The EWV-2000 sound module is required to play an EWI1000 or EVI1000.  It is a programmable analog synthesizer with 2 VCO's, 3 Filters, 2 Envelope Generators and 2 VCA's. It can perform as two parallel synthesizers with two different sounds or as a single complex synthesizer. Breath and lip pressure can control vibrato, pulse width, modulation, filter modulation and volume. The three different filters allow the creation of resonant formants for simulations of cups, mutes, strings and plungers. 

Like all the EWI modules the EWV2000 features an External Input that allows other instruments to be processed through the EWV2000. Other features include wave envelope FM, 64 user programmable memories, and a 16 character backlit LCD. Additionally, the EWV-2000 is equipped with a MIDI out jack. It does not have MIDI in.  Patches (all patch data/single voices) can be saved via analog cassette. The module is a 4U rack-mountable module or can sit on a flat surface as it is not very deep.
