Illio’s hb1 MIDI Breath Station from Hornberg Research is designed to allow the user to add natural expression to any electronic instrument or peripheral device with MIDI or USB.
Breath controllers have long been used to add critical nuance and detail to standard keyboard performances, but after spending a few minutes with the hb1, you’ll understand why this goes beyond a typical breath controller. The hb1 features a special wooden mouthpiece, a precision sensor, a MIDI-merger, an integrated MIDI-interface, and many innovative parameters to set the stage for a richly expressive performance whether in studio or live.
The Hornberg hb1 is designed to infuse your performances with more expressiveness than is possible with a keyboard controller alone.
