"CEM Chip Power – Oberheim Xpander DNA – MIDI CapableStep into vintage analog glory with the Akai EWI3020M, a rack-mounted monophonic synthesizer designed to pair with the EWI3020 wind controller—but just as capable when triggered via standard MIDI! Yes, it can be used without the wind controller, making it an incredible analog voice module for any MIDI-capable setup.
At its heart lies a Curtis CEM3394 voice chip—the same chip found in the legendary Oberheim Xpander—delivering warm, punchy, and expressive tones. Originally launched in the late '80s, the EWI3020M was part of Akai’s bold foray into wind synthesis, but its standalone capabilities and exceptional tone make it a sleeper hit for analog synth enthusiasts and modular-minded players alike.
Key Features:
Monophonic analog signal path with dual VCOs, VCF, VCA, LFO, and dual EGs
CEM3394 voice chip for rich, vintage sound
Wide modulation matrix: 7 sources, 10 destinations
50 patch slots (factory + user)
Waveforms include Triangle, Saw, Square, and Sync modes
Full MIDI In/Out for use with keyboards, sequencers, or DAWs
Rackmount format – a studio-friendly synth module with stage potential
Whether you're breathing life into it with a wind controller or sequencing it via MIDI, the EWI3020M is a versatile, expressive, and highly underrated gem in the analog world."
