The Next-Generation Wind Instrument

EWI5000, the latest addition to the EWI series, combines innovative instrument design, wireless connectivity, and a sound library by SONiVOX to create the most expressive and versatile wind instrument available to today’s musicians. Building upon the legacy of the original Electronic Wind Instrument, Akai Professional created EWI5000 with the same objective in mind—deliver unprecedented musical expression to wind players everywhere. Experience the next generation in wind-performance technology with an instrument that’s built for the contemporary player.

Performance Freedom

With 2.4GHz low-latency wireless connectivity, EWI5000 empowers you to perform freely with a dynamic performance instrument in hand. It supports stereo wireless audio and includes a receiver for instant mobility on the stage or in the studio. EWI5000 also supports wired audio and MIDI connections for integrating with additional external performance and production hardware. Plus, its powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, so you can take EWI5000 with you and play it anywhere.

Unparalleled expression

For precisely controlling volume and pitch dynamics, the EWI5000 features an ultra-responsive mouthpiece with air pressure level and bite sensors. Eight dedicated precision rotary controls let you easily adjust instrument or effect parameters on the fly — tweaking Filter, Reverb, Chorus, LFO, Breath Amount, Bite Amount, Semitone Tuning, and Fine Tuning for a sound that’s as expressive as your performance.

Multiple finger modes

The EWI5000 extends the performance potential of woodwind and brass players alike. With support for multiple playing styles, its interface can be switched to flute, oboe, and saxophone fingering modes. Especially for brass players, an EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument) mode is also included. Whether you’re a classically trained flutist desiring a modern instrument, or an experienced EWI player seeking additional fingering flexibility, the EWI5000 has you covered.
