Two Masato Honda Videos About His EWI’s
The first video has rough translations available, the second does not (yet). Great to hear his array of instruments. He makes all of these sound great.

Tom Scott YouTube Channel
Legend Tom Scott has a YouTube channel, and it’s criminally under viewed. It’s a great channel with Tom telling stories like how he was in the Blues Brothers band, or playing a great little rendition of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (where he does a little bit on the new Roland Aerophone AE30).

Roland AE-30
Roland has released another in their line of Aerophone Digital Wind Instruments. You have the Aerophone AE-10, the Aerophone GO, the Aerophone mini, and now the Aerophone Pro (AE-30).

The Digital Saxophone breaks the barrier to entry for new or returning musicians providing the ability to quickly express…
EWI Tool Is BACK!
EWI Tool, and open source patch editor for the Akai EWI4000s was shutdown almost 2 years ago. And Akai has since discontinued making the EWI 4000s (stupid decision in my opinion). Seems like if you are a macOS user, you were kinda screwed as if you went to 10.15 (Catalina), you basically couldn’t edit your…
