What he has less, well, as said is the absence of an octave portamento and more on the whole. What he has going for it is its configuration directly by a micro interface. Since then, I do not play my vst with my EWI USB. This prompted me to quickly look for another controller for my vst, hence the choice of the EWI USB. When I got my first 4000, I immediately found an affinity with the instrument, its synthesis module. in fact, I was not able to give me the octave system and the time, no vst. I tried hard for a long time ago to play with and I soon abandoned WX7. In fact this is the main criticism I have to do to it. I worked on the finger on the right trade-off with the USB because it has less of an octave and has no control portamento as the 4000. at first I was surprised at the difference I felt in 4000 and play with USB. interest for me was located mainly in the fact of having a more flexible instrument, while having a controller (The EWI USB) dedicated to using vst on stage. I bought this controller to test an alternative to 4000 of the same manufacturer. īut this is a minor little shadow, which should in no way obscure the overall very positive assessment of this tool, provided with the right to use virtual instruments behind (Sample Modeling is shown again ). I myself run 32bit version on my W7 64bit, the 64bit version crashing consistently.

I use it with virtual instruments Sample modeling that are particularly suitable for revealing the full potential of the beast.Īlready, because it is still expensive for something that by itself produces no sound (provided the bank with not worth the detour).īut more importantly, because the manual is lacking, and the software configuration is unstable and extremely wrong. In the absence of breath sensor alone worthy of the name, I decided to buy the ewi usb to use as breath sensor + bite (double-checking the mouth) in addition to my keyboard ( in the workplace), and also as an instrument in its own right, just for fun. Is not a wind instrument player, but a pianist, I was looking for a good wind controller. I have not tried its closest competitor, the Yamaha WX5 from home. but for a simple composition in the studio, the EWI USB is perfectīought in a shop on Ebay for much less American than Europe. It is clear that there will be more sophisticated devices such as EWI4000 which has additional functions. In any case my settings (orchestral) reached a much higher level of realism that I did before with this (low) investment. touch or programing will never replace the instinct that you put in a breath. we quickly realized that we are able to program with the EWI breath controller and things infeasible to the modulation wheel. Therefore no difficulty in handling except perhaps managing to integrate octave but it is also quite fast. Not knowing necessarily play a wind instrument (clarinet and saxophone) I chose EWI fingering Standart (one of the different fingerings offered by EWI) behaves roughly speaking as a single flute fingering. On the other hand, coupled with sound banks Sample Modeling (sounds studied for windcontrolers) and a good reverb (Altiverb), then the result is more than impressive. The module from its base (GARITAN aria) is absolutely realistic but definitely not all. Internal Midi").No difficulty when out of the box. Now the midi signal flows from your EWI-USB to the utility and then to your DAW input as shown in the diagram above (replace "IAC Bus 1" with the respective loopback port names on Windows, e.g. In your DAW, select "IAC Bus 1" for midi input. In the utility, select "EWI-USB" for midi input and "IAC Bus 1" as output. We have tested with LoopBe ( After setting up a loopback port, restart your DAW and the Akai EWI USB Control utility.

On Windows, you will need to get a third party loopback driver (LoopBe, MIDI Yoke, or similar). The loopback ports should now appear as "IAC Bus" in the list of available MIDI ports on your Mac. Make sure it is online and has at least one port created. Spotlight for "Audio MIDI Setup" and open its MIDI Window. On The Mac, a Loopback Driver is part of the system. For this you need a MIDI Loopback Driver ("virtual midi cable"):ĮWI-USB => Akai EWI USB Control => Loopback Driver => DAW
