Product: Playing The Akai EWI USB Electronic Wind Instrument (2015-10-16)
This book is for the amateur musicians who are interested in electronic wind instruments in general and the Akai EWI USB in particular. It explains the functions of the EWI’s various sensors, hardware configuration parameters, MIDI controller functions, Aria software synthesiser features, and external connections. And it describes the similarities and the differences between the EWI and the traditional wind instruments. But this book is not meant to replace the official Akai publications. It is also not a tips-and-tricks book that teaches you how to make fancy balloon animals out of the EWI, and it is not an instruction book that teaches you music theory fundamentals. It is focused on the technical information about the EWI, the sort of information not found in the official manuals, the sort of information you can use to decide whether the EWI is right for you if you have not already purchased one, the sort of information you can use to explore the numerous musical possibilities if you did purchase one.
