Calibrating Sensors
The EWI5000's sensors can be adjusted and assigned as described in the Adjusting Sensors chapter, but we recommend calibrating them, as well. Calibrating the sensors ensures their sensitivity and response fits your performance style the best.
You can calibrate the following sensors:
Key Delay (Note Keys) and Program Button
Breath Sensor
Glide Plate
Important: The glide plate and
Tip: It may be useful to test the sensitivity of any of the sensors with a constant breath output. You can set the EWI5000 to do this at any time during calibration by setting the Breath Parameter Knob to a high setting so that a dot appears in the display.
For reference, you can see an overview of the entire menu structure of Setup Mode in Appendix > Menu Structure > Setup Mode.
Key Delay (Note Keys) and Program Button
To calibrate the note keys and Program Button:
1.Press and hold the Setup Button to enter Setup Mode.
2.Press the Hold Button or Interval Button to scroll through the options until CL (Calibration) appears in the display.
3.Release the Setup Button. The display will show the current sensor. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to dL (Key Delay).
4.Turn the Chorus Parameter Knob to adjust the note keys' sensitivity. 00 is the lowest sensitivity, while 99 is the highest.
You can touch the note keys or Program Button to test the setting. The Setup Button LED will light up when the EWI5000 detects that you are touching a note key. The Trans Button LED will light up when the EWI5000 detects that you are touching the Program Button.
5.To return to Performance Mode, press the Setup Button until the display is blank.
