Calibrating Sensors
The EWI5000's sensors can be adjusted and assigned as described in the Adjusting Sensors
chapter, but we recommend calibrating them, as well. Calibrating the sensors ensures their
sensitivity and response fits your performance style the best.
You can calibrate the following sensors:
Key Delay (Note Keys) and Program Button
Breath Sensor
Glide Plate
Pitch-Bend Plates
Important: The glide plate and pitch-bend plates are all partially associated, so their
sensitivities may need to be adjusted relative to each other. For example, while calibrating the
glide plate, you may want to touch each of the pitch-bend plates to ensure the latter are not
triggering the former.
Tip: It may be useful to test the sensitivity of any of the sensors with a constant breath output.
You can set the EWI5000 to do this at any time during calibration by setting the Breath
Parameter Knob to a high setting so that a dot appears in the display.
For reference, you can see an overview of the entire menu structure of Setup Mode in
Appendix > Menu Structure > Setup Mode.
Key Delay (Note Keys) and Program Button
To calibrate the note keys and Program Button:
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 CL
(Calibration) appears in the display.
3. Release the Setup Button. The display will show the current sensor. Use the Hold
Button or Interval Button to dL (Key Delay).
4. Turn the Chorus Parameter Knob to adjust the note keys' sensitivity. 00 is the lowest
sensitivity, while 99 is the highest.
You can touch the note keys or Program Button to test the setting. The Setup Button
LED will light up when the EWI5000 detects that you are touching a note key. The Trans
Button LED will light up when the EWI5000 detects that you are touching the Program
Button.
5. To return to Performance Mode, press the Setup Button until the display is blank.
