colombian music producer and I need this tool for my work. Any information can help me. Warehouse or pickup link. Thank you.
could this work with a Boss/Roland guitar synth gk3 gr-55 system as it is a midi device vst controller. came across the bbc 2 a while ago and this video.. and was wondering , thinking what a clever thingy. and would it help with the awful glitchy Roland midi, help tame its squeaks and squawks tracking problems. there are wind instrument files in the gr-55 but which are useless to use as they tend to misfire if you as so much as bend a string ever so slightly.. very annoying yes I know its technique adjustment. so would the bbc 2 work or is it just another extra 4 layers of learning technique music muscle memory?
Hi Patrick! So, even f you were to find a solution for getting past the interfacing issue, connecting the BC to the GR-55, it is still very doubtful if it would make a difference at all in terms of play-feel. The breathcontroller just provides a separate controller stream that you get to assign to whatever parameters are available in the GR-55. And these parameters will be available to you after conversion into MIDI (since we are talking about the MIDI part specifically). And any glitchiness, squeaks, and spurious notes coming out as a result of the poor Roland pitch-to- MIDI conversion will still be there. You just have control over some parameter of the resulting sound (volume or a filter or something). I am struggling with finding a more fitting case for the expression "putting lipstick on a pig" I am afraid. There are far better setups if you are looking for a great smooth controllable MIDI output to use with something like a breathcontroller, in my opinion. 👍
@@lofileif think's gr-55 as a midi controller only maybe just to send the midi messages for the bbc2 might that work same as a keyboard controller. as that was my idea thought. USB/midi to a vst synth/instrument in my daw and the bbc2 .. yeah the gr-55 is a sows ear without a doubt but it is still midi ha ha😆👍
Is there a noticeable delay between picking a string and hearing a note using CME WIDI Uhost or Panda Audio MIDIBeam? I want to get one of these, and I don't need a long range, but the CME is described at a Bluetooth device, not radio frequency, so I'm concerned it'd add too much latency. Thanks for all your videos!
Hi Nico! No considerable latency for any of these setups at short range. It does increase with distance, but at that time you are almost out of range (for the CME Uhost) anyway. I use the Uhost for almost everything at home, but if I am to perform live, I would prabably go for the Panda, because of its better reach and less likelyhood of signal issues. There is a latency in general to the whole MIDI Guitar setup, but it is not aggravated by the wireless setup (as far as I am concerned). In short, Panda is better, but Uhost is good enough! 👍
Thank you for showing all possible set up options. One dumb question - what advantange I will have if I use Midi Guitar along with BBC2? I can perform swell and other types of expressions etc with BBC2 - right? Then why do I need Midi Guitar? I am trying to play SWAM instruments using lap steel guitar. Also do you use speaker? If so how do you connect that wirelessly with your audio interface (or laptop or iPad) ?
Hi Sujoy! The advantages of using MIDI Guitar 2 (the software) together with the BBC2, is the amount of expression you can get out of a regular guitar as compared to any other setup I know. If you already have something that turns your lap steel guitar into MIDI so you can use it for SWAM instruments you probably don’t need the MG2 software. With regard to speakers, I do not use wireless speakers in my setup ever because of the amont of latency they bring to the mix.
@@hosenscheisser9 And you have it setup correctly as a plugin on an AUDIO track? Do you have MIDI track Record enabled, and Audio track = monitoring IN?
@@lofileif yes exactly like that. The midi track does receive midi information from the audio track, if i route it directly with „audio from audio track“. So overall it does work. But however i doesn’t receive any midi information with „midi from all channels“ selected. Therefore I can’t use my instrument plugins with an additional midicontroller besides the midiguitar
Ok, the problem is that I am a Mac guy (only). I haven't even dabbled with a PC as a kid! So any PC specific issues are already over my head, but I vaguely remember some questions similar to this from the MIDI Guitar 2 forum. Have you checked that out? jamosapien.com/latest
Hey LoFiLeif. So, I got the TEControl. I have a way to go before I figure it out, so I'll start with a first question... Is there a way to adjust the pressure (the amount of air that passes through) on the device itself? I ask because I came across a video that, if I got that right, said that one could. Is it at the tip at the end of the part that has the hole where the air passes? Does that part turn? I tried, but it doesn't look like it does. A related question is the setting of the breath in the TEC software. Right now, I have to blow quite hard to get the cursor go up significantly. Is that normal? Can it be optimized? OK. I figured out that the tip does turn to set the amount of air. What did you find to be the best? Do you leave it fully open, or..?
