Interval Button

When you press the Interval Button, the EWI5000 will enter Interval Mode, which will cause an additional note—at a particular interval—to sound above or below the fingered note, creating a harmonized sound.

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 In (Interval) appears in the display.

3.Release the Setup Button. The display will show the current mode. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to select any of the following options:

•OF (Off): The Interval Button will be disabled.

•Fd (Fixed Interval Mode): Pressing the Interval Button will let you play a harmony note at an interval you set here. Deactivate Interval Mode by pressing the Interval Button again.

If you select this, press and hold the Trans Button, and then use the Hold Button and Interval Button to set the interval in semitones (-24to +24).
