Bernie Kenerson reviews the Suonopuro EWI Presets

Alistair Parnell

Alistair Parnell, composer and sax player, said about Suonopuro EWI Presets: "Very impressive!"

Nick Batzdorf

Nick Batzdorf, Editor/publisher of VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS MAGAZINE: "Great job of programming" 

Marian Jaslovsky

Marian Jaslovsky, Slovak saxophone/flute/EWI player: "I have an EWI for more than 5 years and my 4000s plays an important role in my live performances and studio recordings. Native EWI sounds are a little bit problematic so I bought the famous bank from Patchman. But something was missing there for me. I love funk and fusion and I discovered cool sounds in the Suonopuro EWI Presets by Mr. Gino Chimenti. This bank sounds damn good!" 

Marian Jaslovsky plays the EWI with Suonopuro patch n° 12 in a song by the band AMO: Spoločná Reč.

Gaetano Tucci

Gaetano Tucci, great saxophonist and EWI player: "An outstanding job, and I like all the sounds. In terms of playability on the ewi, they are all perfect (you can see that have been designed by someone who plays a wind instrument). The ones I like more are those of Metheny, spectacular, it seem to hear him, the number 6 (brass), and of course those two concerning the Yellow Jackets. Even Suonopuro n. 2 Ewi particularly struck me. Definitely a job well done!!!"

Philippe Gobinet

Philippe Gobinet, saxophonist, flutist, EWI player, composer, arranger and jazzist who payed in orchestras and TV shows, recorded some songs with Suonopuro EWI Presets.
Here you can listen a piece called "La Javanaise", a classic French song played using the patch n.2 (Dolce).
