Curved Indian Wind Instrument

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.

I bought this microphone for backup on Indian music I record.

I used it shooting tennis and Indian Wells and it keeps up. Used with my Sony a9, 20fs.

The expansive 38-inch curved display immerses you in your work or entertainment, providing a truly panoramic viewing experience. The 1600p resolution delivers stunning clarity and sharpness, making everything from text to images look incredibly detailed. One of the standout features of this monitor is its color accuracy.

The factory calibration ensures that the colors are spot-on right out of the box. The curved design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional. It reduces eye strain and provides a more natural field of view, which is particularly beneficial during long working sessions. The build quality is top-notch, with a sleek, premium finish that complements any workspace. Connectivity options are plentiful with USB-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs, making it easy to connect multiple devices. The USB-C port also supports power delivery, which is a great convenience for charging my laptop while using the monitor. Ergonomics are well thought out, with adjustable height, tilt, and swivel options, ensuring that I can set up the monitor for maximum comfort. The on-screen display menu is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing for quick adjustments to settings.

I have been shooting the progress of a $3million (plus) salmon recovery project funder by the Yakima Indian Nation. Once or twice a week I gain entrance to the project and photograph workers on or off many laders and back hoes. Using 4x6 prints created in a sumpled Canon Selfy printer using both battery on site and commputer in the office I have fouond this album the the easiest to load I have ever used. However verticle prints have to be cropped to retain that aspect in the book.
