Site dedicated to EWI (Akai, Roland, Yamaha and others)
Want to get a EWI but don’t want to spend $700 or so? Check this out. MiniWI woodwind MIDI controller is a Hackaday.io project for those who are fairly comfortable working with electronics and love to take on DYI projects. This looks really really cool, and I might try to make one soon…..after that arduino…
Roland has introduced a new Digital Wind Instrument. Awesome! All the saxophone sounds you need in one instrument Nothing beats the sound of your favorite acoustic sax, but sometimes its tone might not be quite right for the job at hand. Whatever scenario you’re playing in, the Roland Aerophone AE-10 has the onboard digital sax…

A couple of months ago, Stephen Merrony, the creator of the free EWI4000s patch editor announced he was going to rewrite the thing in Java. While still not idea, Java is worlds better than whatever it was written in (QT?). Now he is looking for people to test out a beta of it. If you…
This is pretty interesting

About 6 months ago, there was an Indiegogo drive for a Wireless Midi interface. It got funded in June.
“Let your old but good digital piano shine again by connecting your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth wireless MIDI interface.”
Basically, it takes the voltage that is being transmitted on the midi ports and uses that to convert it to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Which means this little $45 thing you plug in will allow you to talk to your iPad, iPhone, Mac or anything that supports Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth 4).
So, how does this work with an EWI?
