Breath Controller and Mainstage

[philtre71]

Has anyone got any experience of using a midi breath controller as part of a mainstage setup?

 

Specifically, I"m thinking about adding a BBC2 breath controller into my live rig, which currently involves a Studiologic SL73 running into Mainstage. For most songs I have multiple instruments and split points, and often use multiple patches (it"s a Peter Gabriel cover band, so there"s a lot of ground to cover). The idea would be to use the breath controller to add some nuance to the flute/brass/bagpipe parts that I currently play using the keyboard. Mostly I"m using Kontakt for these instruments.

 

I"d be interested in others" experience of incorporating a breath controller into mainstage, where the pitch information is still be produced by the keyboard but other data (e.g. velocity) is provided by the controller.
