Akai EWI 5000

Bežični elektronski duvački instrument / MIDI kontroler sa 13 senzora na dodir i SONiVOX-ovom bibliotekom versatilnih i ekspresivnih zvukova od 3 GB.

Next-generation Electronic Wind Instrument

The Akai Professional EWI5000 builds upon the legacy of Akai’s original Electronic Wind Instrument to give today’s wind players the ultimate in musical expression. The latest entry in Akai Professional’s EWI series of dynamic performance wind instruments, the EWI5000 ups the ante with exciting features that include wireless connectivity, USB-MIDI, and a massive 3GB sound library of acoustic and synth sounds developed by industry-leading sound designer SONiVOX. Experience the next generation in wind performance technology with an instrument designed expressly for the modern player.

Unparalleled expression

For precisely controlling volume and pitch dynamics, the EWI5000 features an ultra-responsive mouthpiece with air pressure level and bite sensors. Eight dedicated precision rotary controls let you easily adjust instrument or effect parameters on the fly — tweaking Filter, Reverb, Chorus, LFO, Breath Amount, Bite Amount, Semitone Tuning, and Fine Tuning for a sound that’s as expressive as your performance.

Multiple finger modes

The EWI5000 extends the performance potential of woodwind and brass players alike. With support for multiple playing styles, its interface can be switched to flute, oboe, and saxophone fingering modes. Especially for brass players, an EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument) mode is also included. Whether you’re a classically trained flutist desiring a modern instrument, or an experienced EWI player seeking additional fingering flexibility, the EWI5000 has you covered.

Performance freedom

Featuring low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, the EWI5000 gives you the freedom to perform with maximum expression. The EWI5000 supports stereo wireless audio and includes a receiver for untethered mobility onstage or in the studio. The EWI5000 also supports wired audio and MIDI connectivity for easy integration with performance and production hardware. And because it’s powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, you can play the EWI5000 wherever you go.

The ideal sounds for any performance

EWI5000 comes loaded with over 3GB of high-quality onboard sounds created by SONiVOX, a leading developer of premium virtual instruments and software synthesis technologies. These instruments span every music genre and put both traditional orchestral sounds such as horns, brass, and woodwinds and nontraditional sounds like synthesizers, basses, and leads right at your fingertips.

Tweak your sounds to perfection

Expand your creative capabilities with the EWI5000 Sound Editor software, a powerful platform for manipulating the EWI5000’s sound library on your Mac or PC. Connect EWI5000 to your computer via USB, call up any instrument from the library, and use the filter, two LFOs, pan knob, tune control, and multiple envelopes to tweak it into something entirely new. You can store your edits directly on your EWI5000 for a customized instrument library that’s ready to rock whenever you are.
