How

the

EWV2000

Works

8

The

EWV2000

EWI

&

EVI

Sound

Module

is

a

synthesizer

sound

module

played

with

the

EWI

1000

or

EVI

1000

wind

instrument

style

controller.

It is

basically

two

monophonic

synthesizers

combined

into

one

unit,

and

can

produce

two

different

sounds

simultaneously.

Also,

it

is

equipped

with

an

external

input

jack,

so

it

can

be

used

to

process

or

play

voices

from

another

synthesizer

or a

digital

sampler.

Sounds

consist

of

three

components

—

pitch,

tone,

and

volume.

Pitch

=*

the

height

of

the

sound

Tone

=*

how

harmonics

are

incorporated

into

the

sound

Volume

=*

the

strength

of

the

sound

The

tone

peculiar

to

acoustic

instruments

such

as

pianos,

violins,

flutes,

or

organs

is

formed

by

envelopes

(the

way

the

sound

is

pro

duced),

which

are

variations

of

these

three

components

over

time.

The

tone

is

particularly

governed

by

the

envelopes

for

the

harmonics

d

the

strength

of

the

sound.

With

a

synthesizer,

the

strength

of

the

sound

and

the

amount

of

harmonics

are

generated

by

the

"EG",

the

envelope

generator.

The

synthesizer

is

designed

so

that

many

different

sounds

can

be

created.

Basically,

a

voice

is

generated

when

the

VCF

(voltage

controlled

filter)

adds

the

changes of

the

harmonics

to

the

audio

signal

(sound

source)

output

from

the

VCO

(voltage

controlled

oscillator),

and

the

VCA

(voltage

controlled

amplifier)

adds

the

changes

to

the

strength

of

the

sound.

There

are

also

sounds

which

can

only

be

produced

by

adding

an

envelope

to

the

VCO

to

obtain

changes

in

pitch

(such

as

the

sounds

of

cats,

dogs,

birds,

or

other

animals,

as

well

as

humans).

Furthermore,

if

the

synthesizer

is

to

be

called

an

"instrument",

it

must

have

a

controller

to

make

it

possible

to

play

in

any

key

and

pitch.

Conventional

synthesizers

used

keyboard

type

controllers.

The

EWV2000

uses

EWV2000
