There I assigned the CC2 midi control to the Volume, so then it will be immediate use in some DAWs (like in Cubase, which recognizes it automatically).
An example setting can be seen in the picture. You just need to connect the EWI via usb, open this software and set it up. But I suggest you try it anyway.ģ) Install the free Cognitone software to set up the EWI. I personally don’t like it because it lags even with ASIO drivers. UPDATE: I am having some problems with ASIO4ALL drivers on my Realtek HD Audio (Windows 10 build 19041), with an intermitted noisy crackling problem.Ģ) Install the original AKAI EWI USB software that you can find on the manufacturer’s website here. The best, anyway, is to have a dedicated external audio interface (even a cheap one) with their own ASIO drivers. To get around this (and to use for example your program to play and YouTube in the background) you can use FlexiASIO drivers, but you have to play a little bit with the configuration files… and the latency increases (see picture). The problem with these drivers is that they mute everything else in the system. So it’s great, I don’t feel any lag, even without an external sound card. With these, if I put a buffer size of 88 samples I get about 7 ms of latency. To make the breath control work just set the settings on a Windows or MAC PC on the Akai EWI USB proprietary software or on the Cognitone free software (which is better).ġ) First of all, if you don’t have a dedicated sound card but you want to use the internal one of your PC, install the ASIO4ALL drivers. For this you can find similar guides on the internet about MIDI keyboards, follow those. I would like to write this short guide, going straight to the point, on how to configure the EWI the first time using Windows and Ableton Live.Īs for Linux: I tested it on Ubuntu 18.04 and it works as soon as connected, you need to install FluidSynth, QSynth and JACK.
