You are one cool Kat man. I really dig what you have done here. Do you make and /or sell the Bass Clarinet conversions for the WX7? Time to get your cottage biz going here : >)
The customization of the WX7 is rather curious and looks great, but Parker's Yardbird Suite was really bad choice of a standard. The tempo was always innacurate, so the staccatto and even the notes of the melody. It didn't swing at all, buddy, I'm sorry. I've also a wx7, and recorded my first album with the midi wind controller, but never as sax 'imitation'. These instruments are excellent to find new original timbres n sonorities, not to copycat acoustic ones.

I have different conversions. The above one uses a standard Alto mouthpiece and thus has no Pitchbend. With Bass clarinet mouthpieces I can build in the Pitchbend assembly.
Thanks I have more customisations coming soon, but I just build for fun, WX7's are hard to source and bass clarinets are expensive.

I see,
How about the sound, which the regular mouthpiece generates. How did you manage to keep the WX7 sound clean ?
thanks

The breath pressure generates the sound. Different mouthpieces just require different breathing techniques.

Do you use a regular sax mouthpiece/reed to blow into your wx 7 ? Or it is just the WX7 mouth piece with the neck for a visual purpose?
, Interesting your adaptation, congrats, well done!
