Managing Programs

Programs are settings or presets stored in the EWI5000's internal memory. You can switch from one Program to another to change your sound and sensor settings instantly.

There are two banks of Programs: the Preset Bank and the User Bank. In each bank, there are 100 Programs (00–99). By default, the two banks are identical, but you can overwrite User Programs with your own Programs, while the Preset Programs cannot be overwritten.

To view the current Program, simply touch the touch the Program Button (the screw just above the Pitch-Bend Up Plate).

To switch between the Preset Bank and User Bank, simply press the Bank Button. The LED next to the currently selected bank will light up.

Selecting Programs

You can select Programs in one of three ways:

Using the Program Button

Using the Hold Button and/or Interval Button

4.When you see the desired Program in the display, release the Program Button. The Program is now selected.
