I experimented with several free tremelo and vibrato plugins and ended up using the tremelo plugin that comes with Reaper to fake a growl sound. The Garritan sound pack is alright, but what I always missed was a "growl" effect. Previously I'd made do with free VSTs and the Garritan sound pack that came with the purchase of the EWI -USB. Last summer I finally had some money I could use to invest in some Sample Modeling instruments and other paid VSTs (as well as finally purchase a license for Reaper!). What a revelation! Ha ha.Īs for sounds and such, I whole-heartedly agree with the others here who have recommended the Sample Modeling VSTs. It took me alost a year after I'd got my first iPad to realize that the USB hub, which connected inbetween the CCK and the EWI (as a previous commenter explained), didn't have to be plugged in for power. I still don't get to play it nearly as often as I'd like to, but considering that I can't play my alto sax anymore, playing the EWI at least once a week is a godsend. I got an EWI - USB five or so years ago while trying to find an instrument that was easier on my carpal-tunnel damaged wrists and hands. Great to see that there are some EWI players here on the forum.
