If you transpose a C major scale up a half step it becomes C# D# E# F# G# A# B# C#. You need to keep track, after a few weeks this is easy to do. Well worth the time.

My guess is they have changed some settings in the updates. This video is 3 years old. Maybe try Audacity. It is a free DAW!!!

Thank you for the kind words. Email me at curtsipe@me.com, we can set up a Zoom meeting, I'd love to talk to you. I've been working on my piano.

Sorry, only English.

@@ewi_den can i buy your books from italy? do you ship in Italy? thank you.

@@GiuseppeFernandoStumpo you can purchase my courses at : www.curtsipe.com : Some content is free. The paid courses are videos and PDF file downloads. You would have access to them. I hope this is helpful.

I've never had a chance to try it. The Midibeam is onboard on the NuRAD.

I don't understand the question completely. So, if I don't answer exactly what you asking. Please ask again. 1. There is a transposition feature in the EWI programming where you can set the key for it's transposition. Examples: Concert Key, Eb like Alto Sax, Bb like clarinet. And Yes, you can set it for any key. However, you can't change the setting while playing. 2. some fingerings are the same as Clarinet, and most of the upper octave is exactly the same. Inside the EWI DEN are some documents entitled "Home Fingerings," and one of them is the "Home Fingerings for Clarinet." It will illustrate the fingering common with the clarinet when the EWI set to EWI STANDARD FINGERINGS. I hope this was helpful.

@ewi_den it does answer my question and I thank you for the video and the response.

Great! Thank you!@@KDrizzz

👍

Thank you. I hope it is helpful.

You bet!

That is a great question! I'll do a video about it. The answer is important and a bit lengthy. The short answer is that Keys and chord roots moving in fourths are Western music's most common harmonic movement. If we practice our scales in the circle of fourths, we are getting prepared for that movement. Example: D-7 / / / G7 / / / C∆7 / / / | / / / /|| This is a 2 5 1 the most common chord progression in Jazz Standards. Notice the Roots are in 4ths D - G - C. Hope that is helpful!

You are welcome!

Thank you!

Happy New Year, John! Thank you so much, appreciate your support so much!!

Yes, no embouchure required. Just like recorder.

It means the air doesn’t flow through the instrument. It still operates on air pressure blown into the instrument. Important technique is to leak air on the sides of your embouchure to facilitate the response of tonguing. It’s is a great system, and becomes comfortable quickly.

Thank you. What’s the next project?

@@ewi_den I’m gonna dive into this song

Thank you.

Thank you! Yeah, those tracks are really nice. I need to explore the rest of them.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Hope you are doing well!

😂 no comb, no shampoo, and no haircuts since 1999.

Thank you for checking it out! I hope it was helpful in some way.

very usefule for me @@ewi_den

Hope they are helping! Thanks for checking out the video!

I love mine! Hope you can get one soon! Thanks for checking out the video!

Thanks a lot!

@@ewi_den 🙌🙌🎷🎷

You are welcome!

Reach out to me. We can do a zoom meeting and see what's going on. I'm traveling be back in Chicago Thursday Nov 8th. email is: curtsipe@me.com

CV = Control Voltage - used to control synths. CV indicates which note (event) to play: a different voltage for each key pressed; those voltages are typically connected to one or more oscillators, thus producing the required pitches. Such a method implies that the synthesizer is monophonic. LiPO is a Lithium Battery. The Ball Bearing Canister is a smooth octave mechanism for the NuEVI.

Thank you. A lot has to do with allowing air to leak from the sides of your embouchure, which is the proper technique for a closed-air system of the NuRAD. I actually tongue behind my front teeth. Like saying a T or D sound. If you need some help, email me at curtsipe@me.com and we can arrange a meeting.

EVI-NER by Davidson Carpenter. It's a soft synth, $15.00 available at : www.davidsonaudioandmultimedia.com/products/evi-ner

That is awesome! Reach out again when it arrives!!

Thank you! Great information!

Send me an email an I'll sent you a link for a Zoom meeting (First ones free) Here is my email: curtsipe@me.com There is a lot that will be much either to discuss in conversation. We can get you up and running!

