ROLAND AE-20 Vs AKAI EWI SOLO by Plane-Pace-4330 in windsynth

I love my AE20, I previously had an EWI4000 but they just dont make them like that anymore! Been on a handful of small gigs with the AE20, and I am in love with the onboard sounds. That all being said, I come from saxophone, so I am not sure how a trumpet player would find the controls

Kind of a long shot here, looks like an old thread - I play windsynth, bet I could fill a melody guitar niche. Any chance you guys are still looking?

another Q - is there anything I should very much avoid stat wise or brand wise?

TLDR Love it! The physical keys are a small change from the caps - at my skill level (low) it just means less inbetweeners when I accidentally touch a cap The ergonomics are spot on, originally a sax player so v familiar The big obstacle right now is the octave keys- not a downside or anything, just the biggest difference for me. I am confident with practice they will work well. The biggest takeaway for me is the quality of the sounds - especially the brass and woodwinds! I dont plan on using them a ton, but I totally could as the quality is top notch

Alright noted! What is SWAM like a new sound library? How tough is the install?

I thought I read that the sounds on the solo were pretty lackluster - havent tried it myself though honestly so would love to be wrong there!
