The EWI and Michael Brecker

[@danball4410]

It's a privilege to hear EWI Pioneer Michael Brecker, who along with Nyle Steiner is responsible for so much of the growth of the EWI. But there is so much improvement that can be done, and EWI should absolutely be the wind instrument of choice in the future. Hopefully the traction in musicians will grow once the gear gets refined.

Thank you for uploading this!

Oh wow! Vocal samples are awesome!

[@hellocousteau6771]

This guy set the bar for wind instruments so high I wonder if anyone in the future will ever get there.

[@michelesacco1]

Can anyone tell me what program Brecker uses to play the jazz scat patch (Roland) that you hear in this video from 2:56 with the EWI. what programs do you use?

[@THEARTOFWINDSYNTH]

Unfortunately, I have no idea, I have a similar one, but a version for NI Kontakt.

[@michelesacco1]

Thank you . thank you , is possible to know the name of this patch and where is the software where i can find this patch ?

Did he say Akai might be making a new version? I hope that is true. I play the EWI4000s which has several features better than the newer EWI5000. The biggest disappointment with the 5000 is the fake acoustic sounds and some battery struggles. The Roland Aerophones sound too clunky - there is a big difference in transition between notes with the Akai being so much better. I hope Akai takes the 4000s synth version and adds the wireless features, adds some expression enhancements and makes a truly improved EWI. I also wish they improved the air flow. I drilled out my orifice years ago and it is a fantastic upgrade. I have wanted to buy an EWI for a fellow musician and for my niece, but I it takes too much tweaking to get good results. I'll buy them if they make it better.

This was filmed in 2004, three years before Michael Brecker passed away. The version AKAI made was released after that. So that was the EWI 5000.

[@ewi4000]

AKAI won't be in the EWI business I expect. But Berglund Instruments is. Johan makes almost this exact EWI Michael Brecker plays here, plus many extra's. No internal sounds, but a great controller for VST and analog synths

[@camelCased]

Sounds reasonably logical :)

[@rjones1357]

Akai has released the EWI Solo August 2020.

👌👌👌 btw what did he use as rotation plugin?

[@THEARTOFWINDSYNTH]

I don't know 🙃

[@albertob.932]

Him and George Whitty programmed an insane Logic Midi Environment with a ton of possibilities all controlled by the EWI. He didn't use any particular Plugin. Just Logic midi environment and excellent engineering.

[@michelesacco1]

e' possibile che nessuno sappia dirmi che programmi sta usando Brecker sul Lap Top e i suoni campionati che fa ascoltare dove posso trovarli ? non posso credere che nessuno sappia rispondere a questa semplice domanda !

[@nbenyair]

How is he holding the chords?