Oh, this is a great comment!!! Yes, Cole is my son. And Sean Reeser was my sax student. I love those guys. They all met at ECU. I'm glad they are starting to get some traction. Cole and I will be spending a few days together in July, and then again in August. Hopefully, we'll get to make some music. If you want to do a zoom lesson, shoot me an email. curtsipe@me.com (First one will be free!) Thanks for reaching out! Best, Curt

Glad you enjoyed it! You are welcome.

Thank you! I've been trying to make my videos for as many EWIs as possible. When there is a specific issue, sometimes I'll address a specific EWI. All the Akai EWIs have very similar operations, and if someone chooses the Ewi Standard Fingerings, then they respond precisely the same regarding pitch. This fingering system can be used on any Electronic wind instrument that has the EWI standard fingering as an option. All the Akai and also the NuRAD. I hope this helps.

Thank you, Eddie! I hope you are doing well! I've been thinking of you lately. We should have a Zoom meeting sometime and have a conversation. I took a little time off after doing the manual....lol. my email is: curtsipe@me.com

It's a VST version of the 1970's Lyricon 2. It responds very much like the EVI-NER. It just has a different pallet of sounds and controls.

You are welcome!

Shoot me an email: curtsipe@me.com We can set up a Zoom meeting and have a conversation, and get you off to a great start.

Juan, Thank you!

The default setting of an EWI is normally convert pitch. You also have the ability to set it for any transposition. What EWI are you playing?

Thank you! Yep, me too. Made me a life long Dejohnette and Haden fan.

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and leaving a comment. I understand that NuRad's price point and waitlist might be a barrier for some players, and it's always important to find an instrument that fits your budget and needs. My intention was not to promote one instrument over the other but rather provide an honest comparison based on my personal experience. I appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy playing your Akai. Best regards.

@@ewi_den Yeah, I know you didn't but, there are people out there who, upon switching to a NuRad become a bit stuffy, to say the least. But yeah it's mostly the waitlist that bothers me, then the price...for that price I can buy more hardware. The akai is objectively inferior to the NuRad, but I don't know if the inferiority measures up to the waitlist and pricepoint of the NuRad for me. I think I'd rather just buy other instruments (like a guitar or something) instead. But who knows how long I really can resist its lure. I am interested in the NuRad, after all.

@@lofwyr5063 I recently had a conversation with Johan, he mentioned the hold-up is supply chain issues with some components they need, the Berglund team is just as frustrated as anyone else, having an in-demand product and no way to fulfill orders. He hoped they would be up and running full speed by the end of the summer as that was predicted by his suppliers; Berglund had made arrangements to enhance production right before Covid hit. UGH! In the video, I tried to stay clear of my reliability issues with Akai, as I didn’t know what to expect from the NuRAD. I started playing EWI full-time about 12 years ago when a jaw tremor ended my saxophone career. (I’m fine, the tremor may even be gone) In those 12 years, I went through (2) 4000’s and 4 (5000s) and only one (a 5000) is still working. In the summer of 2021, I reached out to Matt Traum, telling him I needed another EWI and a different plan, stating I would rather not purchase another Akai. Six months later, Matt found me a NuRAD FEB 2022. It’s been about a year and a half so far, and there are no issues at all. It is nice to have peace of mind. I play and teach every day, sometime all day, so I do use them heavily, but still, my keyboards and other devices have held up through the years. It’s my hope the the NuRAD remains reliable… time will tell. Take care!

Thank you, Juan! I just listened to the Paquito link. WOW!!

Thank you! We are glad it is helpful, have fun!!

It is a huge amount of work to make such video bravo !!! it would be great to add the link to the firmware 1.6.1 and how to upgrade the firmware with this no need to have the manual everything would be covered 👍👍👍

@@fredericpariset1246 DONE! Thank you so much. If you have any other ideas or recommendations please share them. Mch appreciation!!!

This is very useful the NuEVI NuRAD community is growing fast and such videos can help lots of users to take the best of their instruments !!!

@@fredericpariset1246 Thank you!
