 Setting the MIDI Velocity Value

If “vE” is selected as the Breath Sensor output, the EWI4000s will transmit the MIDI Velocity data, which is

controlled by your breath strength. If “vE” is not selected, the EWI4000s will a fixed MIDI Velocity value. You

can set a fixed MIDI Velocity as follows:

1. Press and hold the SETUP BUTTON.

2. Select “vE” (Velocity) by pressing the HOLD BUTTON.

3. Release the SETUP BUTTON. The current MIDI Velocity value will be

shown on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY. You can select a MIDI

velocity between 1 and 127. Only the lower two digits are displayed.

A lit LED on the display means the value shown is over 100.

(Example: If the number “20” is shown and the LED on the display is lit, the MIDI Velocity value is

“120.”)

4. Adjust the fixed MIDI velocity you want by pressing the HOLD BUTTON (which increases the value) or

OCTAVE BUTTON (which decreases the value).

5. Press the TRANS BUTTON.

6. Press the SETUP BUTTON. The EWI4000s will return to the Play Mode.

 Changing the Vibrato Sensor Output to Another MIDI Event

Because the Vibrato Sensor information is mixed with the Pitch Bend information, you can create a pitch-

bending Vibrato effect by biting the Vibrato Sensor in the MOUTHPIECE. Alternately, by mixing the Vibrato

Sensor information with the Breath Sensor information, the Vibrato effect can be created by changing the

sound’s volume and/or character.

1. Press and hold the SETUP BUTTON.

2. Select “vS” (Vibrato Sensor) by pressing the HOLD BUTTON.

3. Release the SETUP BUTTON. “Pb” will be shown on the PROGRAM / DATA

DISPLAY.

4. Select either “Pb” or “bo” by pressing the HOLD BUTTON or

OCTAVE BUTTON. “Pb” indicates the Vibrato Sensor information will

be mixed with the Pitch Bend information. “bo” indicates the Vibrato

Sensor information will be mixed with the Breath Sensor information.

5. Press the TRANS BUTTON. This will select whether the MIDI event will be transmitted or not. If you

choose to transmit it, an LED in the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY will light up.

6. Press the SETUP BUTTON. The EWI4000s will return to the Play Mode.

Note: If you press a button other than the SETUP BUTTON, TRANS BUTTON, HOLD BUTTON, or OCTAVE

BUTTON, your MIDI event setting will be ignored and return to the original setting.

 Setting the Octave Function (Octave Button) on MIDI Transmit

The Octave function is available while the EWI4000s is being used as MIDI controller. While the Octave

function is on, the EWI4000s transmits a note one octave lower than the actual note being played (in addition

to the actual note being played). To use the Octave function on MIDI Transmit, set the OCTAVE BUTTON to

the Octave function. This is described in “Assigning the Octave Function to the Octave Button” in Chapter 3.
