Pros:
* The EWI can be configured for its default fingering system (sax subset), sax fingering, flute fingering, oboe fingering, or brass fingering. I DID try the brass fingering. There are cons to it and I'll address that below.
* You can configure latency/response on the fingerings. One of the reasons I ceased using my WT-11 for composing/arranging electronically was its tendency to glitch. When moving from C5 to B4 requires lifting the middle finger and placing the index finger. On a RL sax, your mouth and basic physics gives some tolerance in the shift. Not so the WT-11. You get either a C# or A grace note before you land on B. The EWI let's you set a deliberate lag on the transition so those glitches are reduced.
* In regard to things like setting sensitivity, it's way easier to do that with a control panel on your computer versus trying to tweak with a screwdriver on the WT-11
* The EWI is a solid bit of instrument. It does not feel like a toy and exhibits a good bit of good engineerig consideration
Cons:
* The worst thing is catastrophic failure. While testing today, the EWI would emit a note start and then just sieze up. The reset feature on the device did nothing to cure the problem. Further, it wasn't related to the software. I tested with Aria (supplied with the EWI), Band in a Box and Finale. In all cases, under no circumstances I could establish, the EWI just switched off. If I re-selected the MIDI device the problem cleared. While this is an aggravation that you can push past in the studio, there's no way I'm going to do a live performance with an instrument that shuts off without provocation.
* It's way too honking big. It's easily double the size and weight of the WT-11. I can't think of a technical reason for it to be quite so big.
* Crossing octive breaks are awful. The WT-11 had it perfect. If you're playing C5 and need to briefly move above that note to D5 to F#5 all you had to do was hold the C (actually, it worked wiht B/Bb/A) and then play D through F# on the right hand and the octave above was assumed. I tinkered with finger combinations on the EWI but got nothing other than expected half-steps.
A bit more smart was needed for this poduct. I won't give it at a 1-star becuse there ARE some redeening features.
* The brass fingering was innovative. However, no brass players are really going to wrap their minds around it. Trumpet was my first instrument and I stuck with it for years. I enabled the brass fingering mode and toyed with that for some time. It's a great example of cognitive dissonance. The right hand does the valve work for the instrument. But replacing lip and breath with and index finger on or off combined with the octave rollers is... well... I lack a proper word. I'm a very flexible person, but I just couldn't adapt to this.

It seems my review has had some influence on the community at large. I feel badly in a way about this because of the clear effort to produce a quality device. I have a college degree in System Analysis, which is a way of saying I'm a good problem solver. As I alluded to it above, I really think the Akai engineers have tried to solve the insoluble. I cannot possibly fault them for this. After all, I like to think I can solve all problems even though I cannot.
Like the Yamaha WX-11, this is a SUPERB performance instrument. I continue to use my Yamaha in this way. However, it fails for purposes of midi transcription and arranging. This purpose of mine is well filled by other Akai products.
With the understanding that his is a performance tool, not a composer or recording tool, I am upgrading my review after long consideration.

That said, there's a pretty big learning curve to get past. And not having real lever-type keys to push means you have to be pretty deliberate with your fingering or you'll hit the wrong key, or too many. The octave rollers are really tough to get right too, especially with some fingering changes where you might have a bunch of keys down and have to release them all while rolling up or down an octave. Of course that might be because of my big fat meathooks! The other complaint, although this isn't because of AKAI, is the lack of breath controller support in virtual instruments, but the pitch-bend mouthpiece works well with most.
As usual, there are enthusiast web sites that have all the good information and would suggest checking them out before you throw it away. It probably requires a good bit of 'unlearning' if you want to play it well.
