Akai EWI5000 manual

•Lt (Legato Time): The glide plate will send its messages using CC #104, which the EWI5000 uses for Legato Time. This is the time during which a note ends as a new note begins. Shorter times will result in more abrupt changes between notes, while longer times will result in more fluid changes that sound almost slurred. (This is different from portamento, though, as Legato Time does not shift the pitch of any notes.)

If you select this, press the Trans Button to set additional parameters:

oEn (Enable): This determines whether CC #104 output is enabled or disabled. If you select this, press and hold the Trans Button, and press the Hold Button or Interval Button to turn it on (On) or off (OF). When it is on, a dot will appear in the display.

odU (Data-Up):The value that will be sent with the CC message when you are not touching the glide plate. Press and hold the Trans Button, and then use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value (00–127; values over 99 will be shown as the last two digits with a dot between them).

odP (Data-Press):The value that will be sent with the CC message when you touch the glide plate. Press and hold the Trans Button, and then use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value (00–127; values over 99 will be shown as the last two digits with a dot between them).

•CC (Continuous Controller): The glide plate will send a MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) message. If you select this, press the Trans Button to set additional message parameters:

oEn (Enable): This determines whether CC output is enabled or disabled. If you select this, press and hold the Trans Button, and press the Hold Button or Interval Button to turn it on (On) or off (OF). When it is on, a dot will appear in the display.

oCn (Controller Number): This is the CC number that will be sent when you touch the glide plate. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the CC number (01–127; values over 99 will be shown as the last two digits with a dot between them). Match this number to the CC number of the parameter you want to control.

Important: We recommend setting En to off (OF) before changing this parameter to prevent accidentally muting the EWI5000's output while moving through CC #7 (Volume).

odU (Data-Up):The value that will be sent with the CC message when you are not touching the glide plate. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value (00–127; values over 99 will be shown as the last two digits with a dot between them).

odP (Data-Press):The value that will be sent with the CC message when you touch the glide plate. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value (00–127; values over 99 will be shown as the last two digits with a dot between them).
