I have been testing my augmented EMEO digital saxophone and updated it with several improvement.
Added a small pipe inside the saxophone neck/mouthpiece and sealed bite sensor part in order to minimize air leak. Now I can play longer passages with one breath.
2. Added a CME WIDI host for Bluetooth midi connection for EMEO. EMEO has a Bluetooth midi connection capacity but it has some latency.
3. Added a 10,000mAh rechargeable battery (18W) which can turn on EMEO and run other midi devices attached to my EMEO (2 CME WIDI hosts, 2 Audiofront MIDI expression controllers). Original EMEO's Bluetooth connection process is a little bit cumbersome in my opinion- you need to turn on the instrument, then have to blow the instrument while midi connection is being processed on Bluetooth BLE app on iPAD. In my current setting , my instrument is ready to play as soon as the power is on from the rechargeable battery as I programmed all Bluetooth connection as automatic.
