FINGERING MODES
The EWI4000s offers several different fingering modes to accommodate different styles of playing. The
following steps explain how to set or change the fingering mode of the EWI4000s to suit your needs.
1. Press and hold the SETUP BUTTON.
2. Press the HOLD BUTTON or OCTAVE BUTTON to scroll through the options until “Fn”
(Fingering) is shown in the PROGRAM DATA / DISPLAY.
3. Release the SETUP BUTTON. The PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY will display the current mode. Use
the HOLD BUTTON or OCTAVE BUTTON to select any of the following options:
a. “EI” (standard EWI fingering): This is the standard fingering system for the EWI4000s. This is
based on the fingering of conventional woodwind instruments.
b. “SA” (Saxophone fingering): This fingering closely represents the fingerings of a standard
saxophone. (In this mode, the EWI will ignore fingers that are two notes below the highest note.)
c. “FL” (Flute fingering): This fingering closely represents the fingerings of a standard C flute.
There are, however, a couple new fingerings that flutists will have to familiarize themselves with
to properly adapt their performance to the EWI4000s.
d. “Ob” (Oboe fingering): This fingering closely represents the fingerings of a standard oboe.
e. “Ev” (EVI fingering): “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.
f. “Er” (EVI fingering with reversed OCTAVE SHIFT ROLLERS): This fingering most closely
duplicates the movement of the left wrist on an actual EVI. We recommend this mode for
experienced EVI players.
4. Press the SETUP BUTTON. The EWI4000s will return to Play Mode.
Please refer to the FINGERING CHARTS section to see the differences between the various fingering
modes.
