i don't think my wind controller (casio dh200) is complex enough to fully
control the A6. at any rate, the most expression i could get was playing the
notes a little softer or louder. i thought you had gotten it to work pretty
well with your windsynth? i tried the patch you used and it didn't really
respond the way i hoped it would.
