Recently, a satisfied customer wrote: "I purchased
my first WX5 and VL70-m from [major online dealer] and I ended
up taking it back because I was frustrated with the results I
was getting and couldn't get any 'real' help from them in that
department. A year later I talked with Matt at Patchman and he
guided me in the right direction, set me up with the right tools
and I am a happy camper. Sometimes I sound like I am on commission
as a salesman for him, but that sure isn't the case. I just feel
very strongly about the help I received then and now. An old
saying goes 'Dance with the one that you brought you to the dance'."
  Why buy your EWI from Patchman Music?

We play wind controllers. We sell wind controllers. We repair
wind controllers. We design wind controllers and have consulted
with all the major wind controller makers in developing their
products. We KNOW wind controllers. Our wind controller clients include Michael Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Tom Scott, Jeff Kashiwa, Steve Tavaglione, Judd Miller, Mike Phillips- pretty much every top tier wind controller player in the biz!
Wind controller expert Matt
Traum personally updates, checks, and CALIBRATES EVERY
wind controller we sell before it ships. We can't stress enough
how important this step is as most horns that arrive from the
factory are not even close to being calibrated correctly. Matt's wind controller clients include Michael Brecker, Tom Scott, Bob Mintzer, Jeff Kashiwa, Judd Miller, and many others! Buy your EWI from the folks the pros come to!
Every EWI is updated to the latest OS and parameters are set
to the optimum settings. You can play an EWI SOLO, EWI5000, or EWI USB
from Patchman Music right out of the box.
We support the EWI4000s with an amazing upgraded
EWI4000s soundbank that we developed which turns the EWI
into a whole new instrument. These same sounds have been used by EWI and Sax great Bob Mintzer for many years in live performance and Grammy winning recordings with the Yellowjackets! We also offer a huge library
of wind controller sounds for other synths as well.
Personal and highly knowledgable after-sale support. As
always, if you buy your EWI SOLO, EWI5000, or EWI USB, from Patchman Music
you will be supported after the sale. You will not find another
dealer who can answer your EWI SOLO or EWI5000 questions the
way we can. Guaranteed. The importance of easily available after-sale
support cannot be over emphasized in the wind controller
world. (All computer specific issues and repair issues will be directed to Akai
tech support).
Convenient and personal wind controller support. If you wish to make a purchase, email Matt
to discuss your EWI purchase with him.

Hundreds of Sounds Included - Akai Professional's EWI series has a reputation for sounds that inspire creativity and guarantee multi-genre application right out-the-box.

From luscious, evolving synth pads to an authentic, sultry jazz clarinet, every genre is covered with an expertly curated catalogue of exclusive tones. EWI Solo's ultra-responsive mouthpiece, with a breath sensor and bite sensor, precisely controls volume and pitch dynamics for uncompromising response. Combine this with dedicated FX controls to add Reverb, Delay and Chorus, plus editing facilities for Pitch, Tuning and Dual LFOs, and EWI Solo provides everything you need to shape your signature sound. Akai also has provided a free sound editor for the EWI SOLO.
Connect for More Control - Whether it's practice, live performance or studio recording, EWI Solo's arsenal of connectivity options provide complete hookup flexibility. Delve into a world of software instruments with EWI Solo's USB-MIDI connectivity. Connect directly to PA systems with the 1/4-inch output.

Get exactly the expression needed with an adjustable pitch bend plate. Musicians can even save any program edits and recall them on the fly with the handy Favorites feature.

Floor Stand for Akai EWI USB, EWI4000s, EWI5000, EWI3020, EWI3000
We have a very limited quantity of these nice inexpensive compact floor stands that work with the Akai EWI USB, EWI4000s, EWI5000, EWI3020, EWI3000 lineup. This lightweight wind controller floor stand collapses and folds up into a compact footprint for easy transport.
The photo at left shows this stand holding a Roland Aerophone AE-20, but it is adjustable so it can also be used with the Akai EWI USB, EWI4000s, EWI5000, EWI3020, EWI3000, AE-30, AE-10, AE-10G, AE-05, AE-01, Yamaha WX5, WX11, WX7, Lyricon, and the Casio DH-100, and DH-200.
When using it with the AE-30, you would place it in the stand turned 90 degrees so it is facing sideways due to the AE-30's slightly taller stature.
Sorry, this stand does NOT work with the Akai EWI SOLO, or Yamaha YDS-150.
This stand is very light and easy to carry to a gig.
Great for home, studio, or live at the gig.
(Wind controller not included.)
$40 + $20 shipping/handling to lower 48 States!!
SORRY, SOLD OUT. Email Matt at matt@patchmanmusic.com for availability of used floor stands |

