CHAPTER 3: INTERNAL SOUND

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.
