We greatly appreciate your purchase of the AKAIEWV2000 EWI &
EVI Sound Module.
The EWV2000 is a sound module exclusively for use with the
EWI 1000 (woodwind type) or EVI 1000 (brass/valve type) wind
instrument style controller.
This manual includes detailed explanations of operations, etc. de
signed to show you how to use the superior functions of the
EWV2000 to their fullest extent.
• The EWV2000 is a 2-system type "analog synthesizer module"
with 2 VCOs, 2 VCFs, 2 VC As, and 4 EGs.
• The EVW2000 can be used to produce a rich variety of expressions
with the breath sensor, lip sensor, and touch sensor of the
EWI 1000 or EVI 1000 wind instrument controller, including rise
and fall of the tone, strength of the tone, pulse width modulation,
clarity of timbre, vibration effects, and glide effects.
• Using the two synthesizers makes it possible to create a variety of
voices and play in a variety of ways, for example by producing two
different sounds simultaneously or slightly varying the attack and
sustain for the two sources.
• The EWV2000 is equipped with 64 built-in memory banks, and the
voice in each bank can be named.
• MIDI OUT jacks, so an external MIDI sound source or sampler
can also be played from the EWI1000 or EVI1000.
• Audio signals can be input from an external component, for exam
ple a sampler, and mixed with the synthesized sound, and voices
and expressions can be created using the sampled sound.
• 16-character LCD dialogue-style easy operation improves operabil-
ity and ease of verification when editing.
• Equipped with tape interface for external storage of memory files,
so voice data can be recorded on cassette tapes.
• 64 ready-playable voices are stored in the memory banks upon
shipment. These voices can easily be used as a base for creating
your own voices.
• Polyphonic play of up to 4 sounds is possible on an external MIDI-
compatible sound source using the programmed polyphonic chord
patterns.
