I'm using the I2M for voice to MIDI control. PB works reasonably well.
Q1 Can volume be used to control MIDI volume, or other parameters ?
Q2 Can vowel vocalities be used as a modulation source ?

I know Dragon Dictate does a pretty amazing job of providing such analysis, and I do some Max dev work, but I stay on the MIDI side.

Being that I have a background in Flight & Ground Test Instrumentation in the aerospace industry, some limited programming and microcontroller experience, perhaps I can provide some direction\insight, but having these additional modulation sources could be a wonderful thing.

Looking forward to a reply.

Thanks,

Q1 Can volume be used to control MIDI volume, or other parameters ?

Yes. The signal level can be sent as another MIDI controller. Originally this was limited to just sending the breath controller, but you can now configure it to send any MIDI controller (see the desktop editor, "mode"page).

Q2 Can vowel vocalities be used as a modulation source ?

No. It currently just uses the pitch information of the note; it doesn't look at the harmonic structure to work out the vowel components. Although, it could certainly do that with some internal tweaking. As an aside, our Wahoo pedal can do this in reverse: you can configure vowel sounds that you can modulate, so we're very familiar with vowel analysis and manipulation.

Sorry, I never did thank you for your feedback on this. It's still good news ! I just haven't had a chance to work with it since my last post.

I'll keep you informed.

that's good information also for me
