Great review. Just worried in getting one regarding the they will not support it. No returns and will only send parts if needed, within the 1 year warranty. In your opinion, is it worth it? I'm looking at other lower price instruments, but I want the closest sax sounds I can get. Any suggestion? Thank you.

I just found you channel. Vey informative. Thank you. I have a question. I want to buy a wind midi controller. Actually i have a nice MiDI keyboard. I can play ok on that but i play better on traditional wind instruments similar to Irish instruments also can play sax and flute. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on akai or roland. Which badget MIDI EWI would you recommend me for fast and accurate tracking? Do you thing Vangoa will be ok for my situation? Thanks again

Love the music, the respect to the instrument own nature and the way that is connected to the piano.. Everything is pretty solid and interesting. These instruments have to become more usual for our musical pleasure, but they have to be well played, like this, not only like strange toys from nerdy spheres. Bravo

Hi Stef ! Thanks a lot for your investigations, they are very useful, especially in these times of turbulences on the EWI market. By the way, it seems there's a brand new AP300 "PRO" coming. Do you plan to make a review on it soon ? Thanks again !
@ALAINBRAULIO27 күн бұрын
This would require the company to provide you with a specimen. By the way, living in Belgium (Brussels / Europe) i just tried to buy one (following your appreciation of the AP300 NON-pro) BUT i got a refusal of delivery to this destination. Hope they will enlarge their distribution soon...

Hi Stef, just like @steveg601 your video inspired me to get one of these and I don't regret it - great value at the price! I got it fedexed to Sweden with no extra charge and received it within 10 days. I am a 55 yo sax player who needed some extra inspiration and an instrument to play at 1 am... so it's a little bit of a struggle, not so much getting accustomed to the exact fingerings etc required, but the setting it up with a PC, soft synth etc... because you grow sick of the few half-decent pre-set sounds in no time. So if you want to make a video for dummies showing how to set this up as midi controler with a couple of your recommended soft synths, I believe that will be useful for alot of people, definitely me! thx...

Hello. I wanted to ask because I would like to give myself a gift and buy Ewi solo. I just don't know, because there is also an ewi 5000 version and I'm wondering which one to choose. Is the solo better, has more functions and fingerings than the ewi 5000. What is the difference between both models? Regards.

I bought an EWI USB years ago, but got frustrated and stopped using it after a while because i wasn't satisfied with the factory software and I couldn't find any documentation that could easily walk me through setting it up by myself to work with other synth VSTs. Then I found your videos, and now I am finally having fun with it! thanks so much, I am loving your channel

@Thomas-ws3eoАй бұрын
Stef, could you me a favor and check the following on your AP300. Do the pinkie keys increase or lower the tone by +/- 1/2 step no matter what other keys are pressed? (This is the Akai EWI standard fingering pattern.) For example, if you play (in ST fingering) a G4 (left index finger + left middle finger + left ring finger) and you press in addition the top left pinkie key, do you get a #G4? If you press the bottom left pinkie key, do you get a #F4? In addition, does the same work for top/middle right pinkie keys instead? And further, there also appears to be a key above the right index finger raising by 1/2 step (their manual shows that one as the "official" key for #G4)? Basically, I am trying to determine whether the pinkie keys work as they do at the Akai EWI by being additive to any other key pressed (in the EWI, each key has a value, either -1, -1/2, +1/2, +1, and the values of all keys pressed get added up to give the final tone-albeit there are a handful of exceptions to get standard fingerings). In this question, however, I am just worried about the pinkie keys. Just to clarify another way, do the pinkie keys have the following impact on the tone: Right bottom pinkie -1, Right middle pinkie -1/2, Right top pinkie +1/2, Right above index finger +1/2, Left bottom pinkie -1/2, Left top pinkie +1/2? Can they be added in arbitrary combinations to any other keys and have this impact? Or are only the combinations supported that are shown in the manual for a given fingering?

Thank you. The difference between the less expensive (e.g.) SM 57 and 58 and the more expensive microphones are not close to worth the extra cost., especially playing live. In the studio with the best, of the best, of everything besides a microphone maybe some could hear the difference. I do have to say, my Royer Ribbon microphone sounds good on flute alone in my mediocre studio.

Aerophone AE-20 player here I think the Roland patches sound much more accurate for the natural instruments. Can't really compare the synth patches as they are pretty different between Akai and Roland. I think there is a place for both in performance art though.

i am a keyboard player that also plays a little clarinet, this is very intriging, the price point is very very appealing, its an EWI clone with some minor modern updates for less than half the money, of a Akai 5000, or the aerophone mini. i would just to (eventually) wireless midi it to swam and do some sax parts, where did you buy it?

I've been searching around for answers and at the end of my rope. Thought maybe I'd try asking you. Using Fruity Loops to do the MIDI and Vocoder. The input and getting the vocoder to work aren't the issue. It's delay. I can lower the the buffering, but I start getting pops on every note. Maybe my CPU or general set up isn't up to snuff? Using an EWI 4000s with a midi to usb on a Windows machine. Then just Fruity Loops from there. ASIO drivers or just regular primary sound drivers. Same issues. Maybe a better audio card would help? I'm at my wits end! If you have any ideas let me know since I see you have it working very nicely.

@StefHaynes Have you managed to get in contact with the manufacturer? They have AP300 Pro, and the only feature they have there is updates of the Firmware. But, there is no Firmware anywhere. And they didn't reply on messages.

Developers paid more attention to the sound. UI was just for bare functionality for those who know what they are doing, but definitely for an average person. DynaSample is a small company, they don't have enough resources to create a polished UI.

Too big because it integrates everything in a single instrument. If AKAI didn't have technologies to minimize the sound module part, they could've separated it from EWI part. I feel like AKAI EWI has not evolved much since the 80s.
