The Akai EWI is the reference wind-controller. It enables wind players to enjoy the same expressive control as in an acoustic instrument. While EWI USB is easy and fun to use, it is also powerful,flexible, and most importantly reliable enough for use on stage and in the studio by professional musicians. Its USB interface means that all you need is nearly any Mac or PC and the included EWI USB software, and you’re ready to practice, perform, create, and record with a full collection of wind instrument sounds.