Boss PSA-120s AC Adaptor (For use with the Akai EWI4000s)
This is the power supply Patchman Music recommends for the EWI4000s. It is better than the Akai MP9 AC Adaptor model. The power cable length is 10 feet and it features an LED indicator for quick visual

we bundled it with our EWI4000s Pro Packs.

Replacement
for Akai EWI3000m AC Adaptor Power Supply
UPGRADED! The Akai model replacement AC Adaptor for the Akai EWI3000m
has long been discontinued but Patchman Music now offers a 100%
compatible adaptor. We have tested this model and it works perfectly
with the Akai EWI3000m as well as the Yamaha WT11,
RY30, TG100, and others. This adaptor is actually BETTER than
the original Akai brand power supply as it is smaller, lighter,
more powerful, and accepts a wider range of input voltage (universal).
This adaptor features 100-240V @ 50-60 Hz AC input,
15V 1A DC output, 2.1mm connector, and a 6 foot cable. Tip/center is positive (+). It never hurts to have a spare. Stock up now!

EWM1 Replacement Mouthpiece for EWI SOLO, EWI5000, EWI4000s, & EWI USB
Original factory fresh new replacement mouthpiece for the
EWI SOLO, EWI5000, EWI4000s, and EWI USB (Akai part number EWM1). Use this when you
want to share your EWI SOLO, EWI5000, EWI4000s and EWI USB with someone or simply
need a new mouthpiece. Quick and simple single screw installation
using a small 3/16" Phillips head screwdriver. Includes
the white rubber mouthpiece and the black plastic cowling piece
it installs into as shown at left. Please note that this item does NOT fit any other EWI models.
Mouthpiece Screw is not included- use your original screw if
it is not rusted or use a new replacement stainless steel screw (highly recommended)
see below.

Replacement STAINLESS STEEL Mouthpiece SCREW for EWI SOLO, EWI5000, EWI4000S, & EWI USB
The original EWI4000s factory screw was made of a material that can rust and seize up. Not good! When this happens the mouthpiece is no longer removable and an expensive repair is needed as the old mouthpiece needs to be surgically cut off by a repair tech! We strongly recommend that all EWI4000s owners replace the original mouthpiece screw with this STAINLESS STEEL type as soon as possible. EWI SOLO, EWI USB, EWI SOLO, and most EWI5000 owners need not worry as Akai uses a stainless steel type from the factory on that model only. EWI4000s and some EWI5000 owners should replace the
mouthpiece screw ASAP as the factory screw will rust, strip, and seize up
from moisture. Replace
it now and save yourself the hassle and expense later on. Quick
and simple installation using a small 3/16" Phillips head
screwdriver.

