■AKAI「EWI SOLO」

Introducing the first wind synthesizer model with built-in speaker in the popular EWI series. In addition to output to external speakers, headphones, and audio interface, you can also play software sound sources via USB-MIDI connection. The built-in battery runs for up to 12 hours, so you can play live, practice and record anytime, anywhere. Many people have heard the sounds of the the EWI timbre, which has been evolving since the 1980s, in the melody of "TRUTH", the F1 Grand Prix theme played by T-SQUARE, and the original "Takarajima", which has been arranged by many brass bands. Not only synth-like sound sources, but also 200 kinds of PCM sound sources, which is the largest in the series such as orchestral and folk instruments, are included. You can also change the volume and timbre using reverb, delay, chorus, and other effects, and the breathing power and the mouthpiece. In addition to simple fingering like a recorder, you can also select flute, oboe, saxophone, and EVI fingering (compliant with the piston playing method of brass instruments) with the dial of the main unit. Please try it out as part of your new music life with COVID-19.
