To my ear, the simpler ones tend to work best on a wind controller. There’s a lot of whacky synth patches out there. Part of the attraction is that these Magellan patches are relatively simple. Wouldn’t work very well for performance, in that case. is draining my battery faster than other synths. For one thing, it sounds like Magellan Jr. Could probably learn to reproduce them in other synths, to give me some flexibility. Really, most of these are among my favourites, now. Played more with these Magellan patches to compare with other of my iOS synths. After all, people pick up the sax much more quickly than the piano or violin. Maybe that stuff only comes later and you’ll be able to do what you want to do after a short amount of it. It’ll be interesting to hear how easy it’ll be for you to learn the sax afterwards because there’s a fair bit of stuff happening in the mouth when we play sax which doesn’t need to happen on the EWI. At the same time, each instrument has its quirks. Since you don’t have to worry about playing in pitch or, as you say, producing the sound you want to produce, the EWI is probably easier to learn. (Haven’t tried the EWI itself but it’s fairly similar to my WX-11, in these respects.) The fingerings are pretty much the same and the tongue technique is rather similar. But it’s a little bit funny.Īnd maybe playing the EWI will indeed give you a headstart on the saxophone. I'd love to hear more EWI sounds and said:Īlthough maybe this kind of statement may sound to sax players like somebody expecting to learn to play guitar by playing Guitar Hero to a guitarist To close, it would be great if other EWI players here could use this thread to link to some examples of their EWI playing. I suspect that apps like Studiomux can do the same thing though.

It would automatically route CC#2 to CC#7 thus making it possible to play, for example, instruments in the SampleTank app without first having to connect the EWI - USB to a PC in order to change CC message controlled by the breath sensor.
Akai ewi usb soundbank 64 Bit#
One thing I miss with the jump to 64 bit ios is the leaving behind of the free FreEWI app that worked in tandem with the MidiBridge app. Here's an example of what I eventually could achieve with the Reaper tremelo plugin together with the soprano sax sound that came with the Garritan sound pack that came with the EWI - USB.Ĭoncerning good ios sounds for the EWI, here is a free pack of Magellan patches (and a demo by the guy who made them) that I found on the internet. The Reaper plugin, on the otherhand, immediately resets to 0 when the bite sensor is released and therefore doesn't affect the overall volume in between blowing into the mouthpiece. It has midi learn so that I could set the EWI - USB's bite sensor to control the tremelo start and stop and amount, but, like some of the free PC VSTs that I'd experimented with beforehand, the Holderness app would leave the tremelo and hence overall volume at the level it was when the bite sensor was last released, thereby causing jumps in different volume levels as the EWI was played. The Holderness Media tremelo app called Johnny almost worked. I tried to repeat the process on ios, but wasn't successful. I experimented with several free tremelo and vibrato plugins and ended up using the tremelo plugin that comes with Reaper to fake a growl sound. The Garritan sound pack is alright, but what I always missed was a "growl" effect. Previously I'd made do with free VSTs and the Garritan sound pack that came with the purchase of the EWI -USB.
Akai ewi usb soundbank license#
Last summer I finally had some money I could use to invest in some Sample Modeling instruments and other paid VSTs (as well as finally purchase a license for Reaper!). What a revelation! Ha ha.Īs for sounds and such, I whole-heartedly agree with the others here who have recommended the Sample Modeling VSTs. It took me alost a year after I'd got my first iPad to realize that the USB hub, which connected inbetween the CCK and the EWI (as a previous commenter explained), didn't have to be plugged in for power. I still don't get to play it nearly as often as I'd like to, but considering that I can't play my alto sax anymore, playing the EWI at least once a week is a godsend. I got an EWI - USB five or so years ago while trying to find an instrument that was easier on my carpal-tunnel damaged wrists and hands. Great to see that there are some EWI players here on the forum.
