Your Own Sound
The EWI Solo mouthpiece with air pressure level and contact sensors offers ultra-sensitive response and enables precise control over volume and pitch dynamics for an immersive, expressive performance. Combined with dedicated effect controls for adding reverb, delay, and chorus, as well as editing options for pitch, tuning, and dual LFOs, EWI Solo gives you everything you need to shape your own distinctive sound.
Play the Way You Want
Anyone with even some experience on woodwind or brass instruments won’t need to learn new skills here. A control knob lets the EWI Solo interface easily switch between fingerings for flute, oboe, saxophone, and EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument).
Versatile Connections
Whether rehearsal, live gig, or studio recording—with a range of connection options, EWI Solo offers maximum flexibility. Use the USB-MIDI port and explore the world of software instruments. Connect EWI Solo directly to a PA system via the 6.3mm output. Practice quietly and undisturbed anytime thanks to the 3.5mm headphone output. EWI Solo meets your demands in every situation.
The Finishing Touch
EWI Solo offers nearly endless performance possibilities. With the octave rollers, you can effortlessly and instantly change the pitch of the played note. Add portamento with the conveniently placed glide plate. Get exactly the sound you need with the customizable pitch bend plate.
Especially useful: you can save every edit and recall it spontaneously anytime via the favorites function. Practical, versatile, and fully loaded with must-have sound content right out of the box: EWI Solo is always ready for your next performance.

Comfortable Stereo Headphones
The KH-238 delivers a full, balanced sound with rich bass reproduction and clear highs. It offers plenty of volume yet maintains clean and precise stereo imaging. Naturally, the softly padded, wide headband is length-adjustable. The extension offers 12 steps per side for optimal fit. For even more comfort, the ear cups are mounted on two-axis pivots. The thick, soft padding of the circumaural ear cups also provides good external noise isolation. The volume control integrated into the cable is always at hand, simplifying use with PC or mp3 player.
