EWI 5000 comes loaded with more than 3GB of top quality sounds from the SoNiVoX sound library, including traditional horns, brass, woodwind and string sounds, plus progressive synths, leads, and other electronic sounds to emulate the likes of 'Steps Ahead'. The EWI 5000 includes 12 touch-sensitive metal keys on the top and an 8-wheel, thumb controlled octave roller on the bottom. An EVI Mode allows brass players to operate the EWI as an Electronic Valve Instrument too.
