EWI4000s Manual Addendum v2.3 1

About This Addendum

The EWI4000s operating system is upgradeable and allows us to add new features and make

changes to existing features after it has left the factory floor. Because we’re continuously striving

to make your EWI4000s better, the Reference Manual may not be completely up to date with the

latest features.

All changes affecting the user-interface (i.e., anything the user will see) are listed in this

addendum. Internal optimizations, bug fixes, and other changes that are transparent to the user

are not included in this document.

This addendum covers all changes that have been made since the publishing of the

Reference Manual and covers all changes up to: Version 2.3.

Version 2.0 adds many new features to the EWI4000s. These new features vastly enhance the

performance and MIDI control functions of the EWI. Some of these features change how the

menus and other functions work.

Many of the features in Version 2.0 expand on the Menus of the EWI. All of the new Menu items

are accessible via the [SETUP] button. In order to be able to navigate through these features

better, we have also changed how the Menus work. In previous versions, when you pressed

[MENU] you would start off on the “Ad” adjustment menu. The new software now remembers

the last Menu item that you were editing, so you can navigate and change parameters quickly.

Now, when you press [MENU] you will immediately go to the last item you were editing.

In Version 2.3, we have also added a fourth fingering mode for saxophone players who are

shifting from saxophone to EWI. The Saxophone fingering mode is explained in the Fingering

Modes section of this addendum.

Please read over this manual carefully and refer to it often while you are experimenting with the

added flexibility of the EWI4000s Version 2.3 software.

New Global Commands

All Notes Off - Pressing [SETUP] button at any time now transmits an All Notes Off

message, which will stop any note output from the EWI4000s – you can

use the All Notes Off message to recover from stuck notes.

MIDI Panic - Pressing [FX] and [LEVEL] buttons at the same time now transmits a full

MIDI Panic Message which will reset all controllers and send an All

Notes Off message for each MIDI note (0-127) on the current MIDI channel.
