Site dedicated to EWI (Akai, Roland, Yamaha and others)
If you are an EWI 4000S owner, you probably have outgrown the factory presets. And perhaps you already own or know about Patchman’s great presets. So now what? You could design your own patches using the Akai editor. Or you could grab some interesting patches with EWITool2’s patch exchange. There is now another option for…

Hi Guys! Happy to be part of this Community. Any feedback from you that have played the instrument already? I have played 4000s now for 4 years and thanks to Patchman I have enjoyed every minute of it. Are the patches – sounds -as good on the 5000s as the ad says? What say you?
