Glide Plate
The EWI5000's glide plate lets you use a glide effect called portamento to move between
notes for greater expressiveness in your performance. Alternatively, you can set the glide plate
to send messages for other individual MIDI Continuous Controllers (CCs).
Important:
Make sure PS is on if you want to use the portamento effect. The EWI5000's synth needs this
setting to be enabled in order for portamento to work properly.
Some sound modules may not handle portamento messages well, which could generate some
undesirable sounds. If this is the case, make sure PS is off.
To set the function of the glide plate:
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 GL (Glide
Plate) appears in the display.
3. Release the Setup Button. The display will show the current mode. Use the Hold Button
or Interval Button to select any of the following options:
Pt (Portamento Time): The glide plate will send its messages using CC #5, which is
portamento time. If you select this, press the Trans Button to set additional
parameters:
o En (Enable): This determines whether CC #5 output is enabled or disabled. If
you select this, press and hold the Trans Button, and press the Hold Button
or Interval Button to turn it on (On) or off (OF). When it is on, a dot will appear
in the display.
o dU (Data-Up): The value that will be sent with the CC message when you are
not touching the glide plate. Press and hold the Trans Button, and then use
the Hold Button or Interval Button to set the value (00127; values over 99 will
be shown as the last two digits with a dot between them).
o dP (Data-Press): The value that will be sent with the CC message when you
touch the glide plate. Press and hold the Trans Button, and then use the Hold
Button or Interval Button to set the value (00127; values over 99 will be
shown as the last two digits with a dot between them).
Important: Make sure PS is on if you want to use the portamento effect. The
EWI5000's synth needs this setting to be enabled in order for portamento to work
properly.
PS (Portamento Switch): The glide plate will send its messages using CC #65.
Press the Trans Button to turn it on or off. When it is on, a dot will appear in the
display.
Important: Turn this on if you want to use the portamento effect. The EWI5000's
synth needs this setting to be enabled in order for portamento to work properly.
