Chameleon on EWI + Looper

I recorded this version of Chameleon using an Akai EWI 4000s, modified Yamaha VL-70m synth and Boss RC-50 loopstation. The loops are all recorded live except for the drums.

Wow! What scales is he using?

[wergythu]

Some combination of blues, dorian, and bebop with some sideslipping and diminshed here and there, i think.

How did you make those arpeggios at 4:29 and forward? Please reply!

[wergythu]

I'm just playing several octaves of c major triads and then c minor triads really fast, which is nothing but practice :) The rest is just a bit of pitchbend along the way and the vl-70m synth's india flute patch, which changes in tone as you blow harder and alter articulation.

Would pay for a tablature download.

I absolutely agree with yves159 comments! It was your video that made me decide I had to buy the EWI 4000S for myself, not any advertisement they had anywhere else. You should get paid. Btw, I would gladly for a download of the tablature in the saxophone fingering for this piece. I would bet others would too. You rock,

[grapemastersaxe]

wow

[JetScreamerJr]

TIGHT!

Dude, you should make money of this. Contact Akai. Let them know that you know that your video is AWESOME and ask for payment for this advertising that they now get for free. Make clear that you'll take the video down if there's no win/win situation. No doubt they'll pay you something! I'm sure this video will convince people to buy the instrument. Think about it ... Capitalistic, i know

@TheHiatusa you can hook it directly to a pa system a bass amp or a keyboard amp if you plug it into a guitar amp you will blow out the amp because the guitar amp is not made for low notes. You can just plug it in to the amps compatible as I mentioned and it will work because the 4000s has a midi sounds built in you can also hook it up to any synthesizer and use its built in sounds.

fat with a capital fat

Hey man, love this stuff sounds wicked. Just a quick question; Can you plug the ewi 4000 straight into a guitar amp or do you need a computer?

Interested in buying one and want to get out and play some stuff but considering if I will be able to with just guitar amp?

Thanks - keep up the good music man!
