Page 25

Pitch-Bend Plates

To calibrate the pitch-bend plates:

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 PU (Pitch-Bend Up Plate) or Pd (Pitch-Bend Down Plate).

4.You can use the Chorus, LFO, and Reverb Parameter Knobs to adjust the sensor. You can touch the pitch-bend plate to test the setting. The Setup Button LED will light up when the EWI5000 detects you are touching the pitch-bend plate. The Trans Button LED will light up when the pitch-bend plate is at its maximum value.

Turn the Chorus Parameter Knob to adjust the pitch-bend plate's sensitivity. 00 is the lowest sensitivity, while 99 is the highest. We recommend turning this knob while not touching the pitch-bend plate and setting it just below the point where the Setup Button LED lights up.

Turn the LFO Parameter Knob to adjust the pitch-bend plate's dynamic range. 00 is the smallest range, while 99 is the largest. We recommend touching the pitch- bend plate as you would to get a maximum value, and setting this knob just above the point where the Trans Button LED lights up.

Turn the Reverb Parameter Knob to adjust the pitch-bend plate's rate of change. 00 is the lowest rate, while 99 is the highest.

Important: You may want to touch other pitch-bend plate or glide plate to ensure they are not triggering the pitch-bend plate you are adjusting. The glide plate and pitch-bend plates are all partially associated, so their sensitivities may need to be adjusted relative to each other.

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