It can be played in much the same way as woodwind instruments such as saxophones and clarinets.
Special sensors react to the strength of your mouthpiece and the strength of your breath, allowing for subtle control of pitch, tone quality, and volume, fully conveying the player's expressive potential.
It is equipped with a touch plate that allows you to easily achieve pitch bend and glide effects, and an octave roller that allows you to shift across an eight-octave range.
The touch-sensitive keys allow for quick playing that is not possible with mechanical keys.
In addition to the built-in sound source, it also has built-in effects such as reverb and delay, so you can start playing immediately by simply connecting the cable without having to prepare external sound sources or effects.
It runs on batteries (4 AA batteries), so you can use it in combination with a commercially available wireless system to play without cables.
You can change the tone, adjust the volume, and adjust the effect level using just the main unit.
By connecting an external MIDI sound module to the MIDI OUT terminal, it can be used as a MIDI controller.
You can use the tone editing software "Vyzex EWI4000s" to edit the preset tones of the unit to your liking.*
It is equipped with a headphone jack, so you can start practicing at home by simply connecting headphones directly.
* MIDI interface required.

The EWI4000s wind synthesizer is a revolutionary electronic instrument that allows for highly expressive performances by simply blowing into it, just like a wind instrument. Special sensors react to the strength of your bite on the mouthpiece and the strength of your breath, allowing for subtle control of pitch, timbre, and volume. Eight parameter knobs—Filter, Breath, Bite, Semi, Fine, Reverb, Chorus, and LFO—are also provided, allowing for fine adjustments to fully express the player's musicality.

Easy to play with simple fingering: The fingering is the same as that of the familiar recorder, so even beginners can easily start playing. It also comes with fingering modes for trumpet, saxophone, flute, oboe, and other instruments, so even experienced wind instrument players can start playing right away with fingering they're familiar with.

Enables highly expressive performances similar to those of wind instruments.Various sensors enable dynamic performances that retain the expressive nuances of wind instruments, such as pitch changes, volume changes, vibrato, glide, and tonguing.
