TRANSPOSE FUNCTION (TRANS BUTTON)

The Transpose function allows you to play the EWI4000s in a transposed key. If you use the Transpose function, the standard “C” position will be transposed to the note you have defined with this setting. (When the EWI4000s is set to the key of C, the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY will be blank, as shown below.)

Pressing the TRANS BUTTON will turn the Transpose function on or off.

While holding the TRANS BUTTON, the current transposition will be shown on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY. At this time, you can adjust the transposition by pressing the HOLD BUTTON (which raises the key) or OCTAVE BUTTON (which lowers the key).

The lowest possible transposition is E. The highest possible transposition is Eb.

TUNING

This section explains how to adjust the tuning of the EWI4000s. This is useful if you ever need to tune to match the EWI4000s’s pitch to other musicians’ instruments.

1.Press and hold the SETUP BUTTON.

2.Select “tu” (Tuning) by pressing the HOLD BUTTON.

3.Release the SETUP BUTTON. The number “40” will be shown on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY. This means the EWI4000s’s tuning system is set to A440 (i.e., the note “A” is set to 440Hz).

4.Set your desired value by pressing the HOLD BUTTON (which increases the value) or OCTAVE BUTTON (which decreases the value). The EWI4000s’s tuning range is 416Hz – 465Hz.

5.Press the SETUP BUTTON. The EWI4000s will return to Play Mode.

Note: If you press a button other than the SETUP BUTTON, HOLD BUTTON, or OCTAVE BUTTON, your Tuning setting will be ignored and return to the original setting.

EDITING THE INTERNAL SOUND WITH YOUR COMPUTER

Parameters of the EWI4000s’s internal sounds and effects cannot be edited or adjusted by the EWI4000s itself, but you can do so by connecting to your computer and using the Sound Editor software for the EWI4000s. The edited sounds and effects will be stored in the EWI4000s.

To edit your internal sounds, connect the EWI4000s to your computer with MIDI cables and download the Sound Editor for the EWI4000s from our web site (http://www.akaipro.com). Refer to our website for more details about this program.
