Assigning Controls

There are three important settings you should set for your EWI5000: the MIDI channel it will use to send its messages, the function of the Hold Button, and the function of the Interval Button.

Additionally, you can assign the note keys to select specific Programs when you are touching the Program Button. This can make Program selection quick and easy.
