Yeah, I was really happy with the purchase. It's one of those instruments that really does sound as great as on the demos.

Currently my daughter plays the EWI from a little netbook, so I ported the Chapman Trumpet to a .sfz. For slow songs, the legato is great, but I need to put together a version that doesn't have the transitions so she can use it on faster stuff. In the Kontakt instrument, you can just put it into Polyphonic mode, and the transitions disappear.

Since I'm veering off topic, I'll also mention that I've been playing the Embertone Sensual Sax via the EWI as well. It's got (optional) "embellished" sampled legato, which can be a lot of fun to play. For $20, it's a steal, but it also requires the full version of Kontakt.

Not the same as SWAM, but it'll do for now. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
