For Sale - We Have A Buy It Now Item! Akai Wind "Synth" Controller & Voice Module Digital / Analog System Model / MPN: EWV2000 / EWI1000 Condition: This item is used. Shows some signs of cosmetic wear from normal use - some very minor scratches, and the rubber mouthpiece has a little tear on the tip (see pics). Includes: EWI-1000 wind controller / Synthesizer / Wind Synth paired with: EWV-2000 a dedicated analog, voltage-controlled voice module2 CablesCleaning clothColored bandsNeck StrapHard Shell Akai Case Description: (via manufacturer) From the mid 1980s, Akai developed a range of wind synths with Nyle Steiner. Their EWI-1000 wind controller and EVI-1000 valve controller, like the Lyricon, were paired with a dedicated analog, voltage-controlled voice module, the EWV-2000. The EWV-2000 had no MIDI IN, though it did have MIDI OUT. The EWI-1000/EWV-2000 pair were actually a hybrid digital/analog system. Analog signals were derived from the various sensors (e.g., key, bite, bend, etc.) on the EWI-1000 controller unit, then converted to digital signals by a front-end microprocessor in the EWV-2000. These digital signals were then altered by the microprocessor and D/A converted to internal analog control voltages appropriate for the analog synthesizer IC's within the EWV-2000. The D/A used within the EWV-2000 used a very high resolution and conversion rate, such that the responsiveness to the player felt immediate, i.e. "analog."The Akai EVI1000, EWI1000, and corresponding EWV2000 synth module form one of the most expressive and versatile musical instruments around. Adding to this expressiveness is a powerful chord feature that gives a horn player the capability to play more than one note at a time; not simply parallel chords but completely different chords for each note of the chromatic scale consisting of up to six different pitches! As you might imagine, there are many unique and powerful musical uses for this feature. The Akai EWV2000 synth module can store a total of 16 chord qualities or chord templates in memory. Notice I say "chord qualities" not "chords" because you're not actually storing a specific chord, such as C major or Db minor, but a quality such as major, minor 7th, #5#9, etc... The quality of a chord is defined by its intervals of deviation from the inputted or "played" note. The assignment of these 16 chord qualities to the twelve chromatic notes can be stored in any of the 64 EWV2000 patch memory locations.An EWV2000 patch can be programmed in one of three ways:Internal synth patch on. Chord feature offChord feature on. Internal synth patch offSynth patch on and Chord feature on See all pictures for what you will receive!
