Akai EWI4000s Wind Controller Review
This review is pending. Here's a general summary:
Akai's newest wind controller is the the EWI 4000S. This controller allows
outstanding breath response with additional controllers for
pitch bend (up and down), vibrato, and glide. The keys are
touch sensitive, and hence are lighting fast. This touch sensitivity,
coupled with the wide array of controllers makes this wind controller
from Akai very popular with players. Unlike
older Akai EWI models, the new EWI4000s has an on-board internal synthesizer
so you don't need to buy a separate synthsizer module. This internal synth
is analog style, so don't expect perfect digital samples like on a modern
synthesizer, but it's an organic, nice feeling synth very well suited for
wind control. And you can always connect the EWI4000s directly into any
MIDI synthesizer of your choosing. This is an outstanding, professional
instrument for any serious wind controller player.
