Some tips on tweaking windows: http://us.focusrite.com/answerbase/optimising-your-pc-for-audio-on-windows-7
-
Sound like computer/DAW setup issue. Some strategies to resolve: 1. increasing buffer size for sound card in DAW 2. If it is running Windows, disabling any unneeded services and all power saving features of CPU (e.g. Speedstep) 3. Trying mo…

Hi Michael, No. I don't use it and it looks like it could be more flexible than my setup. When I have some time, I will try it. Thanks! Kobi

Did you try mainstage? I know it is very popular for Mac. You can also do fully functional trial of Reaper for free and it is cross platform and popular for live and studio recording on both PC and Mac. Very light on system resources, very reli…

I am not sure what template you are referring to since I don't use mainstage (I use Reaper). I know that it is a popular host for wind controller musicians and that it works well with both Kontakt and SWAM instruments with EWI.
-
I don't recommend you start your wind controller journey with very expensive bundle. It takes at least a few weeks to get used to EWI touch keys and typically at least a few months to play quick octave changes. If you are not interested in doi…

Yes. Many wind controller musicians use mainstage with EWI and SM instruments. Check patchmanmusic forum for more details.

I did lots of tweaking in past couple of weeks to SWAM presets due to the improved attack and sound of latest updates and a preset shared in this forum that inspired me to make some changes to my flute preset. Best way to explore tweaking sound is t…

I do every few days/weeks a backup of latest Reaper project, key mapping, EWI configuration file and SWAM presets to this folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/trza83cwh20ybj2/KaCR1ylvPN Kobi

Thanks Slava. Interesting micro tuning used in this preset.

I am doing some conversions with the great free midiConverter3 plugin from InsertPiz http://www.thepiz.org/plugins/?p=pizmidi The article you linked can expand this even more to buttons in VSTi that cannot be mapped to any midi messages. T…

You indeed have a good point that the only reason to buy EWI USB is to save money, since 5000 can do everything it can do plus more. Having basic built-in sounds is indeed nice to have for quick practicing or backup. On the other hand, I don'…

I use EWI USB with laptop running VSTi (mostly Sample Modeling) and was following closely the reviews and demos of the EWI5000. If you ignore internal sounds (you should! They are really bad...), there are still some potential features for more adva…

Here is another video from the concert with Swam Flute. (Audio recorded with H2N):

It actually has lots of glitches (my playing, not the instrument), but they sound natural Here is a short video from same gig of solo on Isn't She Lovely:

Wow! You played and mixed it so well that it sound completely real, musical and fun.

Simplest way is to map portamento to CC 17 or CC 16, which can be mapped to mod wheel down or up.

Sound to me like the missing ingredient is vibrato at end.

The inventor is hoping to collaborate with others on adding a finger unit, so this might be in the end an alternative wind controller. I understand it is working with WX5, but some hardware change was needed to WX5 so it would send midi all the time…

I updated my clarinet and tenor sax SWAM presets today, after some additional tweaking. Managed to get fuller and more dynamic sound and more responsive sax for quick key changes for latest SWAM versions. This tweaked for wind controller playing. Le…

Sound like much more than that. Here are some details from the yahoo group (there is much more there, but this answers your question): Fri Apr 11, 2014 1:34 pm (PDT) . Posted by: "Chris Graham" midiwind@ymail.com About the embouchure sensor a…

There is luckily new innovation coming soon of a new generation wind controller mouthpiece invented by Chris Graham called "Multiwind". He described the technology in Yahoo wind controller group this week and also the option of making it compatible …

Never tried WX7 and based on forums, it might be better in these areas. I find the Lip sensor on WX5 to create a flat response, similar to the finding of this article: http://www-acad.sheridanc.on.ca/~degazio/AboutMeFolder/MusicPages/EWI-WX5.h…

After 4 years with WX5, I bought EWI USB a month ago and I like it. I found PB range on WX5 to be very tricky, since the reed sensor seems to jump between values, so if range is high, it sounds jerky and unrealistic. I find EWI bite sensor to be eas…
-
I did many tweaks to my wind controller SWAM sax and clarinet presets (works great on both EWI and WX5) recently due to SWAM updates to 2.2.0 and also test results that made me move to use external compression instead of the SWAM internal one (I use…

Not likely to have wireless midi. Lots of wind control users contacted Akai after the announcement and were told this only transmits wireless audio from internal syntizeser. There is a chance Akai will add wireless midi prior to release, due to popu…

Thanks! I am also looking forward for a SM flutes and hope it will be in SWAM engine, since I find it much easier to customize preset than Kontakt. Kobi

I have not used any of these free VSTi personally, but I think this post is what you are looking for: http://www.patchmanmusic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3744&p=22118&hilit=Free#p22118 Kobi
