The Never Ending Quest for an EWI4000s Battery Clip-in

Posted on February 1, 2014April 3, 2021 By ericdano No Comments on The Never Ending Quest for an EWI4000s Battery Clip-in

So, I don’t know exactly how to tell the Akai parts people what I need. Basically, I lost the clip in battery holder thing for my EWI4000s. So the first time I called to get the part, they sent me the clip in part…..without the metal connectors. Which is completely useless. This week, I called…

REVIEW: iRig and iRig HD

Posted on November 25, 2013 By ericdano No Comments on REVIEW: iRig and iRig HD

For a while now, I’ve been using an iRig with my EWI. It works rather well considering the price. It allows me to hook up my EWI to an iPad/iPhone/iPod and use programs like Garageband to add effects. You can also even get Looping apps so you can layer sonic creations on you iOS device….

REVIEW: EWI Case

Posted on November 25, 2013November 25, 2013 By ericdano No Comments on REVIEW: EWI Case

I first published this in 2012 on Jazz-Sax.com. I have had an Akai EWI4000S for a while now (5 years? More?) I should probably at some point do a review of it and why you should get the 4000S instead of the crippled USB only version (or maybe that is the review?). But what I…

Learning EWI…..What Fingering Mode To Use

Posted on November 24, 2013 By ericdano 7 Comments on Learning EWI…..What Fingering Mode To Use

Someone asked me about this recently, and I honestly totally forgot that the Akai EWI 4000S has different fingering modes. If you too forgot, refresh yourself here (reference manual). I suppose if you are coming from another instrument, say Oboe, flute, clarinet, saxophone, or trumpet, switching the EWI into a mode that emulates the fingerings…

Michael Brecker’s Logic Environment

Posted on August 25, 2013 By ericdano No Comments on Michael Brecker’s Logic Environment

I was trying to clean out a folder on my Mac with a ton of PDFs, and came across a PDF that was from an article from the ill-fated Virtual Instruments Magazine. I’m pretty sure I have the article scanned and saved SOMEWHERE, but as I remember it detailed sort of the magical environment Michael…

Artiphon

Posted on June 30, 2013June 30, 2013 By ericdano No Comments on Artiphon

We live in an awesome age. We have little 4 inch devices that are more powerful than computers that were made less than 8 years ago. Now, there is this very interesting instrument, an Artiphon. CNN had an article on it: Is it a guitar? Is it a piano? Nope, it is a crazy iPhone-powered…
