Calypso Ultrasonic Portable Wind Instrument User Guide

Works fine. I wish this came with a user's guide, though.

The design and controls were intuitive for me to use so I won't be needing to keep checking the user guide.

Especially good when working after dark or when hiking. But it could use a better user's guide.

I must admit, the first time I unboxed the instrument, I was amazed at the build quality. It has some heft, the keys are properly and ergonomically placed and you know Akai really took their time to perfect this wind controller. But as a long time saxophone player, the first time I actually played some scales, I was quite disappointed - it didn't feel like a saxophone. I was beginning to regret my purchase and thought about exchanging it for the WX5. So I gave it a few more days. Days turned to weeks, and I am beginning to appreciate this instrument. Keep practicing those scales, breathing with the mouthpiece and you realize how this is such an amazing wind controller. I made a mistake thinking that this is a replacement for a saxophone in an apartment situation. In reality, you should think about how this instrument can be an extension to your musical endeavors. The possibilities you can do with the sounds and playability are endless. There are a few usable synths prebuilt, but I suggest using the Akai EWI 5000 Editor to really play and edit your sounds then save it to the user bank. Also there are synths out there that can be used if you plug the EWI as just a midi wind controller; unfortunately you can't upload other synth sounds into the controller. Definitely give it some time to get used to the instrument especially moving from one octave to another. Keep practicing and you'll appreciate that there's hardly any moving parts here. I was opposed at it first since horns have that tactile and key feedback. But with the touch sensitivity, it really felt I was playing an instrument from the future. Again, you just have to get used to it - think about when mobile phones shift from physical keyboards to the modern phones we have today. And here I am today still keeping my purchase and writing a review. I thank Akai for making a top-notch wind controller and continuing the support for the modern electronic wind musician.

Another impressive product from Godox. Without consulting the user-guide I was up and running in minutes after charging the battery pack. Godox claim remarkably fast cycling times between discharges, and from what I have experienced the strobe lives up to it's spec. For the performance and duration, it is impressively small, light and portable, and competes with comparable strobes nearly twice the price. It feels well constructed and durable. I have invested in a Godox system and so far I have not been disappointed.

This book was a valuable investment with my new camera. Gets you going faster than the Nikon User Guide and the index is valuable in finding details of D3500 features quickly. He gets you going and adds layers of experience as you use the camera and progress through sections of the book. Well worth the cost for a companion helper with a foundation of years of Nikon experience.

I reviewed a 1500VA UPS unit earlier after purchasing it last summer for my work-at-home workstation. It is still working fine. When the UPS's were offered again on B&H's daily Deal Zone, I purchased three additional units - (1) 1500 VA and (2) 500VA. As I commented earlier, the packaging does NOT come with an Installer/User Guide, but it is available online and a MUST-HAVE. I proceeded to charge the units for 24 hours prior to adding the intended devices for UPS/surge protection. The next day, the alarm sounded on one of the 500 VA units, and it displayed Error Code E06. The User Manual identified the Error Code as, Battery Charge Failure - Turn-off the UPS and call Vertiv technical support for a replacement unit. I emailed Vertiv and their Customer Service representative responded immediately and walked me through the replacement process. Vertiv replaced the unit under warranty and provided a shipping label for returning the defective unit. Vertiv's customer service is outstanding, just like B&H's. I previously gave this 4-stars because of the lacking User Guide, but that has been forgiven. All four of my Vertiv Liebert UPS units are functioning satisfactorily.

Fairly new to photography and I took the plunge and bought a Canon R6 because I wanted to buy something nice and not work my way up. This user guide is perfect for someone who is starting up or even for a seasoned photographer. I showed this book to a friend who was my go to for canon questions and he was presently surprised by what he saw, he himself started looking for a guide for his R. It's compact, user friendly, not complicated like most user manuals and very insightful. The breakdowns with picture examples are the best part. If you are on the fence trust me it's worth it.

Easy to use so far pics are very good. Very lightweight but feels good not cheap. Only complaint user guide only on line

This is a very versatile instrument. I had not had it two weeks yet when I used it to premiere a new work which I wrote, featuring particular settings of the instrument and my strengths as a new user of it. The premiere was very successful, and I anticipate being inspired to create more original music on it as I get more familiar and proficient. A word to the wise, however: note that outputs are line-level and it will not go directly into an instrument amplifier. Get the necessary transformers up-front if you plan to plug into an amp on location.
