Performance freedom
With 2.4GHz low-latency wireless connectivity, EWI5000 empowers you to perform freely with a dynamic instrument. It supports stereo wireless audio and includes a receiver for instant mobility on the stage or in the studio. EWI5000 also supports wired audio and MIDI connections for integrating with additional external performance and production hardware. Plus, it's powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, so you can take EWI5000 with you and play it anywhere.
Unparalleled expression
For precisely controlling volume and pitch dynamics, EWI5000 features an ultra-responsive mouthpiece with an air pressure level sensor and bite sensor. In addition, eight dedicated precision dials allow you to adjust instrument or effect parameters on the fly: tweak the filter, reverb, chorus, LFO, breath amount, bite amount, semitone tuning and fine tuning for a sound that's as expressive as your playing.
Multiple finger modes
EWI5000 is a powerful instrument that expands the performance capabilities of woodwind and brass musicians alike. With support for multiple playing styles, its interface can be switched to flute, oboe or saxophone fingering modes. An EVI (electronic valve instrument) mode is also included for brass players. Whether you're a classically trained flutist looking for a modern instrument or a seasoned EWI player looking for finger-position flexibility, EWI5000 has you covered.
Hook it up
USB-MIDI connectivity and a 5-pin MIDI output enable you to expand your sonic palette by controlling software synths, virtual samplers or traditional MIDI modules. EWI5000 comes with a built-in 1/4" output for connecting it directly to PA systems and a 1/8" headphone output for practicing privately. A USB cable and wall adapter are included to recharge battery power via USB or wall power.
Any sound for any performance
EWI5000 comes loaded with more than 3GB of built-in high-quality sounds designed by SONiVOX, a leading creator of premium virtual instruments and software synthesis technologies. These instruments span just about every music genre and put traditional orchestral sounds (e.g., horn, brass and woodwind) and non-traditional sounds (e.g., progressive synths, basses and leads) at your fingertips.
EWI5000 Sound Editor
Expand your creative capabilities with EWI5000 Sound Editor software. This custom software editor is a powerful platform for manipulating EWI5000's sound library on your Mac or PC. Connect EWI5000 to your computer via USB, call up any instrument from the library and use the filter, two LFOs, pan knob, tune control and multiple envelopes to tweak it into something entirely new. Then store your edits directly on your EWI5000 for a customized instrument library that's ready to perform whenever you are.
