What kind of musical instrument is the EFI lamp?

Electric blowpipe is an electro-acoustic instrument that simulates various wind instruments in real performance, but it is far less difficult to play than real wind instruments. It belongs to an electronic organ whose volume is controlled by airflow, and its timbre is between electronic organ and real musical instrument. There are essential differences between electronic pipe blowing and traditional pipe blowing instruments.

The fingering of Roland electric blowpipe is completely simulated from the traditional saxophone. However, people ignore the performance of electronic musical instruments, and what they value is different from traditional musical instruments.

Casio's electronic saxophone imitates the appearance of traditional musical instruments, and even bends the plastic shell into an upward speaker. However, its fingering design is extremely simple. Even among all electronic wind instruments, Casio's flashlight is the only one that can be used with both hands, which is quite similar to China's traditional wind instrument-flute.

Waveform change:

Waveform change is the strength of electronic musical instruments. Because electronic musical instruments can store a large number of samples of real musical instruments, they can also be easily called.

As far as practical use is concerned, the real-time "waveform change" that can be accurately and sensitively controlled by breathing and "feeding organs" is the specialty of traditional musical instruments. Both Yamaha, who has designed and produced a large number of hardware sound sources, and Roland, who is good at electronic musical instruments, are not as good as Yajia.

Yajia's EWI series is still the best in this respect. The reason is that Yamaha and Roland are still too confident in their own sonic meters, but they ignore the changes. Yajia is really good at real-time waveform changes. This will only be understood after you have really played.

Then, in the way of waveform change, for wind instruments, the use of feedback sensor is the most fundamental way to make sound, and it has become the most prominent feature of wind instruments. However, all manufacturers of electronic wind instruments turn a blind eye to this effect, or are at a loss how to produce this effect.

Therefore, at the air inlet, it is either simply made into a dead mouth, which only plays the role of air intake, and only controls the volume by sensing the size of air intake (typically Casio). Or, just add a rocker to sense the bite force. And the operation of the rocker is also very rough.

(For example, Yamaha, Roland) Even if Yajia has a research history of 20 years, even the EWI5000, which was only produced in this century, is still controlled by a rocker. The only thing better than Yamaha and Roland is that there is no need to install plastic whistle to simulate traditional clarinet instruments.
