Fingering Modes
The EWI5000 lets you select from different fingering modes to accommodate different styles of
playing.
To select a fingering mode:
1. Press and hold the Setup Button to enter Setup Mode.
2. Use the Hold Button or Interval Button to scroll through the options until Fn (Fingering)
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:
EI (Standard EWI): This is the standard fingering for the EWI5000, based on the
fingering of conventional woodwind instruments.
SA (Saxophone): This fingering resembles that of a standard saxophone. In this
mode, the EWI will ignore fingers that are two notes below the highest note.
FL (Flute): This fingering resembles that of a standard C flute, though flutists will
have to familiarize themselves with a few new fingerings to properly adapt their
performance to the EWI5000.
Ob (Oboe): This fingering resembles that of a standard oboe, though oboists will
have to familiarize themselves with a few new fingerings to properly adapt their
performance to the EWI5000.
Eu (Standard EVI*): EVI stands for electric valve instrument. This fingering may be
useful to players who wish to use fingerings closer to those of a brass instrument.
Er (EVI with reversed octave rollers): This fingering most closely resembles the
movement of the left wrist on an actual EVI (recommended mostly for experienced
EVI players).
4. Press the Setup Button to return to Performance Mode.
Please refer to Appendix > Fingering Charts to see the differences between the various
fingering modes.
For reference, you can see an overview of the entire menu structure of Setup Mode in
Appendix > Menu Structure > Setup Mode.