Hi Bernard! I use the fully closed postion. No air lost in the process and I feel it is the most sensitive that way. You should be able to set the curves so that you don’t have to blow hard at all. The further to the left you have it start the faster the response to your breath. Also, the steeper the curve, the faster you’ll get s hard response to your breath. 👍
@@lofileif Fully closed. Interesting. I'll try that, and obviously I have to explore these curves in the software. As I think of it, anything in particular about the maintenance of the controller? I was wondering where all the humidity goes. Do you clean it often? Or?
Just discovered your channel and my mind is blown. Can’t wait to get home and try this stuff out
Glad to hear! 😀 If you haven’t tried this software out at all before, there are a few pointers in this video that might be worth taking notice of. ua-cam.com/video/hHY9CysF4Dc/v-deo.html

Great work! I will be adding this to my TouchStyle guitars. Question; what is your opinion on which is the best and most realistic trumpet and sax sounds as far as plugin/sample brand? Thank you
Thank you! 🙏 Nowadays I use two saxophones primarily, the @audiomodeling SWAM saxes and the @Acousticsamples Vhorns saxes. Both sound and handle great, and I have a lot of examples of the SWAM saxes in my videos here. (14.20 and on in ua-cam.com/video/B3PP2ZXWyP8/v-deo.html) There aren't as many with the Vhorns saxes because it is a recent discovery. There will be more soon. ua-cam.com/video/jOAWo41txN4/v-deo.html
When it comes to trumpets, you have great trumpets and flugelhorns from Audio Modeling of course, as featured in a lot of my videos.
I have heard only great things about the Acousticsamples Vhorns brass, but I haven't had a chance to try those yet.
But my absolute favorite goto trumpet is the @samplemodeling "The Trumpet V3". Check it out in the Miles stuff: ua-cam.com/video/2UmnrQThf7g/v-deo.html
Thank you so much - i am really studying what you are sharing - great work!
i can't decide if I should buy the MIDI Guitar 2 right now or wait for the 3 to be released
Yeah, well if you KNOW that you are going to buy the software at some point, let me make it easier for you. MIDI Guitar comes with a lifetime licence, and any upgrades like the one into MG3 is free for any licence holder. If you don’t have the Trial version already it is free, and gives you a pretty good picture of how the software will work for YOU. www.jamorigin.com/download/
@@lofileif Thanks for the info, but this made me more hesitated to buy it because this plugin currently supports only VST2 but Cubase later than 11 stopped supporting VST2 and only VST3 works. I'm like 70% sure but let me ask you if the version 3 comes out, this plugin will come with VST3, right?
@@DycayBeats Then you should probably wait. I don’t know for sure what format the plugin is going to be, so I can’t really say. There was an attempt made at a VST3 version that didn’t work for all DAWs, and hence wasn’t released. Check the Forum for more on that: jamosapien.com/latest
1:16 oh no piezoElectric...May be piezoResister? tensoResister? Wheatstone Bridge?
Well, that is from the TEControl site itself. It is actually their own description! I’m in no position to verify of dispute their claims. If you know for a fact that it isn’t the case, I’ll be happy to hear more! 😀👍
@@lofileif We talked about this on lnstаGrаm - one year ago
Can I buy this device in the US? Or do I have to order it from the Swedish factory? Someone help me get it. I am a Colombian music producer and I need this tool for my work. Any information can help me. Warehouse or pickup link. Thank you.
Hey there! Everone I know of have purchased this from the (Swedish) developers website. www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-bite-controller-2
could this work with a Boss/Roland guitar synth gk3 gr-55 system as it is a midi device vst controller.
came across the bbc 2 a while ago and this video.. and was wondering , thinking what a clever thingy.
and would it help with the awful glitchy Roland midi, help tame its squeaks and squawks tracking
problems. there are wind instrument files in the gr-55 but which are useless to use as they tend to misfire
if you as so much as bend a string ever so slightly.. very annoying yes I know its technique adjustment.
so would the bbc 2 work or is it just another extra 4 layers of learning technique music muscle memory?
