The Akai Professional EWI4000S is a giant leap in the evolution of wind instruments. At the heart of the EWI4000S is its built–in sound module. A first in the industry, this module lets musicians plug a wireless MIDI or audio set up into the base of the EWI, and move freely around the stage without being tethered by wires.

Main Features:

• Electronic Valve Instrument (EVI) fingering mode for brass players

• Touch sensitive keys and octave roller for quick and responsive playing

• Sensitive breath sensor for expressive dynamics

• Built–in analog modeling synth sound module

• Built–in MIDI output for use with sound modules

• PC and Mac Editor software for customizing, storing and instantly recalling internal sounds

• Lightweight and portable design with battery power

At Akai Professional, we understand that artists want to concentrate on creating and performing music, not manipulating buttons, so we've made the breath, vibrato, glide time, and bend width controls easily accessible and totally adjustable. Plus, the included software lets both Windows and Mac users edit, customize, store and recall sounds with their computer. With incredible versatility, ultimate mobility and unparalleled sound, the EWI4000S puts the high tech musical revolution at your fingertips.
