Akai EWI5000 manual Using Effects FX, To edit the Reverb effect

Using Effects (FX)

You can use the EWI5000's FX Menu to apply and edit three different effects to its audio output: Reverb, Chorus, and Delay.

Important: Your EWI5000's audio output must be enabled to edit its effects. If you are using it as a MIDI controller only (its Preset LED or User LED is flashing), enable its audio output by pressing and holding the Power Button until its Preset LED or User LED is lit solid.

To enter the FX Menu, press and hold the FX Button, and then use the Hold Button and Interval Button to select rb (Reverb), ch (Chorus), or dL (Delay). Release the FX Button to edit that effect's parameters, described below in each section.

To exit the FX Menu, press the FX Button once.

Learn more about setting the parameters for the Reverb, Chorus, and Delay effects in this chapter.

Reverb

Reverb is a spatial effect, simulating the nuanced reverberation of sound in the space of a particular room.

To edit the Reverb effect:

1.Press and hold the FX Button, and then use the Hold Button and Interval Button to select rb (Reverb).

2.Release the FX Button. The effect level will appear in the display.

3.To set the effect level, use the Hold Button and Interval Button (00–99).

Tip: You can also set the effect level by using EWI5000's Reverb Parameter Knob.

To select another parameter to edit, or press and hold the Trans Button or Level Button, use the Hold Button and Interval Button to select the parameter, and then release the Trans Button or Level Button:

•ut (Wet/Dry): This determines the blend between the "wet" (affected) and "dry" (unaffected) signal. 00 is all dry, and 99 is all wet, while 50 is approximately an equal mix of both.

•dP (Damping): This determines how much higher frequencies are absorbed by the simulated room as the reverbating sound decays over the time. At 00, no high frequencies are absorbed, allowing for their maximum decay time. A setting of 99 results in the most absorption of higher frequencies, creating a warmer sound.

•ud (Width): This determines the width of the stereo image generated by the reverb. 00 produces the narrowest stereo image, while 99 produces the widest.

•rS (Room Size): This determines the size of the room that the reverb will simulate. 00 corresponds to a small room size, while 99 corresponds to a large one.

4.Press the FX Button once to exit the FX Menu.
