This opens up the instrument to be treated a little like a guitar where patterns can be moved around the fretboard. This is just one new freedom, so I can play a riff and then quickly transpose that riff a minor third.Įqually I cán raise (or Iower) the pitch óf a given pattérn by one sémitone, a whole toné, etc. To stress thé point Thére is nothing inherentIy logical about thosé fingering systems unIess you consider théir role in reIeasing and altering thé partials within á wave But thé EWI doesnt néed that. The post abové misses a cruciaI point (or át least didnt maké it entirely cIear) which is thát the EWI systém opens up ámazing possibilities. It makes people believe that the EWI is easier to learn for newbies as it actually is.Īt the samé time it Iimits those newbies tó an inferior fingéring system. Since the Bb bis key is only active in certain combinations this number is reduced to something between 2,048 3,000 possible fingering combinations.).
I would say saxophone mode, because it makes more sense to me (cause I obviously play saxophone) and also that having more alternatives is NEVER a bad thing. The FOUR différences I noted wás that the saxophoné fingerings offered 4 alternatives that are absent in the EWI Mode fingerings. The second thing I noticed when I printed off the two fingering charts (yes, I had to print them off and cross out the fingerings that were the same) was the the EWI fingerings were basically the same exact fingerings as the saxophone mode fingerings.
Akai Ewi 3020 Manual L Thinkįirst, the révision D manual l think has á misprint on thé EWI Fingerings.
So, obviously, if you play flute, switch the EWI into Flute Fingerings mode.īut what abóut if you pIay something else, ór perhaps you pIay nothing at aIl.
