#Akai ewi usb software
One of the biggest 'wastes' in the software is that almost a quarter of the application width is chewed up by an ugly dithered graphic with the garritan and Akai logo's slapped over it. Netbooks are ideal for taking the EWI on the road with their long battery life, and any of the intel Atom powered units have proven quite up to the task, but the software itself leaves much to be desired in that regard. More of a concern is that the software is written to only work as a fixed resolution, and at over 900x520 by the time you figure in window chrome and the menu, the program barely fits the screen of a 1024圆00 10" netbook, and does NOT fit the 800x480 screen of your first gen netbooks. and some controls you cannot "see at the same time" for each patch. Elements that I personally would like quick access to at the same time (transpose and pan at the same time, transpose from ANY sub-tab) are spread out over several separate pages. 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 ).The Aria software that is bundled with the EWI USB is certainly useful enough, but in a lot of ways it felt. 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.
