[. . . ] MANUAL ADDENDUM v2. 3 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.

EWI4000s Manual Addendum v2. 3 11 Glide Strip Control The EWI4000s now allows the ability to change the MIDI control change (CC) value that can be transmitted via the Glide sensor strip. This sensor can now work as a MIDI continuous controller and/or a MIDI ON/OFF switch. You can independently enable or disable either of these functions. The default values for the switch parameter is MIDI CC#65, Portamento ON/OFF. The default value for the Continuous Controller function is MIDI CC# 05. NOTE ­ if you change the MIDI CC to a value other than 05, the internal synthesizer's glide function will be disabled. SETTING PORTAMENTO CONTROL PREFERENCES: Press the [SETUP] button. Use the [HOLD] and [OCT] buttons to select "Po" (Portamento) menu shown on the program/data display. After selecting "Po", release the [SETUP] button. You can now scroll through and select from the two different Portamento options using the [HOLD] and [OCT] buttons to move through the menu. OPTIONS: PS ­ (pedal switch) This option allows you to use the Glide strip sensor as a Portamento On/Off switch (CC#65) or a general MIDI On/Off switch. While selecting `PS', you can enable and disable the switch and also change its controller number. While selecting `PS', press the [TRANS] button to enable or disable the transmission of On/Off messages. You will see a small dot light up between the `P' and `S' to show that it is enabled. To disable it, press the [TRANS] button again. [. . . ] Key 1 takes the place of the canister index finger button on an EVI. Touching it lowers the pitch a fourth (-5 half steps). Think of this Key as the 4th valve on some brass instruments or the left hand thumb attachment on a trombone. Key 2 is a non-functioning key and acts as a "barrier" to help prevent glitches. 16 EWI4000s Manual Addendum v2. 3 EWI4000s EVI mode Fingering Charts Touch the keys filled in. [. . . ]
