Augmented YDS-120 Alto Saxophone

Did you find the absence of a bite sensor on the Yamaha YDS-120 digital saxophone disappointing? Or perhaps you were hoping for wireless MIDI functionality? We have upgraded the YDS-120 into a fully functional digital MIDI saxophone by incorporating a bite sensor and a Bluetooth midi.

Features

1. Bite sensor : Control Change #1 is integrated with the original MIDI output of the YDS-120, enabling LFO-style vibrato effects. The Audiofront MIDI Expression device is integrated and it allows users to customize the bite sensor for different cc number, value and sensitivity curve/range, etc. Please note that the bite sensor DOES NOT INFLUENCE the internal sound engine of the YDS-120 and functions exclusively for MIDI control.

2. Specially designed and printed mouthpiece : Certified food grade 3d print filament was used for health safety. The bite sensor is protected by a 100% medical-grade silicone cover.

3. YDS-120 breath sensor protection tool : Prevents saliva from entering the breath sensor, avoiding MIDI signal issues.

4. Low-latency wireless Bluetooth connectivity : The CME Pro WIDI Uhost is included.

5. Traditional 5-pin DIN MIDI port : Reliable wired MIDI connection.

6. 3D-printed alto saxophone bell

7. It fits into a regular alto saxophone carrying case.
