In an External MIDI Sound Module or Software
You can use the EWI5000 to send a MIDI Program Change message to a connected external
MIDI sound module or to software on a connected computer. To do this, follow the same
steps as described above. When you select a new Program on the EWI5000, it sends a MIDI
Program Change message of the same number to your external sound module.
In order to do this properly, configure the settings described below.

or Interval Button to select any of the following options:

touch a note key assigned to a Program to send the Program Change message. (To
assign Programs to the note keys, please see

Trans Button to turn it on or off. When it is on, a dot will appear in the display.

its USB Port and MIDI Out. When this is off, the EWI5000 will not send any Program
Change messages externally. Press the Trans Button to turn it on or off. When it is
on, a dot will appear in the display.
