ADJUSTING THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SENSORS
To fully use the EWI4000s’s various performance features, you should
properly adjust the breath, glide, bend, and vibrato sensors to your own
performing requirements. Each sensor has been set properly in the factory,
but we recommend adjusting them on your own before playing the
EWI4000s. The SENSOR ADJUSTMENT KNOBS are located under the
cover above the PROGRAM / DATA DISPLAY. Remove the cover as
shown in the drawing.
