PITCH BEND PLATE FUNCTIONS

When you press either of the PITCH BEND PLATES, the EWI4000s will bend the pitch of the note you are

playing, allowing you to be more expressive with your performance. Alternately, you can set the PITCH

BEND PLATES to transmit data for individual MIDI Continuous Controllers.

you bend the pitch of the note you are playing while pressing the PITCH BEND PLATE. A dot

LED will light up on the PROGRAM / DATADISPLAY to indicate Pitch Bend is enabled. Press the

The EWI4000s’s GLIDE PLATE lets you use portamento or a glide effect to move between notes for greater

expressiveness in your performance. Alternately, you can set the GLIDE PLATE to transmit data for

individual MIDI Continuous Controllers.

enables the sending of MIDI CC #65 (Portamento On/Off). Some modules may need this

message to enable or disable portamento, though the EWI4000s and most modules do not need

this. A dot LED will light up on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY to indicate Pedal Switch is

enabled. Press the TRANS BUTTON again to disable it.
