Features

1.Mouthpiece: Hold the mouthpiece gently in between your lips with your teeth and exhale into it (like a traditional wind instrument). You can produce a vibrato effect by gently biting the mouthpiece while blowing into it, but do not bite too hard.

2.Note Keys: Press these keys in different combinations while blowing into the mouthpiece to determine the note. You can adjust the position of the three lowest note keys by loosening their screws.

3.Hold Button: Press this button to enter Hold Mode. By default, Hold Mode is set to Legato (LE); the first note of a phrase will sustain while you play subsequent notes.

While in Setup Mode, use this button to move "up" by one value or setting.

4.Interval Button: Press this button to enter Interval Mode. By default, this is set to Fixed Interval (Fd); when you play a note, that note and the note at the assigned interval will sound (an octave below, by default).

While in Setup Mode, use this button to move "down" by one value or setting.

5.Parameter Knobs: These eight knobs control some of the basic characteristics of either the Program or the EWI5000 itself.

6.Display: Shows the Program number or the setting value.

7.Setup Button: Press and hold this button to enter Setup Mode. Its LED will light up when you are in Setup Mode.

While in Setup Mode, use this button to return to a "higher" menu or submenu.

8.Trans (Transpose) Button: Press this button to activate or deactivate the transposition function. Its LED will light up when transposition is activated. To adjust the transposition value, press and hold this button and press the Hold Button to increase it or the Interval Button to decrease it.

To access the Parameter Knobs' secondary functions, press and hold this button before turning the knobs.
