Its air-pressure level sensor, bite sensor, touch-sensitive note keys, octave rollers, and pitch-bend plates allow expressive control that feels natural to wind players while opening the door to modern electronic sound design.
3GB SONiVOX Sound Library
Loaded with 3GB of acoustic and synth sounds developed by SONiVOX, the EWI5000 gives performers a broad sonic palette for many styles.

This flexibility makes it useful both as a standalone sound instrument and as a performance controller.
