The Akai EWI USB is an easy-to-play electronic wind instrument that’s versatile for the professional, yet simple enough for the beginner. Akai Professional’s decades of experience in wind and electronic music instruments are rolled into our most user friendly and most affordable EWI ever.
Premium Pedigree
|
Akai Professional is the first name in electronic wind instruments. For over 20 years, Akai Professional has studied the art of playing
saxophone, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and other traditional winds,
and developed electronic wind instruments that enable wind players
to enjoy the same expressive control as in an acoustic instrument.
We designed EWI USB to give wind players the expressive musical
capabilities previously found only in much more expensive instruments.

Computer Control
EWI USB is the most flexible EWI because it harnesses your computer to generate its sounds. Its USB interface means that all you need is nearly any Mac or PC and the included EWI USB software, and you’re ready to practice, perform, create, and record with a full collection of wind instrument sounds. Aria Player software was produced specifically for use with EWI USB, providing wind players with an unprecedented level of expressive control.
Large Sound Palette

Multimode
EWI USB offers multiple fingering modes including sax, traditional EWI, flute, oboe, and EVI (brass), so whether you’re just starting out as a woodwind student or an old pro wind player, you’ll find EWI USB easy to play. EWI USB is designed for you to spend your time playing music; not learning technology.
Surprising Affordability
Historically, electronic wind instruments have fallen into two different categories: high-end, professional instruments and toys.
