Abstract
It has been only 4 years since Akai and Yamaha introduced the first MIDI wind controllers at the Chicago Exposition of the National Association of Music Merchants. These instruments were designed to be the wind player’s link to digital electronic music hardware−synthesizers, sequencers, and other computerized applications. The true potential of these windcontrollers has never been as an electronic facsimile of the flute, clarinet, or saxophone, but rather as a step beyond the world of standard instrumental timbres into; who knows where? This presentation addresses the questions of how a MIDI wind controller may be used in jazz performance, and how technology is handing wind players an instrument whose potential is not clearly related to their demands as performers.
