Akai Professional’s decades of experience in wind and electronic music instruments are rolled into our most user friendly — and most affordable — EWI ever. What’s the difference between EWI USB and EWI4000s? Akai’s classic EWI4000s is the industry standard, but we wanted to design a simpler EWI for newcomers to the instrument and for those who don’t need the advanced features of EWI4000s.EWI USB is essentially a wind controller that plays through Aria software (included) rather than from internal sounds. Aria is easy to use and pre-configured to be “intuitive” for beginners, but advanced players can still customize it for their own tastes. Also, EWI USB sends out MIDI information over a standard USB connection, so an experienced MIDI user can explore its other applications beyond Aria. What fingerings are available on EWI USB? You can use EWI, saxophone, flute, oboe, and EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument) fingerings with EWI USB. You’ll find these fingering charts in the EWI USB Quickstart Manual under the “Docs & Downloads” tab.PREMIUM PEDIGREE Akai Professional is the first name in electronic wind instruments. For over 20 years, Akai Professional has studied the art of playing saxophone, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and other traditional winds, and developed electronic wind instruments that enable wind players to enjoy the same expressive control as in an acoustic instrument. We designed EWI USB to give wind players the expressive musical capabilities previously found only in much more expensive instruments.PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCEEWIs are the only choice for serious wind players looking to make music electronically. While EWI USB is easy and fun to use, it’s also powerful, flexible, and most importantly reliable enough for use on stage and in the studio by professional musicians. COMPUTER CONTROLEWI USB is the most flexible EWI because it harnesses your computer to generate its sounds. Its USB interface means that all you need is nearly any Mac or PC and the included EWI USB software, and you’re ready to practice, perform, create, and record with a full collection of wind instrument sounds. Aria Player software was produced specifically for use with EWI USB, providing wind players with an unprecedented level of expressive control.LARGE SOUND PALETTE You get over 75 different orchestral, concert band, jazz band, and synthesizer sound sets expertly recorded and programmed by Garritan, renowned for its ultra-realistic instrument sound libraries. MULTI MODEEWI USB offers multiple fingering modes including sax, traditional EWI, flute, oboe, and EVI (brass), so whether you’re just starting out as a woodwind student or an old pro wind player, you’ll find EWI USB easy to play. EWI USB is designed for you to spend your time playing music; not learning technology.SURPRISING AFFORDABILITYHistorically, electronic wind instruments have fallen into two different categories: high-end, professional instruments and toys. EWI USB breaks the price barrier, bringing professional quality, expressive control, and a studio-ready sound library to a price the professional-wind-instrument world has never seen.Discover the world of expression that only wind instruments can offer with EWI USB.
