General
As the first manufacturer of electronic wind instruments, it seems only right that Akai is also the first to introduce USB wind instruments! Use this electronic instrument to play the saxophone, the oboe, the flute, or even the trumpet - thanks to various fingering modes, anyone can use this device. The EWI USB provides beginners with a great first step into the world of sampling, but is also great for more advanced musicians and producers. Simply connect the wind controller to a PC or Mac, and the included software provides you with the finest sounds in various styles.
The Akai EWI USB is supplied with Aria Player: sound generating software that has been developed By Garitan specifically for this wind controller in cooperation with Pogue Art & Technology. The software provides you with 75 sounds in a wide range of styles, from classic to pop and jazz, and allows you to use up to four sounds simultaneously. The EWI USB is truly one of the first of its kind, making Akai a real go-to brand!

Het apparaat werkt net iets anders maar heeft wel veel mogelijkheden.
Ik heb een niet zo standaard setup:
Ik plug mijn EWI in op een usb hub die plug ik in een verloopstukje van usb + lightning in naar lightning uit naar de iPad.
De output van de iPad gaat via een 4 aderige minijack kabel naar de iRig stompbox en die lus ik door naar mijn Eventide Mixing link waar ik ook mijn reguliere saxmic op heb zitten.
Waar ik wel nog niet helemaal over uit ben:
* Ik heb heel veel lucht "over" t.o.v. saxofoon spelen. Kan de EWI meer open worden gezet?
* Ik vind het moeilijk om een toon langer aan te houden... Lijkt of EWI vooral reageert op de aanzet, maar mogelijk niet op de airflow.
Instrument werkt zeer degelijk. Wel een drietal uur als leek nodig gehad om alles optimaal te krijgen. Websites zoals patchman en ewiusb.com waren van onschatbare hulp voor het opzet, maar dit is meer een kritiek op akai, zeker niet op bax.
