b.“CC” (Continuous Controller): Press the TRANS BUTTON to enable the transmission of MIDI CC data whenever you touch the GLIDE PLATE. A dot LED will light up on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY to indicate this function is enabled. Press the TRANS BUTTON again to disable it. You can adjust the CC number by holding down the TRANS BUTTON and pressing the HOLD BUTTON or OCTAVE BUTTON to decrease or increase the number, respectively. In order to use the GLIDE PLATE to create the glide effect, however, this must be set to CC #5.
4.Press the SETUP BUTTON. The EWI4000s will return to Play Mode.
Setting the Glide Effect Time & Rate
This section explains how to set either the Time or Rate as constant during pitch shifting with the GLIDE PLATE.
When Rate is selected, the speed of the pitch shift will remain constant, regardless of the range of the pitch shift. If the pitch shift range is narrow, it shifts the pitch for a short time. If the pitch shift range is wide, it shifts the pitch for a long time.
When Time is selected, the time of the pitch shift will remain constant, regardless of the range of the pitch shift. If the pitch shift range is narrow, it shifts the pitch slowly. If the pitch shift range is wide, it shifts the pitch quickly.
1.Press and hold the SETUP BUTTON.
2.Select “GL” (Glide) by pressing the HOLD BUTTON.
3.After selecting “GL”, release the SETUP BUTTON.
4.Select either “r” (Rate) or “t” (Time) by pressing the HOLD BUTTON or
OCTAVE BUTTON.
5.Press the SETUP BUTTON. The EWI4000s will return to Play Mode.
ADJUSTING THE KEY DELAY
The Key Delay function adjusts the response of the keys. The EWI4000s’s key response is preset to accommodate rather quick fingering. As a result, you may occasionally produce unexpected sounds. In this case, you may find that you can play more smoothly by adjusting the Key Delay.
1.Press and hold the SETUP BUTTON.
2.Select “dL” (Key Delay) by pressing the HOLD BUTTON.
3.Release the SETUP BUTTON. The currently selected Key Delay value will be displayed on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY.
4.Set your desired value by pressing the HOLD BUTTON (which increases the value) or OCTAVE BUTTON (which decreases the value).
Note: You can play notes more smoothly with a larger Key Delay value, but it may prevent you from playing quickly. We recommend setting as small a value as possible.
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 Key Delay value will be ignored and return to the original value.
