PROGRAM KEY FUNCTIONS

Selecting the Internal Sounds (Program Key)

The EWI4000s has 100 internal preset sounds called Programs. You can switch between Programs by selecting Program numbers.

1.Without touching any NOTE KEYS, press and hold the PROGRAM KEY. The current Program number is displayed on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY as you are touching the PROGRAM KEY. (If you release the PROGRAM KEY, the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY will return to its previous state.)

Note: If you touch any NOTE KEYS, the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY will show the Program number assigned to that specific NOTE KEY, not the currently selected Program number.

2.While holding in the PROGRAM KEY, you can select a new Program number by pressing the HOLD BUTTON, which works as “+” (increase) button, or the OCTAVE BUTTON, which works as “–” (decrease) button.

3.The sound will change to match the currently displayed Program number after you release the PROGRAM KEY.

Assigning a Program Number to a Note Key

You can change the Program number directly by touching the NOTE KEYS after assigning a Program number to the NOTE KEYS. Instead of increasing/decreasing the Program numbers with the HOLD BUTTON or OCTAVE BUTTON, this feature allows you to access other Programs quickly during live performances.

1.Select the Program number you wish to assign to the NOTE KEY as described in “Selecting the Internal Sounds (Program)” section above.

2.While holding in the PROGRAM KEY, press the SETUP BUTTON. The selected Program number will blink on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY.

3.Touch the NOTE KEY you wish to assign to the selected program.

4.Blow into the MOUTHPIECE. The selected Program will be assigned to the NOTE KEY you are touching.

This feature can be used a few different ways, which are explained in the SETTING PROGRAM CHANGE PREFERENCES section below.