Rubber Mouthpiece Plug for Akai EWI SOLO, EWI USB, EWI4000s, EWI5000
Here is the new Rubber Mouthpiece Plug that started shipping with later Akai EWI SOLO instruments. This Rubber Mouthpiece Plug can be inserted into the Mouthpiece screw hole on any Akai EWI SOLO, EWI USB, EWI4000s, or EWI5000 to keep the moisture from the mouth from entering the mouthpiece screw area. This is an added protection against the mouthpiece screw rusting. Installing this Rubber Mouthpiece Plug, in addition to installing a stainless steel mouthpiece screw, can help prevent a costly repair due to the mouthpiece screw rusting and getting locked up and no longer removable. In that case, often times the EWI will need to be sent in to a qualified EWI repair shop to have the old mouthpiece carefully cut off and replaced. (Do NOT try this at home!)
Please note that when this Rubber Mouthpiece Plug is inserted into the mouthpiece screw hole on an Akai EWI SOLO, EWI USB, EWI4000s, or EWI5000, you will not be able to use the Akai EWI Mouthpiece Cap since they both use the same hole.
This Rubber Mouthpiece Plug does NOT fit the older style EWI1000, EVI1000, EWI3020, and EWI3000 mouthpieces.
This Rubber Mouthpiece Plug is made of a very nice rubber-like material which will last a long time.
If you have lost your original Rubber Mouthpiece Plug, or need to purchase one, here is your opportunity to replace it with this original replacement part. If your mouthpiece screw is rusted and cannot be removed, you will need a repair.
Need a spare Rubber Mouthpiece Plug? Here's your chance to
get a factory replacement. Patchman Music also stocks the AKAI EWI SOLO, EWI5000, EWI USB, and other EWI
accessories.
This sale includes one original Akai Rubber Mouthpiece Plug. The mouthpiece is not included but we sell them elsewhere on this page.

Original factory fresh replacement Cable Holder Clip for
the Akai EWI4000s, EWI3020, and EWI3000. This is the plastic part
that holds the cable in place.
If yours is broken or cracked you can replace it with this original replacement part. (This part is NOT for the EWI USB or EWI1000/EVI1000). On the EWI4000s, this part simply slips on and no disassembly is needed. With the EWI3020 and EWI3000 models, disassembly of the EWI is required. If a repair is needed on your EWI see this.

Akai EWI-FR Finger Rest for EWI3000 and EWI3020
Attention EWI3000 and EWI3020 players! Because the EWI3000 and EWI3020 keys respond electronically to touch and do not move, you must keep your fingers completely off the keys you don't want down or you get wrong notes and glitches. Players of open-hole instruments normally keep their fingers off open holes and will feel more at home with the EWI than sax players who usually rest their fingers lightly on open keys. To remedy this situation for the rest of us, Akai offered this snap-on finger rest, the EWI-FR, which provides 3 spring-loaded keys for each hand. Slide the EWIFR Finger Rests onto your EWI3000 or EWI3020 and you can rest your fingertips on these 6 spring-loaded pads! The Akai EWI-FR gives the player a sense of "moving keys".
Please note: Sorry, this item does NOT fit any other EWI model. The EWI-FR does NOT fit the EWI1000, EVI1000, EWI4000s, EWI USB, EWI5000, nor EWI SOLO. Email Matt if you have any questions regarding this item.

Rubber Mouthpiece Tip for Akai EWI3020 & EWI3000
Original factory fresh replacement Rubber Mouthpiece Tip for
the Akai EWI3020 and EWI3000. This is the entire rubber part
of the mouthpiece that fits inside the plastic cowling piece.
Is yours starting to show signs of wear? Replace it now before
your teeth wear a hole in it and moisture gets into the horn
causing a costly repair. Need a spare? Here's your chance to
get a factory replacement. Only a limited number are available
so don't delay. This item is available only in white as shown
in photo at left. This item is NOT available in black but it
fits both the EWI3020 and EWI3000 models. We strongly recommend using Yamaha Recorder Cream for easy
installation and future removal (available below). Patchman Music stocks the AKAI EWI SOLO, EWI5000, EWI USB, and EWI
accessories. SORRY, NO LONGER AVAILABLE |

YAMAHA Recorder Cream
New 2 gram vial of genuine Yamaha Recorder Cream for use on
the internal rubber mouthpiece seals on the EWI3000, EWI3020,
WX5, WX11, or WX7. Use this cream regularly on the internal area
of the rubber mouthpiece parts to protect, lubricate, maintain
softness, and reduce aging and cracking. NOT for use on key switches
or on the outside of the mouthpiece. Put a little on the inside
of the mouthpiece and on the rubber gasket where the mouthpiece
slides on and meets the body to allow easy future removal of
the mouthpiece. It helps keep the rubber gasket moisturized to
prevent it from cracking and tearing. Don't leave home without
it! Highly recommended. (Not an Akai product). NOT for use with the Akai EWI5000, EWI4000s, or EWI USB (there
is no need).

Though not an Akai product, this Yamaha WX Soft Pouch fits
