Abstract

This paper presents a design of wind instrument controller for Chinese folk music. Since the birth of MIDI, the electronic musical instrument industry has become increasingly mature through constant iteration. This paper aims to restore the air pressure amplitude mapping of real musical instruments, and tries to design a wind instrument controller based on the prototype of Sheng, making a preliminary attempt to fill the gap in the market of national wind instrument controllers.
