Less hassle to access pc/mac softsynths/samplers but on the otherhand dependent on your laptop for gig use. It is cheaper and relies on usb for both its power and soundsource. Unlike yamaha wind synths the mouthpiece is a simple blow -no reed and easy to unscrew to wash it.Īs I understand it, the usb version is lighter with less on board features. The instrument is quite rugged though and tough enough for pub gigs etc. Accessing all other parameters such as fine runing response or the 60 onboard sounds are via a 2 digit led display which can be irritating. There are also buttons to allow either a drone or doubled octave. The fingering is simple enough (for a even a trombonist!) with 6 main touch keys and 2 side keys for each pinky. It is possible to transpositions so mine stays in Bb. It also has a glide strip which you access with the tip of your thumb. It takes 4 aa batteries or 9v adaptor and I really like the 7 ( I think) octave range which is accessed by rollers with your left thumb.
It takes batteries and has a jack lead output which you can connect to an amp or pa. I tend to stick to a big fat squelchy synth sound. I just got mine a few hours ago and it makes perfect sense, logically built. Hope all is well - Dude, you come up with a great instrument with the EWI USB.

In addition to the traditional EWI 'fingering', the EWI USB can be. Akai Professional designed the EWI USB to give wind players the expressive musical capabilities previously found only in much more expensive instruments. Akai EWI USB Downloads, Files, Resources: Please visit the Akai Pro website for the latest manuals, info, and software supporting the USB EWI. With a street price of 299 USD (circa March 2009) it opens the door to more people than ever. On the EWI USB, the fingering options are selected. The 'Ev' and 'Er' settings are the EVI fingering options. This parameter has several options (as of EWI4000s OS v2.4) including EWI, Sax, Flute, Oboe, and EVI. EVI Fingering Mode is selected with the FINGERING 'Fn' parameter. Unlike the usb version, it also has internal sounds which tend to be synth like rather than samples. The EWI USB is the latest in a long line of wind controllers from Akai and the first to be readily available to the public within what could be considered the hobbyist price range. All Akai EWI USB and EWI5000 units include this EVI fingering option. It is possible to midi it out to other sound sources and sound like what ever. I've been using for Ewi 4000s for some time.
