Chapter4: Using the EWI4000s as a MIDI Controller
Setting the MIDI Velocity value
In the case that the “vE” is selected on the setting of the Breath Sensor
output, the EWI4000s transmits the MIDI Velocity being changed by
your breath strength. If the “VE” is not selected on the setting of the
Breath Sensor output, the EWI4000s transmits a fixed MIDI Velocity value. You can
set a fixed MIDI Velocity as follows.
1. Press the [SETUP] button.
While pressing the [SETUP] button, “Ad” is
shown on the Program/Data display.
2. While continuing to press the [SETUP]
button, select “vE” (Velocity) by press-
ing the [HOLD] button.
It allows you to select the setup parameter by
pressing the [HOLD] button or the [OCT] but-
ton while pressing the [SETUP] button.
3. After selecting “vE”, release the [SETUP] button.
The current MIDI Velocity value will be shown on the Program/Data
display. The range of the selectable MIDI velocity is between 1 and 127,
and the value of only the lower two digits are shown on the display. A lit
LED “dot” on the display means a value over 100, for example, a “20” and a lit LED
“dot” on the display means “120”.
4. Select the fixed MIDI velocity you wish by pressing the [HOLD] button or
the [OCT] button, and then press the [TRANS] button.
4. Press the [SETUP] button.
The EWI4000s returns to the “PLAY” mode.
