As the title says, I want to try wind controllers, a realistic sound is a requirement, and I want to spend very little money in case it does not please me.
For background, I have a bit of hyperacousia, which always triggered when blowing my clarinet. I hope this would not be the case with a controller as the blowing is maybe not as hard, and the sound is not directly next to my ears.
After a bit of googling, I have arrived at the conclusion that the following configuration would correspond to my needs :
A controller (haven't yet chosen)
An iPad (which I don't yet own)
Audio Modeling Camelot for iPad
Any of the SWAM instruments for Camelot
A speaker (which I own)
Since I personally prefer Android, but there does not seem to be any way to play the SWAM sounds with it, I would rather go with an inexpensive iPad. I found I can buy a reconditionned iPad 9.7 with 32 Go RAM and wi-fi for about 150€ on my local Amazon.
Camelot for iPad is (I can't check, not owning an iPad) 30€, I believe.
Lastly, I believe Camelot users can get one brass, one wood for free ?
Therefore if my calculations are correct, I can test the universe of wind controllers, with a realistic sound, for 180€ plus the price of whatever controller I end up choosing ?
Lastly, I was thinking of either the re.corder, or the greaten ap. I am aware other controllers are more refined, but I ain't even sure it won't trigger my hyperacousia.
I would gratefully welcome any input
