Breath Sensor
The mouthpiece's breath sensor translates the strength of your breath into the volume and
character of the note you're playing. It's important to set the sensor's sensitivity so it suits
your playing style.
Tip: If this is your first time using the EWI5000, you may want use a "lighter" breath sensor
setting for easier blowing. With practice, you can set this control at a "heavier" setting for a
more expressive performance.
To adjust the breath sensor:
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 bS (Breath
Sensor) appears in the display.
3. Release the Setup Button. The display will show the current mode. Use the Hold Button
