EWI-3000

Made in 1992
The EWI3000 and EWI3000m is the
new expressive wind controller system
that will leave you with a new
impression of what expressive
electronic music can sound like. This
cost-effective new instrument features
the same quality and expressiveness as
the popular EWI1000 and EWV2000
at a fraction of the cost. The EWI3000
and EWI3000m will let you play musical lines and phrases that cannot be played on
keyboards or other controllers. The control section of the EWI has been refined to
allow even greater expression with smoother tonguing just as on a real instrument.
The EWI provides the true authentic feel of a wind instrument yet you can also play
chords with it! By programming chord patterns and using external sound modules
you can play up to four voices.
