On my old WX7 you could blow a low note and press a button that would hold that note as a drone. Then you could play on top of that drone. It was great for bagpipe-like sounds. Is it possible to do the same on the EWI?
Hey thank you for this video. For articulation technique, where do you place your tongue? Would you put it into the mouthpiece opening treating it like a reed? Or do you put your tongue in the top of your mouth and not on the mouthpiece?
mgafney I mainly use a sax style with the tip of tongue on bottom teeth. I also use a flute style when wanting softer attacks. The tongue is just a valve to start and stop the air. All should be subtle and precise.
I just bought ewi 5000 it’s so hard for me to make sound of if I tried your set but I can’t do it right I can make sound but it’s to sensitive do I need to link it on my computer while I’m playing with it please help thanks
Hi Bernie, thanks for the videos and all the info in your website. Can we use the EWI USB as a MIDI controller for creat scores on Sibelius or Finale, for instance? Any help or hint on this issue will be appreciated, thanks again!
thanks man, appreciate it
Good stuff! You have great articulation
Thank you.
Thanks Bernie for this video, Very clear, concise and inspirational
Excellent breath control. God bless
Do you hold the mouthpiece just between the lips or you hold it between teeth. Thx, Thyagu

guitarra zen yes, check out Matkat Music. He has a free series on UA-cam and he also has a couple of courses on Gumroad that are very useful.
Yes you can. You need to be very precise and sometimes its good to use the EWI to 'step' the notes in.
thanks!!!
thanks Bernie!
