EWI4000s Manual Addendum v2.3 9

Pitch Bend

The pitch bend up and down control parameters can now be set to transmit individual

MIDI Continuous Controllers. This allows for many new expressive control options

when controlling a MIDI module or soft synthesizer. You can now send pitch bend

and/or a separate MIDI CC message. Version 2.0 now allows you to set these

individually for both the pitch bend up and pitch bend down sensors.

SETTING PITCH BEND UP:

Press the [SETUP] button.

Use the [HOLD] and [OCT] buttons to select ‘PU’ (Pitch Bend Up) menu shown on

the program/data display.

After selecting ‘PU’, release the [SETUP] button.

You can now scroll through and select different Pitch Bend Up options using the

[HOLD] and [OCT] buttons to move through the menu.

PITCH BEND UP OPTIONS:

Pb – (pitch bend) – Default – ENABLED

While in ‘PU’, this option will enable and disable the transmission of MIDI

pitch bend messages. If you disable it, the pitch bend up sensor will not

transmit MIDI pitch bend information if you use it while you are playing.

1. Press the [TRANS] button to enable bend up control from the Bend

up/down plate. You will see a small dot light up between the ‘P’ and ‘b’

to show that it is enabled. Press the [TRANS] button again to disable it.

CC – (continuous controller) – Default CC#48 –

DISABLED

Select this option if you would like the pitch bend up sensor to transmit

MIDI continuous controller (CC) information.

1. While ‘CC’ is selected, press the [TRANS] button to enable the

transmission of MIDI CC data. You will see a small dot light up

between the ‘C’ and ‘C’ to show that it is enabled. Pressing the

[TRANS] button again will disable it.

2. Press and hold the [TRANS] button to view the MIDI CC number

which the bend up control will transmit.

3. While pressing the [TRANS] button, you can use the [HOLD] and

[OCT] buttons to increment and decrement the CC number.
