"This is the original all analog EWI that was based on Nyle Steiner's original Steinerphone design. The controller is entirely touch sensitive, and the module is pure analog. Includes a full bank of wind synth ready sounds. Everything is fully functional. This unit has a couple mods that may be of interest. The very hard to find proprietary cable was removed and replaced with a straight-through 15-Pin SVGA cable. This makes finding a replacement cable easy and inexpensive. Another mod that was done is that the two front panel ports, audio out and audio in, have been duplicated on the back panel. If you rack mount it, this makes keeping connecting cables out of the way on the front. Included with the unit are the original owner's manuals, as well as a small library of programming tips and tricks. Send me your email, and I can send you for no additional cost a PDF of the full service manual as well. Also included are the factory rack ears and attachment screws."
where was this modded from? I would really like to know.

ReplyDeleteI have the same model and still play it weekly. But, as of late it is acting strangely. Do you know if this model has a factory reset? I don't see it listed in the manual.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr. Busada, it is probably the cable that is starting to fail.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your response. The cable is still hanging on. The problem was in the lithium battery that only lasted 30 years! I had it repaired by Patchman music. By the way, your mon on putting the 1/4" sockets on the back is a great idea. I do rack-mount my EWI 2000 and it is inconvenient with the patches on the outside.
