Adjusting the Touch Sensors
The EWI4000s uses Touch Sensor keys, not mechanical
switches. Typically, there is no need to adjust the Touch
Sensor sensitivity because it is adjusted at the factory. If
there are significant changes in temperature or humidity (or
static electricity), though, the sensors may not respond
correctly (e.g. the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY may show
other numbers while in Play Mode instead of showing the
correct Program number). In these cases, you may need to
adjust the touch sensor sensitivity.
1. While in Play Mode, touch the NOTE KEYS K1, K2,
and K3 (see the FINGERING CHART for details), the
GROUNDING PLATE, and the OCTAVE SHIFT
ROLLERS. Do not touch the PROGRAM KEY.
2. If there are numbers shown on the PROGRAM /
DATA DISPLAY, turn the TOUCH SENSOR
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT KNOB clockwise until
the numbers disappear. If there are no numbers on
the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY, turn the knob
counterclockwise until numbers are shown, then turn it
clockwise until the they disappear, and then turn it
slightly clockwise again. Be sure that no number is
shown on the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY if you
touch several NOTE KEYS simultaneously.
A Note About Adjusting Your Sensors
Though adjusting the sensors is seemingly complicated,
proper key sensitivity is essential to the EWI4000s’s
functionality. Plus, you can play with much more expression
and precision if you adjust the sensors to match your style.
Once you adjust the sensors to your liking, you won’t need to
adjust them every time you play unless its sensitivity is
changed by circumstances such as temperature. In this
case, simply adjust the sensors again.
If you are just beginning with the EWI4000s, you may want
to set the breath sensor lightly (by turning the “S” (Sense)
knob in the clockwise direction) for easier blowing. With
practice, you can set this control at a “heavier” setting for a
more expressive performance. The EWI4000s is a musical
instrument much like other acoustic instruments, so the more
you practice, the better you will play. At first, you may find
playing the EWI4000s challenging, but we believe you will
find it to be a fantastic instrument with unlimited possibilities.
There are no hard and fast rules for playing it, and we encourage you to find your own playing style.
