Hi vzisolo.

Check out patchman music for useful links. The current EWI is easy to adapt to as it has a very well thought out EVI fingering mode. Good luck !

hi jazzliam.. great vid.

could you make a video how to setup your external synths to get those velocity-switch data in order to bring in chords or explain a little more? i´ve got an ewi usb and some synth like access virus and kawai k5000s. do i need transformers like in cubase or logic? thanks a lot for sharing this.

I'm not familiar with your hardware but in general,assuming you have a multitimbral module. In performance mode assign all voices to same MIDI channel as EWI. Leave one voice to respond to velocity values 0-127 and do not detune. Now detune each of the other voices until you have the chord type you're after. Then, set a lower velocity limit on each detuned voice to about 70 (experiment with this).Set filter to respond to cc2 so you have dynamic control. Make sure EWI is sending VARIABLE velocity

Nord Micro Modular, Kontakt 2, Akai Headrush 2 delay and Digitech JamMan. Choir samples from web (Native Instruments I think). Spanish male vocal from own CD collection.

Many thanks for the comment.

Excellent wind synth work. Please post some more clips of your playing when you have the time again.
