Yes - and sax patches as well. Gives it quite a bit more realism, but there's nothing like the real instrument.

Hey phattbuzz! Which ones do you enjoy? Are you using the SE controller?
I'm actually playing the old cs01 with Bc1 (have the bc3 too but didn't worked well with the cs) and enjoy it!
I have to do some brass for a brazilian cover project and search for some good things.
Thanks!

At the link below you can find some programs I did a while back for BC. This assumes your device is sending CC#02, which is traditional for breath control.

Here are a couple of examples using breath control done on the Kronos.

I'm using the TEC Breath Controller. They have two versions, one is a straight breath controller and the other has a bite control too. Usually I just use the breath controller. Both versions plug straight into one of the USB slots on the Kronos. They work with Bush's programs without any extra programming.

I use a TEControl USB breath controller with Busch's patches on Kronos and it all worked straight out of the box. You can also change the BC settings with the software provided for free by the manufacturer (you need a Mac or Windows computer) to any CC you like. It can also send pitch bend or aftertouch.

Breath control is an indispensible add-on in my opinion.
