Well, I found using bellows pressure for Schweller quite unsatisfactory
and switched off pressure sensitivity eventually.  I'd expect a breath
controller not to fare better in that regard, and as general controller
it would be single-manual and monophonic, wouldn't it?

So I expect nothing overwhelming here unless you find one-fingered organ
playing interesting.  Ok ok, Bach turned the "monophonic" prelude of the
solo violin partita 3 into an organ prelude, but even on organ you'd
probably want to play some phrases over more than a single manual.
