ONE BREATH · THREE MIDI LAYERS

MRTAUDIO STANDARD

USB MIDI BREATH CONTROLLER

Shape dynamics, timbre and articulation with your breath while your hands stay on the instrument. Route one breath input to as many as three independent MIDI controls and keep your performance presets on the device.

SIGNATURE CONTROL

ONE BREATH. THREE INDEPENDENT MIDI LAYERS.

Each layer can use its own MIDI destination, channel, input range, output range, response curve, and attack or release response.

Assignments shown below are examples. Every layer is configurable.

IN PERFORMANCE

HANDS ON THE KEYS. EXPRESSION IN YOUR BREATH.

Shape compatible instruments while both hands remain on the keyboard or performance controls. Breath becomes a continuous source for dynamics, timbre, and articulation.

MRTAUDIO Standard USB-C and MIDI OUT connections

FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS

ONE CONTROLLER. TWO MIDI PATHS.

Use class-compliant USB-MIDI with a compatible host, or connect the 3.5 mm TRS Type-A MIDI OUT to an instrument's MIDI IN. Power is supplied over USB-C. A USB socket alone does not establish MIDI host compatibility.

USB-C / USB-MIDI

Data and 5 V power through one connection on compatible hosts.

TRS TYPE-A MIDI OUT

Hardware MIDI connection through the supplied Type-A to 5-pin DIN cable.

MRTAUDIO breath headset with removable pipe and mouthpieces

COMPLETE PERFORMANCE SET

A BREATH HEADSET DESIGNED AS PART OF THE SYSTEM.

Position the mouthpiece, connect it to BC IN, and keep both hands available for the instrument. The complete set includes the MRTAUDIO headset, one removable flexible pipe, and two removable mouthpieces, including one spare.

Turn the manual air-release cap beside the mouthpiece to adjust physical airflow and blowing resistance. This is separate from the MIDI response settings.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST SETUP

Does it produce sound or work as a microphone?

No. MRTAUDIO Standard converts breath pressure into MIDI control data. A compatible instrument or software sound source produces the audio; its MIDI mapping determines which parameter changes.

Can I play without a computer?

Yes, with an instrument that accepts the chosen MIDI messages. Connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN with the supplied Type-A cable and provide 5 V USB power. For a keyboard without compatible USB-MIDI host support, use a separate USB power supply.

Can I use any headset with a 3.5 mm plug?

A matching plug does not guarantee electrical or sensor compatibility. The complete set includes a compatible MRTAUDIO breath headset. Contact MRTAUDIO before connecting another headset model.

Does turning the encoder select a preset?

Not in the normal adjustment mode: turning changes the selected Gain or Layer 1 OUT MIN value. Briefly press the encoder to enter preset selection before turning it. Gain adjusts sensitivity; it is not a master volume control.
