Hold Button

When you press the Hold Button, the EWI5000 will enter Hold Mode, which allows you to play and hold a note and then play another note or melody line over that held note. The held note will remain as long as you are playing a legato phrase. When you end the phrase or articulate a new phrase, the original held note will end, and the new note will then become the held note.

To set the function of the Hold 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 Ho (Hold) appears in the display.

•LE (Legato Hold Mode): Pressing the Hold Button before playing a note will activate Hold Mode. The first note you play (or are currently playing) after pressing the Hold Button will be held out even as you continue play different notes after that using the same breath. Starting a new phrase (i.e., taking a breath and blowing into the mouthpiece again) will result in a new held note. Deactivate Hold Mode by pressing the Hold Button again.
