Breath Sensor
To calibrate the breath sensor:
1. Press and hold the Setup Button to enter Setup Mode.
2. Press the Hold Button or Interval Button to scroll through the options until CL
(Calibration) appears in the display.
3. Release the Setup Button. The display will show the current sensor. Use the Hold
Button or Interval Button to bS (Breath Sensor).
4. You can use the Chorus, LFO, and Reverb Parameter Knobs to adjust the sensor. You
can also blow into the mouthpiece to test the setting. The Setup Button LED will light up
when the EWI5000 detects your breath in the mouthpiece. The Trans Button LED will
light up when the breath sensor is at its maximum value.
• Turn the Chorus Parameter Knob to adjust the breath sensor's sensitivity. 00 is the
lowest sensitivity, while 99 is the highest. We recommend turning this knob while not
blowing into the mouthpiece and setting it just below the point where the Setup
Button LED lights up.
• Turn the LFO Parameter Knob to adjust the breath sensor's dynamic range. 00 is
the smallest range, while 99 is the largest. We recommend blowing into the
mouthpiece with your "maximum" force and setting this knob just above the point
where the Trans Button LED lights up.
• Turn the Reverb Parameter Knob to adjust the breath sensor's rate of change. 00
is the lowest rate, while 99 is the highest.
5. To return to Performance Mode, press the Setup Button until the display is blank.
