curious if the EWI or NuRad can be set up to "transpose" from bass to treble clef. In other words, if i want to play cello music but don't want to have to transpose to treble from bass clef. ty
@ewi_den 3 күн бұрын
Yes, here is the hack. A clef trick plus an EWI transposition. Let's say the Cello music is in C Major. Read the bass clef as if it's treble clef and play in the key of A Major. Set you EWI transposition for Eb. The treble clef key you play in will always be a Minor Third down from the bass clef written key. G = E / F = D / Ab = F

I am thinking of getting an EWI USB. Are you using iReal in this video? I'm totally new to this whole thing. How would I wire up an EWI USB to use it with iReal and listen back with headphones? That would be my typical use case. Thanks in advnace for you help!

Sorry for the delay. Been on vacation, and stepped away for a week. I use irealpro everyday, all day. Yes, you could MIdi your EWI into your computer and play along with Ireal. You could also record yourself with a DAW (garageband or Audacity, both are free) It's been a while since I've worked with an AKIA USB, but if you get into any snags, give me a shout.

This is amazing.... Thank you very much. I just received my new Ewi 5000. The quick start, very briefly mentioning installing the battery. But I found a to me, unknown battery included with 3 wires coming out of a plastic shielding. What am I supposed to do with this, cannot find any info on the internet. Kind regards, robert glotzbach
@ewi_den Ай бұрын
I'm not certain I understand the question entirely. But here goes: Are the 3 wires running to a small connector? If Yes, There is a place in the battery compartment with the other side of that connector. Plug them together and then place and close the battery inside the battery compartment. It is a Lithium Battery. That should do it.
@RobertGlotzbach Ай бұрын
@@ewi_den Thanks a lot for answering. :-) The point was that there were 3 wires but no connector for them. I later discovered a small connector in the remains of the plastic wrapping. The battery was so tidily wrapped in very thick plastic and tape, that I had no choice but to take a pair of scissor's and cut it open.... thus cutting the connector from the wires. I soldered them on again and now all is good. Will now go through all of your lessons, un-paided and paid. Thank you for this series, it's an incredible help!

2 questions. Can we do all 12 scales without the transpose key? Is there a fingering more akin to clarinet?
@ewi_den Жыл бұрын
I don't understand the question completely. So, if I don't answer exactly what you asking. Please ask again. 1. There is a transposition feature in the EWI programming where you can set the key for it's transposition. Examples: Concert Key, Eb like Alto Sax, Bb like clarinet. And Yes, you can set it for any key. However, you can't change the setting while playing. 2. some fingerings are the same as Clarinet, and most of the upper octave is exactly the same. Inside the EWI DEN are some documents entitled "Home Fingerings," and one of them is the "Home Fingerings for Clarinet." It will illustrate the fingering common with the clarinet when the EWI set to EWI STANDARD FINGERINGS. I hope this was helpful.

Why the circle of 4ths 🤔
@ewi_den Жыл бұрын
That is a great question! I'll do a video about it. The answer is important and a bit lengthy. The short answer is that Keys and chord roots moving in fourths are Western music's most common harmonic movement. If we practice our scales in the circle of fourths, we are getting prepared for that movement. Example: D-7 / / / G7 / / / C∆7 / / / | / / / /|| This is a 2 5 1 the most common chord progression in Jazz Standards. Notice the Roots are in 4ths D - G - C. Hope that is helpful!

It means the air doesn’t flow through the instrument. It still operates on air pressure blown into the instrument. Important technique is to leak air on the sides of your embouchure to facilitate the response of tonguing. It’s is a great system, and becomes comfortable quickly.

@ewi_den Жыл бұрын
CV = Control Voltage - used to control synths. CV indicates which note (event) to play: a different voltage for each key pressed; those voltages are typically connected to one or more oscillators, thus producing the required pitches. Such a method implies that the synthesizer is monophonic. LiPO is a Lithium Battery. The Ball Bearing Canister is a smooth octave mechanism for the NuEVI.

I had an EWI5000 before had an EWI1000, then EWI3000. It does suprised me that closed system on 1000 is much more responsive and expressive than open system once you get used to it! EWI modules actually had the chord rotator before 4000s btw, including 1000, though it can only be used when controlling via midi not internal sound, only if you get a very rare and expensive combo with AKAI AX600 (a keyboard synth with an EWI1000 controller jack), the midi rotator gets easier to program and could be used for internal sound. One thing I realy loved a lot on modules before 4000s is the external input, a genius design that never showed in any other windsynths. It's a shame that AKAI didn't keep those wonderful features and turned into cheesy sampled sound and lagy bluetooth on newer modules😢 NuRad defintely is much better on performance, but 1000 and 3000 still have the most special EWI sound to me.

I received my NURAD about 3 weeks ago and because I've had my EWI-USB and EWI-4000s using Bite CC2 for vibrato, so I tried to use the NURAD the same way. However with both the samplemodeling and the SWAM I fail to get any CC2 output, hence no vibrato. I've gone over the settings and I'm sure that I have the vibrato set correctly to Bite etc. My EWI's work fine doing Bite CC2 vibrato. Nor can I use the left hand Thumb lever to get CC2 sent out, although I can just hear a bit of vibrato, even though I do not see any of the dials (samplemodeling & SWAM) showing input. When using Kontakt I can see the Mod Wheel icon moving. Today I discovered that I can get some vibrato by setting the NURAD Bite to Aftertouch. Things sound much better but I have no clear control over it. So, my question for you is: Do you have any suggestions for fixing the Bite/ Thumb Lever CC2 issue? Am I missing something ? Does your NURAD produce proper CC2 messages? Unfortunately, Larry Nybo has not replied to any of my e-mail in over 2 weeks, which is very disappointing, and reflects very poorly on his company. I was very happy with your NURAD video tutorial. It's so much more helpful than simply reading the manual.
