Great improvisations ! I think I heard a tiny bit of " Per Gynt: In the Hall of the Mountain King ? Right : ) The Sax tone is perfect for this piece. I like the 2nd flute solo sound best, the first one's tone or register was not as much t…

It's frustrating to have this kind of problem which occurs with trumpets but not the saxes. I have not inkling why there is a difference, but in any case it does not hurt to see if there is a newer driver for your Motu Ultralite, just in case …

Nicely done and great steel drums too.

Elsewhere in the Windcontroller Forum. I posted the EWI-USB MIDI parameter settings which are the defaults given in the Akai user manual. As for the Trumpet settings in Kontakt player here is what I found to be relevant for vibrato: 2-3 MI…

The default settings are given in a pdf user manual on the Akai support page. Page 1 Breath gain : 64 Bite gain : 64 Bite AC gain : 64 P Bend Gain : 64 Key delay : 7 Page 3 breath CC1 : 2 Breath Control (coarse) Breath CC2…

To: Kalkrishnan Your stuff on youtube sounds very good to me, even if it is not yet up to your expectations. I enjoyed listening to it and I would love to learn to play Classical Indian music. Although I know very little about this style …

It sounds just fine with my PC speakers (fairly decent ones). I think the snares were meant to be loud, perhaps, to suggest a martial feeling. French horns are great as are the trumpets. I guess I would agree, that what I think are the flute…

I would expect major problems trying to implement Strings for Wind Controllers, since the large number of parameters that need to be controlled require both hands and both feet on the earlier version released with Garritan. Wind controllers r…

I made the mistake of listening to your Pavane... and ended up spending more than 30 minutes listening to a lot of your other wonderful performances. Congrats for the awards (I noted at least 2). Your site should be declared illegal, it has…

I really enjoyed your playing and what bonus to also see you on youtube! Always a pleasure to hear someone who really knows how to play a wind controller this well. Thanks, Dan
-
Rabbit531, Thanks for you kind words. You can hear the French Horn played on EWI-USB demo's I just uploaded. Look for it in the Forum's Use Demo section. Dan

Nicely done. My only suggestion would be to try a bit of legato playing to balance the staccato attacks. I think that just like with dynamics, a bit of contrast, whether tempo, rthythm etc. increases the expressiveness and makes for a more interesti…

Sounds great! I can barely imagine how much work this took : )

The Aria interface for the EWI-USB is one of the absolute worst that I have ever seen. It shows total lack of common sense, so I hardly ever use it for anything. For example, I can't even get it to load a saved setting for all of the important per…

One of the biggest advantages of the EWI-4000s is that it has 8 octave keys vs the EWI-USB's 4. Because the keys closest to the highest and lowest ends do not rotate (and there is no extra space beyond them) using these "end" octave keys is a proble…
-
Just in case it is not clear. I have lots of experience with EWI-USB. However I have not had much experience with the Brass fingering on EWI-USB or EWI-4000s -since I don't play a real trumpet. I like both EWI's very much -each has it's Pro's …
-
Del, Sorry for the very late reply. I don't check these forums as often as I should. Thanks for your kind words. I'm not sure I'm the best person to give you an answer about which of the EWI would be best for playing trumpet with the brass…
-
I recommend the default EWI fingering which you have already begun using. Since playing scales can be quite boring, be sure to find and play easy pieces in whatever genre you enjoy. If you enjoy Classical music, I'm sure you can find some …

Here's My Heart Belongs to Daddy by Cole Porter that I play with the Sample Modeling Tenor Sax with my friend Don Jacobs on clarinet. It's a single unedited take with either the EWI-4000s or the EWI-USB -I don't remember which. http://exp…
-
You did not specify which EWI you are using, but perhaps it does not matter much. I use the default fingering. Prior to using wind controllers I had played recorder, flute, and saxophone (in that order) and the EWI fingering was very similar so…
-
That's great news. Now I have to start saving my money.
-
I'm glad my suggestions were useful. Your sample sounds good. Dan
-
Here is some news about the MuseBox, which will be distributed by Peavey with a price of $899 MAT in the US. It's a cute little 2U half rack "portable" box. The big question is will it run Kontakt and hence the samplemodeling instruments. …
-
Fantastic creation! The photo and graphic design is excellent, the composition is lovely and the music sounds totally authentic and it is wonderfully played. Sounds like the real thing! Dan
-
This composition is also very, very lovely and sounds great either with the Trombone or Sax solos. Here's a suggestion, since you were asking for some. As I understand, the final piece is created by a combination of multi track recording with…

Great composition and very fine playing! Let's hear more. Dan
