Bottom Panel Functionality
Magnet for Strain-Relief Stand: Attach the Strain-Relief Stand here (with the ‘arms’ facing
forward). Cables may be poked through the slot and hooked around the arms, which will
provide some protection from being accidentally pulled out. We recommend using the stand
any time a cable is plugged in. If the eCorder is rested on its side or upside down, on rare
occasions, after heavy playing, water may be dripping down the bottom and may enter the unit
and temporarily disrupt normal operation, so it’s recommended to keep the top side up and to
periodically remove the mouthpiece and wipe things dry with a soft cloth. Make sure not to
allow water to enter the Pressure Sensor Tube when the mouthpiece is removed.
Key Select buttons and LEDs
The “Key” (pitch of the lowest normal-fingered note) may be selected with the Key Up, Key
‘F’, Key ‘C’ and Key Down (Dn) buttons. The Key will be indicated with a lit LED by the Key
name.
Octave Select buttons and LEDs [Alternate Function: Battery Charge Indicator]
The Octave may be changed with the Octave Up and Down (Dn) buttons, and the currently
selected octave is indicated with the corresponding LED being lit.
[Alternate: in ‘Recal’ mode, the current battery charge state is displayed, starting from the
bottom 8’ LED for 20% charged, and all LEDs lit for full charge]
Pitch Up / Down (Dn) buttons and LEDs [Alternate Function: Breath Sensitivity]
These buttons will adjust the playing pitch up or down by a few cents (up to +/ 60) . The LEDs
will show the current tuning (center is 0, minus is to the left, and plus is to the right).
[Alternate Function: Not implemented yet, but will adjust breath pressure response]
“B” (Thumb) Slider: Depends on Patch.
Battery Compartment Cover Latch: To open the battery compartment, rotate the latch to the
Open (Split-open circle icon) and pull. To re-place, position the latch in the Open position,
press into place, and rotate latch to the Closed (Circle with slot icon) position. If replacing the
battery, be sure to observe correct polarity (+ goes towards the mouthpiece). The battery is a
standard 18650 (without the ‘protection’ circuit, which makes it too long) and if desired, may be
swapped out with another (charged) one. External charger and extra battery not included but
are generally available through third-party sellers.
