I'm getting really interested =) Is it maybe possible to connect the ewi usb to a synthesizer instead of a computer? And i you're not a "wind-instrument - player" , is it very difficult to learn? thanks in advance.

Haha, I could prolly make a better demo myself, srry man, not convinced. I like the sound of the 4000 better

I haven't gotten my hands on the USB version but I can tell you that from the specs here are the differences.
1. no internal sounds at all
2. only 5 octaves as opposed to 7 on the 4000s
3. Cannot be played without a computer.

Also, the demo sounds I've heard for the USB version don't seem to be especially made for the EWI. They don't make great use of breath control for volume and vibrato. Hopefully they have programmed more patches that use BC. For my money the 4000s is superior.

wow.....sounds like shit.

If I was the people at Akai I would have made sure this video never saw the light of day.
