Hold Mode

The functionality of the EWI4000s Hold Mode has been expanded to include several

additional Hold Mode options.

SETTING HOLD MODE:

Press the [SETUP] button.

Use the [HOLD] and [OCT] buttons to select “Ho” (Hold) menu shown on the

program/data display.

After selecting “Ho”, release the [SETUP] button.

You can now scroll through and select different Hold Mode options to edit using the

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

HOLD MODE OPTIONS NOW INCLUDE:

OF – (off)

Select ‘OF’ to disable the [HOLD] button. When you press the [HOLD]

button while you are playing will have no affect at all.

Le – (Hold Mode, legato) – default

Select ‘Le’ to activate Hold Mode (legato). You can engage Hold Mode by

pressing the [HOLD] button. Disengage it by pressing the [HOLD] button a

second time.

USING LEGATO HOLD MODE:

1. To hold a note in Le mode, press the [HOLD] button first.

2. The first note you play after the [HOLD] button has been pressed will

hold. Now you can play over this first note. Each of the notes played

after the held note will be played in a regular fashion (Note Off message

at the end of each note) and the held note will be held until the phrase

ends and you stop breath.

3. When you start a new phrase, the first note of that new phrase will now

hold.

nL – (Hold Mode, non-legato)

Select ‘nL’ to activate Hold Mode (non-legato). While you are playing, you

can then engage and disengage the Hold Mode with the [HOLD] button.

USING NON-LEGATO HOLD MODE:

2. While you are playing the note, press [HOLD] button.

3. Now you can play over the first note. Each of the notes played after the

held note will be played in a regular fashion (Note Off message at the

end of each note) and the held note will be held until you deactivate the

[HOLD] button by pressing it again.
