Super Intelligent Instrument EWI (Electric Wind Instrument) is an electronic musical instrument. The following is a detailed introduction about it:
Invention and Development: EWI was first invented by Nyle Steiner in the 1970s. He combined traditional musical instruments with electronic technology, broke the limitations of traditional fingering, and expanded the performance range of musical instruments through electronic processing. Since then, EWI has gradually become popular and widely used in various music fields.
Working Principle: EWI does not require the player to form sounds with his mouth, but captures the signal emitted by the wind sound of the mouth through its own microphone or sensor, and converts it into an electronic signal, which is then fed back to the speaker through electronic processing. This method enables EWI to achieve a variety of playing methods, such as pitch change, glissando, vibrato, etc., and can also control the timing of the timbre.
Functional Features:
Rich timbre: It can simulate the sounds of many different instruments, such as saxophone, trumpet, flute, etc.
Strong real-time audio processing capabilities: Performers can use various audio effects to change the sound, such as adding reverb, delay, chorus, etc., to make the music more artistic, and also provide more possibilities for modern music creation, facilitating the expression of personal style and creativity.
Unique playing methods: For example, some models (such as EWI-M3) have dynamic sensing on the mouthpiece, which not only affects the strength and volume of the airflow when playing, but also affects the vibrato by applying pressure to the mouthpiece (such as biting the mouthpiece); some models have rollers for convenient switching of octave ranges, and the metal strips on both sides of the roller can create glissando by touching; other models have editable functions, such as adjusting filters, breathing sensitivity, bite sensitivity, pitch, reverb, harmony, low-frequency oscillators, delays, etc.
Application scenarios: EWI has strong flexibility and diversity and can be used in a variety of repertoires, including pop music, classical music, and modern music for electronic processing. It also provides new areas for other instrumentalists to explore and try different sounds and instrument combinations
