The Akai EWI1000 (Electronic
Wind Instrument) and EVI1000 (Electronic Valve Instrument) were the first
wind controllers available from Akai. They are based on the
inventions of Nyle Steiner. Features include a seven octave range,
touch sensitive keys (no moving parts), breath sensor in the mouthpiece to
control of dynamics and timbre. Biting the lip sensor in the EVI controls
the amount of glide while glide on the EWI is controlled by a touch
sensitive glide sensor located under the right thumb. Lip sensor pressure
on the EWI controls vibrato and modulation and a vibrato lever has the
same effect on the EVI. Both instruments have special touch sensors
control allowing the player to bend note up or down.
