AKAI Professional EWI 3000M Sound Module Synthesizer w/ EWI 3000 Electronic Wind Instrument*Rare Synth for sale! Act now, BID!*The EWI 3000M that is listed here powers up but I have a difficult time getting the right sound out of it to completely guarantee that it works. According to the service manual this irregularity may be due to a faulty internal battery which can be replaced. My experience with synthesizers rests mostly with keyboards, but as far as functioning, the synthesizer registers "breath" from the connected wind instrument when I push the "monitor" button to test it. Cosmetically it looks great for its age (Manufactured in 1992). None of the buttons stick, and the knobs turn freely and register accordingly. Once again, the EWI 3000M synthesizer powers up, registers all inputs from the module and the wind instrument. The internal battery requires replacement in order to save presets to the module.You will receive the following items in this auction:* AKAI Professional EWI 3000m Sound Module ** AKAI EWI 3000 Electronic Wind Instrument w/ cable*
*AKAI Professional official AC Adapter*
*Akai Professional EWI Carry Case
