Are you looking for an instrument that lets you play anywhere without needing a laptop, cables, or an external sound module? Tired of complex setups just to get a quick practice session in? The Akai Professional EWI Solo is the perfect choice! Meticulously created to be the most portable and accessible member of the EWI family, the Solo features a built-in speaker and a massive internal sound library, ensuring you experience the freedom of performance the moment you turn it on.

The Right Amount of Power and Design

Designed for the modern wind player, the EWI Solo features 200 premium onboard sounds, ranging from hauntingly realistic woodwinds and brass to aggressive, modern synthesizers. Its high-impact design includes a built-in speaker that has been specially calibrated to reproduce the natural frequency response of a wind instrument, making it the ultimate solution for busking, practicing at home, or warming up backstage. With its style-driven, ergonomic layout and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery providing up to 12 hours of play time, you are never tethered to a power outlet.

Expressive Control and Versatility

The EWI Solo offers the ultimate solution for musicians of all backgrounds. Whether you are a saxophonist, flutist, or oboist, the Solo adapts to you with selectable fingering modes for Sax, Flute, Oboe, and EVI (Trumpet). It features an ultra-responsive breath sensor and a bite sensor in the mouthpiece, allowing you to control volume and vibrato with the same nuance as an acoustic instrument. With its OLED display, navigating your presets and adjusting settings like reverb, chorus, and tuning is intuitive and lightning-fast.

Perfect Connections for Any Stage

Features that bridge the gap between practice and performance are built right in. While the internal speaker is perfect for solo play, the 1/4-inch line output allows you to plug into a PA or amplifier for professional gigs. For silent late-night sessions, the 1/8-inch headphone output is essential, and the 1/8-inch auxiliary input lets you play along to your favorite backing tracks. Plus, with USB-MIDI connectivity, the EWI Solo doubles as a powerful controller for your favorite virtual instruments and DAWs.
