Wind Machine Musical Instrument

[0.235 lb] A well made musical instrument cable for light duty use at a very reasonable price point. Cable is very supple and well made from both a mechanical and electrical perspective. Wire and braid are soldered to the connector, not crimped, I like that. Shielding from electrical noise and interference (radiated susceptibility) seems adequate for my use. Cable microphonics do not seem to be a problem with this musical instrument cable.

[Gray] This is a great case. I've had good experiences with SKB in the past for musical instrument cases, and this is no different. I have 2 Sony a7iii camera bodies and an assortment of lenses in here, and it all fits nicely. The lid organizer is a nice addition too.

[0.48 lb] I needed a power supply for a musical-instrument device that I bought used. This power supply met all the technical requirements (and its price was much lower than elsewhere), except that its plug had an incorrect center-pin diameter (I wish the listings for such devices included that spec; they seldom do). Luckily I had a power supply with the right plug that I don't need; I spliced that power supply's cable onto this one since I have the necessary tools and skills. It's now doing the job!

[Camera] I have been using the 15-key Stream Deck which works great, but I'm now learning a new musical instrument via online video tutorials and I needed a way to do mouse clicks without removing my hands from the instrument. The Elgato foot pedal works perfectly for this using the SuperMacro plug-in in the Stream Deck software.

[0.405 lb] I used to work in musical instrument & pro audio retail and I hate to pay retail for cables, but I also realize the value of having good cables where data and audio transfer are critical. I bought these cables for all of my camera tethering and for data communication with one of my synthesizers to communicate with my computers. Im very pleased with the construction and performance & I also like the bright orange so these cables stand out from my other data cables.

[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.

[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.
