Wind Machine Instrument For Sale

[11] I must admit, the first time I unboxed the instrument, I was amazed at the build quality. It has some heft, the keys are properly and ergonomically placed and you know Akai really took their time to perfect this wind controller. But as a long time saxophone player, the first time I actually played some scales, I was quite disappointed - it didn't feel like a saxophone. I was beginning to regret my purchase and thought about exchanging it for the WX5. So I gave it a few more days. Days turned to weeks, and I am beginning to appreciate this instrument. Keep practicing those scales, breathing with the mouthpiece and you realize how this is such an amazing wind controller. I made a mistake thinking that this is a replacement for a saxophone in an apartment situation. In reality, you should think about how this instrument can be an extension to your musical endeavors. The possibilities you can do with the sounds and playability are endless. There are a few usable synths prebuilt, but I suggest using the Akai EWI 5000 Editor to really play and edit your sounds then save it to the user bank. Also there are synths out there that can be used if you plug the EWI as just a midi wind controller; unfortunately you can't upload other synth sounds into the controller. Definitely give it some time to get used to the instrument especially moving from one octave to another. Keep practicing and you'll appreciate that there's hardly any moving parts here. I was opposed at it first since horns have that tactile and key feedback. But with the touch sensitivity, it really felt I was playing an instrument from the future. Again, you just have to get used to it - think about when mobile phones shift from physical keyboards to the modern phones we have today. And here I am today still keeping my purchase and writing a review. I thank Akai for making a top-notch wind controller and continuing the support for the modern electronic wind musician.

[Orange / Green] I have wanted one of these for years and with the B&H sale price I just had to buy it. Great for testing instrument and microphone cables as well as several other common types

[1500 GB] It's a great sounding drum machine for this price point. Initially I was second guessing if 6 instrument slots would be enough vs buying the more expensive TR-8s with 11 instrument slots but it hasn't been an issue since you can sub the slots out for other instruments. Stock patterns are good starting points. Effects are excellent. Don't forget there's software for it if needing to program much more elaborate patterns. Good feel on the buttons and faders. Slight learning curve but there's a free online course when you register the device with Roland. Overall very happy with this little thing.

[Yes] I have rarely seen an instrument like this. you can create whatever you want with this drum machine. excellent product. easy to use and really good sound. I use it along with a synth and sound is perfect. the amount of possibilities you have is almost endless impossible to find everything inside this little box fantastic. I recommend it especially to create music.

[5/8" Stud] I bought it for using with a big Wind Machine and I'm really happy! Being WM really heavy - approx 11Kg - I was in need of a sturdy and large based stand and it works fine. Wheels action is really smooth also on my Studio's hardwood floor and they doesn't leave any sign on it. A plus is you can fold legs after use and that help saving space in the spare room. If you need to arrange your fan to higher level, I suggest to buy also the Manfrotto 142 cs steel extension pole. All in all the whole sistem is a bit pricey but is the best for using with heavy and expensive gear

[Foam] Wind bad, this good. Keep wind out.
