VST Plug-ins wind instruments breath control

I am using an AKAI EWI USB for midi controller. In the supplied Aria software for EWI I can control breath attack to put more emotion into my music. Unfortunately the supplied Ewi patches are not the best. I have purchased Brass, flute, cello vst from the Magix Shop and there doesn’t seem to be any way to control breath input, the notes are either off or on. So I cannot control breath input to maintain the note at lower volume levels by blowing very softly, I have to blow at a constant airflow to stop the note from switching off. I can use a keyboard and it will attack the note depending on how hard I hit it, like a piano does. Breath attack is very important using woodwind instruments and I am wondering if I have missed something or the function is just not available in the woodwind VST plug-ins. Maybe there is a synth. that allows adjustments to breath control?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Music Maker 2022.

@Mikey64 You can make a right click on the GUI controls and select MIDI learn. I would suggest you do this with the volume knob and map it to your breath controller. Does this work for you?

Thanks for responding SP. Do you mean GUI files or inside MM DAW? I’ll look around in the meantime. Mike.

@Mikey64 I mean the controls of the Vita Instrument GUI. If you make a right click on them you can activate MIDI learn. Then just change a controller of your MIDI device and it will be mapped to that specific control.
