Clip Art Instrument That Measures Wind Speed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The main thing I look for in microSD cards is the speed of course. This unit measures up considerably! I recommend it to all my friends when looking to upgrade there storage capacity on any mobile device.

Long wire, comes with the battery and wind screen and clip. Happy with it.

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.

This is the perfect item for powering clip-on instrument microphones or PZM's, especially when recording to a portable digital recorder with built in XLR jacks. Good Luck finding another model at this low price...

I use the Rolls PB23 to provide phantom power for instrument clip-on microphones that plug into an instrument amp without phantom power built in. The PB23 is tiny and inconspicuous, well built, and very clean sounding. I recommend it on my website for customers who need phantom power for their microphones. -- Bruce Bartlett, ...........

This no-nonsense contact clip does what it's supposed to do. It holds onto a instrument frame without slippage and it's transmission of vibration into musical frequencies is accurate. The unit is well worth the money if you can find one.

This a good quality Mic mount, it would not scratch your instrument. I bought it for my brother's accordion, the clip on part is smooth, too bad his microphone was too big for it. I wish it would come with a self mounting device for attaching it to any instrument. Over all I think it's of good quality, and a great price.

THIS IS AWSOME! If you play an instrument, consider purchasing this kit. I use the Swivel Clip by Clipping it onto my electric guitar and recording my jam sessions. I also set up the shorty on my keyboard and record that way too. If you are considering buying this kit, BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This mic will pretty much blow your mind with how clean it records. The brass instrument clip isn't that great. It wouldn't stay secured on the trumpet I mounted it on. Plus, certain mutes will prevent it from mounting entirely. I'm sure the clip is very instrument dependent, so plan for backup mounting options. When in doubt, gaff tape.

Filters, like other light control measures or devices, either do what you want them to do or do not. This one does.
