Logic, Breath Control and Sound Design for the EWI
Written tutorials with every screenshot and the companion videos. They work with most wind controllers, not only the EWI.
Building an EWI Environment in Logic
A step-by-step series on Logic Pro's Environment: MIDI channel strips and switches that give you live control of your EWI.
Beginning Steps for an EWI Environment
How the EWI talks MIDI, then your first two objects in Logic's Environment: a program-change reference and a Kill Vol switch.
Create a Volume to Modulation CC Transformer Switch
Remap breath-driven Volume (CC#7) to Modulation (CC#1) by changing one Transformer.
Create a Pitchbend Kill Switch
Let one sound bend with the pitch plates while a second one holds its pitch, a guitar-style double-stop effect.
Create a Range Limiting Environment Object
A note-range limiter built from one Transformer and two faders, using Logic's meta events.
Breath Control and Sound Design
Programming samplers so they respond to breath the way a wind instrument should.
Gear, Scripts and Ideas
A hardware favorite, a harmonic trick and the question of finding your own sound.
Dynasample Xpression
Why a wind-synth hardware unit became a studio companion for horn mockups.
Harmonic Rotator
A MIDI script that emulates the Oberheim Xpander's rotate mode, the harmonic trick behind Michael Brecker's sound.
Creating a Unique Identity on the EWI
What creates a musical identity on an instrument that sounds like nothing until you program it?
