AirMotion is a new breath controller from Papritech that is offered at a very affordable price.
Does anyone have any information about this product?
Maybe @LoFiLeiF can tell us more?

Looks like its a breath and motion controller, wonder if it is MPE or not. I saw this one supposedly will have MPE: Photon mouthpiece

Hi @Herold
I had not seen this until now At a quick glance it sort of ticks a lot of boxes, but when I checked the videos these guys have out I got a bit more hesitant. First; No bite sensor - it is not a biggie for most of us , but when I think of how I actually use the TEControl BBC2, I use the bite WAY more than the gyro (tilt, Nod) functions. Secondly, For it to be wireless in any interesting way (for me), I want a rechargeable unit in itself. The BBC2 and the WIDI Uhost + a power bank isn’t much less wireless than just a power bank (for which you have this annoying cable - the thing I REALLY want to get rid of). And third, although it looked sturdy, and that is of course a good thing, I am not sure about the (harmonica) neck holder. But this is all from a guy that is VERY set in his ways.
That price however should look good to anyone interested, that have not bought anything yet and is sure that the bite sensor isn’t important.
@Bolt The Photon on the other hand, I have had my eye on for the longest time. This really seems like something of an evolution of the basic product. Hopefully if won’t ruin me, because I will probably get it as soon as it hits the market.

Why do most of them have what looks to be the cheapest possible cable

@LoFiLeiF @Bolt Thanks for the info, although I’m tempted to use a breath controller which offers more simultaneous functions than 2 feet on pedals, I’m not ready for that yet, both in terms of budget and time availability. Someday will come…

I know! I thought so too. Those tiny cables look like they will break instantly. But I must say, I have two TEControl units and I haven’t had any issues with either. And it is probably not from lack of being used. But they definitely don’t look the part!

I just looked and there’s a wireless version rechargeable. However, they wanted more than 200 dollars to post Greece!!!
Update!! Just ordered the plus version, wireless and rechargeable!! Postage a sensible amount…

I was looking at it. Basically it connect via Bluetooth to a smart phone and the phone connect to the computer. Also I didnt know if it had pitch bend capabilities. That time I wasn’t introduced to MG2

The AirMotion Lite seems like an inexpensive Breath Controller, even if it has no bite control.

If I could make the damn thing work, I would review it…. I am not the best with midi but I’m currently in Greece and would prefer to speak to the Air Motion guys when I’m back….first impressions are poor quality manufacture, no proper manual…I bought the pro version, rechargeable…someone else could probably make it work…

thanks for Sharing. Any other details are greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
After a long gap during which I struggled to get anywhere, Papritech swapped my old unit for the new wireless AirMotion pro and I am delighted with it. I’m only using breath for expression so far but will be checking the nod and tilt soon. 169€ seems very reasonable and it’s much better than the earlier model. My apologies for doubting them earlier! I’ve used it with my SWAM instruments on iPad and logics own studio horns. I’m quite excited!
Also works great with MG2 and MG3….
I also have their Pro version, but it is nowhere near as good as the TEControl one. For me, editing it on a phone with very course parameters doesn’t work well. I reached out to them a few times and never heard anything back. So it just sits on my shelf…
