This latest addition to Akai Professional's Electronic Wind Instrument family comes loaded with 200 expertly curated onboard sounds spanning every genre, from luscious evolving synth pads to authentic sultry jazz clarinet tones.
The internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides over 12 hours of uninterrupted play time, while the built-in speaker has been calibrated for natural sound reproduction, freeing performers from cumbersome cables and external amplification. The ultra-responsive mouthpiece features both air-pressure level and bite sensors that precisely control volume and pitch dynamics, creating truly immersive and expressive performances. Seasoned woodwind and brass players will appreciate the familiar fingering modes available at the twist of a dial - flute, oboe, saxophone and EVI configurations ensure no new techniques need to be learned.
Dedicated FX controls add Reverb, Delay and Chorus effects, while comprehensive editing facilities for Pitch, Tuning and Dual LFOs allow musicians to craft their signature sound with precision. Connectivity options cater to every performance scenario, from practice sessions to live performance and studio recording. USB-MIDI connectivity opens up a world of software instruments, the 1/4-inch output connects directly to PA systems, and the 1/8-inch headphone output enables private practice at any hour.
Performance features include octave rollers for instant register changes, a conveniently located glide plate for portamento effects, and an adjustable pitch bend plate for exact expression control. The handy favourites feature allows program edits to be saved and recalled instantly, making the EWI Solo a versatile and convenient instrument that's ready to perform whenever inspiration strikes.