Hi Patrick! So, even f you were to find a solution for getting past the interfacing issue, connecting the BC to the GR-55, it is still very doubtful if it would make a difference at all in terms of play-feel. The breathcontroller just provides a separate controller stream that you get to assign to whatever parameters are available in the GR-55. And these parameters will be available to you after conversion into MIDI (since we are talking about the MIDI part specifically). And any glitchiness, squeaks, and spurious notes coming out as a result of the poor Roland pitch-to- MIDI conversion will still be there. You just have control over some parameter of the resulting sound (volume or a filter or something). I am struggling with finding a more fitting case for the expression "putting lipstick on a pig" I am afraid. There are far better setups if you are looking for a great smooth controllable MIDI output to use with something like a breathcontroller, in my opinion. 👍
@@lofileif
think's gr-55 as a midi controller only
maybe just to send the midi messages
for the bbc2 might that work same as a
keyboard controller. as that was my idea thought. USB/midi to a vst synth/instrument in my daw and the
bbc2 .. yeah the gr-55 is a sows ear
without a doubt but it is still midi
ha ha😆👍
Is there a noticeable delay between picking a string and hearing a note using CME WIDI Uhost or Panda Audio MIDIBeam? I want to get one of these, and I don't need a long range, but the CME is described at a Bluetooth device, not radio frequency, so I'm concerned it'd add too much latency. Thanks for all your videos!
Hi Nico! No considerable latency for any of these setups at short range. It does increase with distance, but at that time you are almost out of range (for the CME Uhost) anyway. I use the Uhost for almost everything at home, but if I am to perform live, I would prabably go for the Panda, because of its better reach and less likelyhood of signal issues. There is a latency in general to the whole MIDI Guitar setup, but it is not aggravated by the wireless setup (as far as I am concerned). In short, Panda is better, but Uhost is good enough! 👍
Thank you for showing all possible set up options. One dumb question - what advantange I will have if I use Midi Guitar along with BBC2? I can perform swell and other types of expressions etc with BBC2 - right? Then why do I need Midi Guitar? I am trying to play SWAM instruments using lap steel guitar.
Also do you use speaker? If so how do you connect that wirelessly with your audio interface (or laptop or iPad) ?
Hi Sujoy! The advantages of using MIDI Guitar 2 (the software) together with the BBC2, is the amount of expression you can get out of a regular guitar as compared to any other setup I know. If you already have something that turns your lap steel guitar into MIDI so you can use it for SWAM instruments you probably don’t need the MG2 software.
With regard to speakers, I do not use wireless speakers in my setup ever because of the amont of latency they bring to the mix.
Love your content.
my Ableton have problems with recognizing midi guitar as a midi port. Anybody got the same problem ?
Thanks man! 🙏 What setup do you have? Mac or PC? Is it both for standalone and for the plugin version?
@@lofileif thx for thequick answer. For PC. only for the plugin version.
@@hosenscheisser9 And you have it setup correctly as a plugin on an AUDIO track? Do you have MIDI track Record enabled, and Audio track = monitoring IN?
@@lofileif yes exactly like that. The midi track does receive midi information from the audio track, if i route it directly with „audio from audio track“. So overall it does work. But however i doesn’t receive any midi information with „midi from all channels“ selected. Therefore I can’t use my instrument plugins with an additional midicontroller besides the midiguitar
Ok, the problem is that I am a Mac guy (only). I haven't even dabbled with a PC as a kid! So any PC specific issues are already over my head, but I vaguely remember some questions similar to this from the MIDI Guitar 2 forum. Have you checked that out? jamosapien.com/latest
Is it possible to incorporate the BBC2 with Ipad to play the Swam instruments ios apps without a computer ?
Of course! You have to have a computer to configure the TEControl breathcontroller, but other than that it is like in the video 20:20.
Hey LoFiLeif. So, I got the TEControl. I have a way to go before I figure it out, so I'll start with a first question... Is there a way to adjust the pressure (the amount of air that passes through) on the device itself? I ask because I came across a video that, if I got that right, said that one could. Is it at the tip at the end of the part that has the hole where the air passes? Does that part turn? I tried, but it doesn't look like it does.
A related question is the setting of the breath in the TEC software. Right now, I have to blow quite hard to get the cursor go up significantly. Is that normal? Can it be optimized?
OK. I figured out that the tip does turn to set the amount of air. What did you find to be the best? Do you leave it fully open, or..?
Hi Bernard! I use the fully closed postion. No air lost in the process and I feel it is the most sensitive that way. You should be able to set the curves so that you don’t have to blow hard at all. The further to the left you have it start the faster the response to your breath. Also, the steeper the curve, the faster you’ll get s hard response to your breath. 👍
@@lofileif Fully closed. Interesting. I'll try that, and obviously I have to explore these curves in the software.
As I think of it, anything in particular about the maintenance of the controller? I was wondering where all the humidity goes. Do you clean it often? Or?
@@BernardGuy Simple answer, no! I use it, that is all. 😀
