Adjusting Sensors
The EWI5000 has been given optimal default settings, but we recommend adjusting them to
your preference to get the most out of your performance. You can customize these settings in
Setup Mode.
To enter Setup Mode, press the Setup Button. The display will indicate the current setting.
Though adjusting the settings may seem complicated, you won't need to it every time you
perform. The values you set are essential to the EWI5000's functionality, and your
performance will be much more expressive and precise when the settings match your playing
style. Once you adjust everything to your preference, you won't need to adjust anything much
further.
You can adjust the following sensors. Click one of them to skip to that part of the chapter.
Note Delay (Note Keys) Pitch-Bend Plates
Breath Sensor Glide Plate
Bite Sensor
We also recommend seeing the Calibrating Sensors chapter. Calibrating the sensors ensures
their sensitivity and response fits your performance style the best.
For reference, you can see an overview of the entire menu structure of Setup Mode in
Appendix > Menu Structure > Setup Mode.
Note Delay (Note Keys)
The Note Delay function adjusts the response of the note keys. The EWI5000's note key
response is preset to accommodate rapid changes in fingerings, but you may occasionally
produce unexpected sounds, depending on your playing style. In this case, you may find that
you can play more smoothly by adjusting the Note Delay.
To adjust the Note Delay:
1. Press and hold the Setup Button to enter Setup Mode.
2. Press the Hold Button or Interval Button to scroll through the options until dL (Note
Delay) appears in the display.
3. Release the Setup Button. The current Note Delay value will appear in the display.
4. Set your desired value by pressing the Hold Button (to increase the value) or Interval
Button (to decrease the value).
Tip: You can play notes more smoothly with a larger Note Delay value, but it may prevent
you from playing quickly. We recommend setting as small a value as possible.
5. Press the Setup Button to return to Performance Mode.
Tip: You can assign the note keys to select specific Programs when you are touching the
Program Button. This can make Program selection quick and easy. Please see Managing
Programs > Selecting Programs > Using the Note Keys to learn how to do this.
