Here is a review on a fan EWI website that resumes what I couldn't about the default software.
#AKAI EWI USB SOFTWARE SOFTWARE#
The instrument bank and the sounds that comes with the default software are doing the job but they could be better. You can also use any device recognized as an "audio output" by Windows. You will need an amplifier that can accept an audio jack input if you want something louder. Otherwise the sound comes from whatever speakers you have plugged into the computer. It's easy to setup in Windows and you indeed just need to plug in headphones to the computer. I would want to play through a standard windows laptop running whatever software would work well with the instrument. It's Aria Player with sounds from Garritan. The EWI USB comes with its own software by default. Is there a good way to get away from the stock sounds and find something more unique that doesn't try to emulate typical instruments? Thank you so much for reading and for your input!Įdit: Bonus question: What does the sound library look like? I read that you could apply almost any sound via other programs. Would the USB be a good candidate for that type of usage? If so, what will I need in terms of software to fit my needs? I'm looking for something that I can play without disturbing other people around me (plug into laptop and use headphones?) and something I could use to sit down and jam with some friends (typical rock instrumentation, so projection is preferred.

I know next to nothing about software, so any tips regarding that would be a huge help. Some background: I'm a woodwind player so I am familiar with the sound production and fingerings of the EWI. I'm very curious about the Akai EWI USB and wanted to get some more info on it before considering purchasing one.
