Use your computer and this electronic wind instrument for unprecedented control over your sound.
The Akai Professional EWI USB electronic wind controller is for musicians seeking an easy-to-play, easy-to-use
instrument. Akai Professional's decades of experience in wind and electronic musical instruments are rolled into Akai's most
user-friendly—and most affordable—EWI controller ever.
Premium Akai Pedigree
For over 20 years, Akai Professional has studied the art of playing saxophone, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and other traditional
wind instruments and developed electronic wind instruments that enable wind players to enjoy the same expressive control as
in an acoustic instrument. Akai Professional designed the EWI USB to give wind players the expressive musical capabilities
previously found only in much more expensive instruments.
Akai Professional Performance
EWIs are the only choice for serious wind players looking to make music electronically. While EWI USB is easy and fun to use,
it's also powerful, flexible, and—most importantly—reliable enough for use on stage and in the studio by professional
musicians.
Computer Control
The Akai EWI USB controller is extremely flexible because it harnesses your computer to generate its sounds. 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. Aria Player software was produced specifically for use
with EWI USB, providing wind players with an unprecedented level of expressive control.
