 Adjusting the Vibrato Sensor

By gently biting on the MOUTHPIECE, you can produce a

vibrato effect. This section explains how to adjust the vibrato

sensor.

1. Set the “A” (Adjust) knob in the “VB” (Vibrato) section to

the center position.

2. While playing a long tone on the EWI4000s, bite the

MOUTHPIECE lightly. The sensor is properly adjusted

if you get the vibrato effect while biting the

MOUTHPIECE.

3. If you feel the vibrato is not set for your particular

playing style, turn the “A” (Adjust) knob clockwise and

try it again.

Note: The vibrato effect is obtained by biting the Mouthpiece many times rather than a single steady bite.

 Adjusting the Glide Sensor

This section explains how to adjust the glide sensor.

1. Set the “T” (Time) knob in the “GL” (Glide) section to

the center position. If you turn the “A” (Adjust) knob

clockwise, the Glide indicator should light up. If you

turn the “A” (Adjust) knob counterclockwise, the

indicator should go off.

2. When the Glide indicator’s LED is lit, turn the “A”

(Adjust) knob slightly counterclockwise until the

indicator LED goes off.

3. Play the EWI4000s and move your thumb across the

Glide plate (while touching the OCTAVE SHIFT

ROLLERS). You should hear the glide (or portamento)

effect when you change from one note to another.

4. To confirm the proper glide sensor setting, change the

octave with the OCTAVE SHIFT ROLLERS while

playing. The pitch of the sound should slide slowly, not quickly. If you wish to make the slide time

longer, turn the “T” (Time) knob clockwise. To shorten the slide time, turn it counterclockwise. You can

set the “Time” or “Rate” of the glide’s pitch shift. (See SETTING THE GLIDE EFFECT TIME & RATE

for more information.)

Note: After adjusting the “T” (Time) knob, you will need to adjust the “A” (Adjust) knob again.
