EWItool

I recently discovered EWItool, an open source controller that works perfectly with my Akai EWI4000s wind synthesizer. This software comes equipped with a user-friendly sound editor, allowing for seamless patch management. One thing that really stands out is its patch library management, which is incredibly convenient for those who want to stay organized.

One of the features I appreciate most is its online patch repository, which is accessible from version 0.4 onwards. This repository allows you to share patches with other users, allowing for a more collaborative music-making experience. To learn more about this feature, be sure to check out EWIPatchExchange.

In terms of availability, EWItool caters to both Linux and Windows users. Windows users can benefit from executable zip files, while a Debian package (i386 lenny/sid) and a Gentoo ebuild are available in the Download section for Linux users. Additionally, if you're a Debian user, the Debian package sources can be found in the "contrib/debian" SVN folder.

Overall, I highly recommend EWItool to anyone who wants to enhance their music-making capabilities without breaking the bank. With its intuitive interface and extensive sound editing capabilities, this software could take your music to the next level.
