Yes. That particular sound is playing the EWI driving a sampler  
loaded with bass clarinet samples, patched through a virtual wha  
pedal and through a virtual slightly overdriven UK Combo 30W and a UK  
1x12 open cabinet. The whining sound that has some sitar and flute to  
it is the EWI driving Sculpture (modeling synth of Logic's). But he  
first part I recorded with the EWI was the strings. I used a multi  
sample set taken from old Mellotrone tapes with the sampler's LFO  
synced to the song tempo via a tempo division factor assigned to the  
EWI's breath control. So the harder I'm blowing into the mouthpiece  
the faster the tremolo goes with the string orchestra patch. That  
makes it possible to hold just one note and still make some rhythmic  
tension over time :-)
