Warranty: 90 Day Parts and Labor Warranty from (Refurbished Used Units) 90 Day Parts and Labor Warranty from / 1 Year Akai Warranty (New Units) THE PLATINUM-HIT PRODUCER MPC2500 has set the industry benchmark for beat production. Custom Forat Casing (Pearl White) -Custom Painted Knobs and Buttons (as pictured) Several of the actual synth sounds, on the other hand, are decent, although they probably don't live up to the EWI 4000S overall, especially not with Patchman's sound bank.This is a custom unit built by Bruce Forat. That goes doubly for things like guitar/xylophone/piano/steel drum patches and similar, which to me make little sense at all. They sound fairly good as far as that kind of instrument goes, but I'd never use them for anything but novelty purposes. The EWI solo has about 200 on-board sounds, and around half of them are sampled real-life instruments. I've always been of the opinion that wind synths sound much better as synthesizers than an imitation of wind instruments. I take it out many times a day, and it's probably the best addition I've had to my music setup in years.

The instrument is a joy to both practice and perform on. The on board speaker makes it possible to take out the EWI and practice without any complicated setup. It has a good on-board battery, the OLED display/navigation features are great, the new F#-key is a great addition. The new EWI solo is close to being the best EWI and also therefore the best wind synth on the market in many respects.
