Abstract
There is provided a wind synthesizer controller playable by the same manipulation as that of a customary musical instrument as well as able to obtain accurate scale information and volume information. The wind synthesizer controller includes a microphone, an expiration intensity measuring unit, and a controller. The microphone detects a sound generated by flowed in expiration. The expiration intensity measuring unit measures intensity of the expiration on the basis of a detected sound signal. The controller generates volume information on the basis of the measured expiration intensity. The volume information at least includes note on, note off, and velocity.
