Even Rolands Supernatural instruments sound about 10 years out of date compared to what even the free computer vst's are doing these days. It doesn't have built in sounds it's true, but I've never heard any built in sounds that were worth a damn. So your choice to use the EWI with a PC, or not is up to you. You simply install the software, run it, plug in the EWI, and you immediately get decent quality sampled instruments like Oboe, Trumpet, Trombone, Bassoon, Saxophone, Flute, etc. It doesn't require a DAW like pro tools to use, although it contains a vst as well. You can also directly plug it into the USB port (with otg adapter) of any Ipad or tablet, and use it to control instruments on it.įinally, the EWI comes with it's own software synthesizer for use with PC's and USB. With any USB only instrument, including the EWI USB, you can purchase an inexpensive adapter which takes that USB plug, and translates it to a real 5pin midi out (with no pc required) which lets you plug it in to any hardware synthesizer you like, without the need for a computer. Because of this, you lose the cheap "cd player skipping" sound of every note sounding the same like you get with sampled instruments. It uses virtual instrument modelling to create very expressive instruments that don't use samples, it uses math to create a model. Of the hardware based sound modules for woodwinds, the Yamaha VL series is one of the best.
