Also, one need sto get used not to touch the side keys accidentally.įor these reasons, even if the instrument is very light, using the provided neck strap is quite necessary to avoid straning. However, because of the way the ewi fingering works, there are sometimes ways around that, just, not with a conventional woodwind fingering. The keys are touch sensitive, so you cannot rest your fingers on them like you would on a sax. A main difficulty with the instrument is that the octave rollers is tricky to operate when moving between octaves. The fingering can be set to be somewhat similar to a sax, but it certainly does not feel the same and honestly there are millions of fingering combiantions which would not work on a sax and are very useful on this instrument. It is not a relacement for a saxophone, or a way to practise saxophone embochure. Given there are several recurring questions about this online, here is my take: The only thing I miss from the more expensive options are an additional expression control, which would come useful, and perhaps the various toggles to change sensitivity and so forth. I was uncertain about getting this or the more expensive models which allow for playing without a computer and have direct midi ports.

I use it on Windows 10 with Reaper, and I strongly suggest downloading a free program called EwiUSB, which allows to change all parameters and a free virtual midi interface such as LoopMIDI, which is required to use EwiUSB. They can be tweaked, but compared to expensive sound banks and models, like SampleModeling and similar, there is simply no comparison. Some technical skills are required though to have it all run smoothly and the sound banks which come with it are not great. It is a very good instrument, and I would highlight "instrument", in the sense that it does require practise to get good, but it does reward a musician with good expressivity.
