Site dedicated to EWI (Akai, Roland, Yamaha and others)
The EWI space has yet another entry, Schirmer & Sons has TWO different models of EWI. Two. Wish they had some sound samples, but these look interesting for the fans of the Akai 4000/5000 model of EWI (they seem to have cloned those).
For those of us who still use and LOVE their EWI 4000S, but cannot actively manage the synth on it anymore, fear not. A new version of EWITool has been release that seems to work on all platforms now. I believe the original author sunsetted it, but it has been resurrected by a new user….
There seems to be more Electronic Wind Instruments out there than I know. Here is a company called Greaten, which makes TWO versions of an EWI. The difference between them can be found here. Basically, these look like Akai EWI4000/5000 clones. Which is NOT a bad thing. Now this would be an excellent thing if……IF……it…
A company called MidiPlus is coming out with a wind controller called “Elesa”. No word on pricing, but it’s good to see more Wind Controllers out there.

Does anyone have experience setting up an EWI5000 in Presonus Studio One to work with Aria Player or any of the VST instrument group included with PS1? I have everything working with one exception… There is no ability to crescendo/decrescendo by blowing harder or softer into the EWI. There is the ability to create a…
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). Retailing for a whopping $1500, it does have a lot of things going for it. It seems to really embrace the synth part more than it’s…
Hi All I’m a lucky owner of the wonderfull VL70m, VL1m, S90 with 3 PLGVLs and a WX5 controller and EWI 4000. A few years ago I decided to remove the dust from my VL70m and get deep into the secrets of this synth. So, I took on the challenge to build a new VL70-m…
