Chapter3: Playing EWI4000s with Internal Sound
Adjusting the Key Delay
The Key Delay function adjusts the response to the Key Touch, when you have unex-
pected sounds while playing the EWI4000s. The key touch response of the EWI4000s is
preset for rather quick fingering. As a result, you may produce unexpected sounds caused
by complex fingering. In this case, you will find that you can play more smoothly by
setting the Key Touch response with the Key Delay function.
1. Press the [SETUP] button.
While pressing the [SETUP] button, “Ad” is shown on the
program/Data display.
2. While pressing the [SETUP] button, se-
lect “dL” (Key Delay) by
pressing the [HOLD] button.
It allows you to select the setup
parameter by pressing the [HOLD] or the [OCT]
button while pressing the [SETUP] button.
3. After selecting “dL”, release the [SETUP]
button.
The currently selected Key delay value will be displayed on the Program/Data display.
4. Adjust to the desired value by pressing the [HOLD] button or the [OCT] button.
As you set a large value, the sounding response will be slow accordingly.
The [HOLD] button works as ( + ), and the [OCT] button works as ( - ).
Note: You can smoothly play notes with a large key delay value. However, it may prevent
you from playing a speedy phrase. Set a value as small as needed.
5. Press the [SETUP] button.
The EWI4000s returns to the “PLAY” mode.
Note: If you press any button except the [SETUP], [HOLD], and [OCT] button, your set-
ting value is ignored and will return back to the original value.
