 Key Delay: Since the EWI USB is electronic and responds to fingering input much faster than an acoustic instrument,

you may find it plays extra notes. This Key Delay setting determines the reaction time of the EWI USB’s note keys. A

higher setting will result in a slower key response. (For beginners, we recommend a higher setting to reduce the number

of note “glitches.” Most intermediate players can play much cleaner with a setting of 10–12.)

Performance Controls:

 Reset: Restores the default EWI

Configuration.

 Load: Loads only the Performance Control

data only from a previously saved SysEx

file. If the file was saved in Aria, it will

contain both Performance Control and

Controller Configuration data, but only the

Performance Control data will load here.

 Save: Saves the current Performance

Control and Controller Configuration data

together as a SysEx file. This will save only

the settings in the Performance Controls

and Controller Configuration tabs. Because

Aria can save so many different SysEx files (which affect different settings), be specific when naming your saved files so

you can recognize what kinds of settings (and, therefore, where you can load it) in the future.

 MIDI Channel: When an instrument’s channel is set to its own number (instead of -OMNI-), match this MIDI Channel

with that number to hear that instrument. The number of the MIDI Channel setting must match the number of the

instrument’s channel in order for you to hear it. (Any channels set to -OMNI- will be heard regardless of the MIDI

Channel setting.) See Channel under the CHANNELS OVERVIEW section (below) for more information.

 Transpose: Transposes the notes played by the EWI USB, essentially changing the “concert” key. You may transpose

as much as an octave higher (+12 semitones) or an octave lower (-12 semitones). This makes it easier to play music

written for an instrument in a different key.

 Fingering: Determines the fingering configuration of the EWI USB in the software. See the FINGERING CHARTS in the

EWI USB Quickstart Manual for more information.

Controller Configuration:

 Reset: Restores the default EWI

Configuration.

 Load: Loads only the Controller

Configuration data from a previously saved

SysEx file. If the file was saved in Aria, it will

contain both Performance Control and

Controller Configuration data, but only the

Controller Configuration data will load here.

 Save: Saves the current Performance

Control and Controller Configuration data

together as a SysEx file. This will save only

the settings in the Performance Controls and

Controller Configuration tabs. Because Aria

can save so many different SysEx files (which affect different settings), be specific when naming your saved files so you

can recognize what kinds of settings (and, therefore, where you can load it) in the future.

 Breath CC1: Determines what MIDI data the EWI USB’s breath sensor sends. The default is “Breath Controller

(coarse).” The software is set to have its instruments respond to this setting, so if you change this, the instruments in the

software will not respond correctly.

 Breath CC2: Determines what MIDI data the EWI USB’s breath sensor sends.

The default is “Aftertouch.” Some of the instruments in the software are set to

respond to Aftertouch, so if you change this, the instruments may not respond

correctly.

 Bite CC1: Determines what MIDI data the EWI USB’s bite sensor controls

(see Performance Controls above). The default is “Pitchbend Down-Up”

(vibrato).

 Bite CC2: Determines what MIDI data the EWI USB’s bite sensor controls

(see Performance Controls above). The default is “OFF.”

 Velocity: Specifies the velocity of notes sent from the EWI USB to the

software (that is, how hard the “attack” of a note is – not volume). The default

is “Dynamic.”

 Pitchbend Up Control: Determines what MIDI data the EWI USB’s pitch bend-up plate controls. The default is

“Pitchbend Up.”

 Pitchbend Down Control: Determines what MIDI data the EWI USB’s pitch bend-down plate controls. The default is

“Pitchbend Down.”

Note

More advanced MIDI

users might experiment with the

CC assignments while using the

EWI USB in other software. But

for beginners, we recommend

sticking to the default

configurations in Aria (especially

the default Breath CC1 and

Breath CC2 assignments) since

they are the most “intuitive” to

use with the EWI USB.
