A patch editor for the Akai EWI 4000s electronic wind instrument

The Akai EWI 4000 s is a synthesizer and stores 100 sound patches.
Unfortunately its controls do not allow you to change those patches
directly on the instrument. Instead some software is needed that talks the
appropriate MIDI commands. ewi4000s-editor does that.

To run ewi4000s-editor you need Python 3.4 (I think) and either
ALSA or Windows. I.e. it is made for Linux but might also run under BSD
and maybe even MacOS (with some ALSA installed), and I have seen it run
under Windows (without ALSA but with some suitable Python installed).

To make use of ewi4000s-editor you need an EWI 4000 s (the 5000 or the USB
won’t do) and some kind of MIDI interface that works under Linux (or whatever
OS you are trying to run ewi4000s-editor on). Use two MIDI cables to connect
the EWI’s MIDI out to the interface’s MIDI in and the interface’s MIDI out
to the EWI’s MIDI in. Hook up the interface to your computer and you are
in business.

Be aware that the program is not finished or polished yet:

* The main GUI only uses sliders
* The device selector in the menubar doesn’t work. At all.
* The help is quite rudimentary
