Breath Sensor

To calibrate the breath sensor:

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 bS (Breath Sensor).

4.You can use the Chorus, LFO, and Reverb Parameter Knobs to adjust the sensor. You can also blow into the mouthpiece to test the setting. The Setup Button LED will light up when the EWI5000 detects your breath in the mouthpiece. The Trans Button LED will light up when the breath sensor is at its maximum value.

Turn the Chorus Parameter Knob to adjust the breath sensor's sensitivity. 00 is the lowest sensitivity, while 99 is the highest. We recommend turning this knob while not blowing into the mouthpiece and setting it just below the point where the Setup Button LED lights up.

Turn the LFO Parameter Knob to adjust the breath sensor's dynamic range. 00 is the smallest range, while 99 is the largest. We recommend blowing into the mouthpiece with your "maximum" force and setting this knob just above the point where the Trans Button LED lights up.

Turn the Reverb Parameter Knob to adjust the breath sensor's rate of change. 00 is the lowest rate, while 99 is the highest.

5.To return to Performance Mode, press the Setup Button until the display is blank.
