Robkoo R1 Preorders Begin
Seems like the Robkoo R1, which I first heard about back in July, is now accepting preorders. Not a bad price point. Will be interesting to see this out and about. Pretty good intro video here

New Electrowinds Presets for FREE iOS Synthesizers
Stef does some wild things on his YouTube channel. And now he’s come out some free patches for some free iOS synth apps. Very cool stuff. Check him out.
Robkoo Wind Synthesizer R1
I really love this. For years, there were basically two choices for Wind Controllers. Either ones from Akai or Yamaha. Then Roland entered the space, then controllers like the NuRAD. Now, another contestant has entered the arena….the Robkoo Wind Synthesizer. It has some very interesting design choices, including a horizontal orientation. Like….that’s cool. All kinds…
EWI vs Guitar (T-Square)
EDDIE EWI + NURAD = AWESOME
One of my favorite YouTube channels, and a guy who’s really doing cool stuff with EWIs, just got one of the Berglund NuRADs. Check it out.
Wireless Transmitters For EWI

The Lekato is currently about $50 on Amazon. It works really well…..except…..when it doesn’t. Let me explain. I’ve used it a couple…

Roland Aerophone Pro V2.0
Roland is not sitting on it’s butt. It is really moving forward with making the Aerophone Pro THE new standard in Wind Controller. They just released firmware 2.0 for it, and it takes things to another level. We now can finally get new sounds, patches, and even draw from a bunch of things from the…
Review – Koldot Digital Wind Instrument Holder
Having a stand for your EWI is a good thing. For a while, I had a modified guitar stand for my EWI4000s I was using. I even had a little basket thing I 3D printed for it affixed to the stand. It was hacky, and not very portable. Fast forward to post COVID in California,…

Aerophone Pro Editor (iOS)
As of today, 4/27/21, Roland updated their editor app for iOS to include a “librarian” section where you can import “Scenes” (ie patches) from an Aerophone, a File, or the “Cloud”. The “Cloud” option brings you to the Files app on iOS, where you can go to iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google, or other “Cloud” storage….
