2.2.10 COMMON SECTION
The common section contains a number of miscellaneous parameters that control
the EWI 4000s’ general behavior when the preset is loaded.
KEY TRIGGER
• SINGLE: The envelope is only controlled by breath articulation.
• MULTI: The envelope (sweep) of each new note is re-triggered, even while your
breath is continuous through the transition.
You can get a good idea on how this parameter works by setting a long sweep time
in the filter section, apply sustained breath to the EWI 4000s and play a sequence of
notes to see the difference with SINGLE selected and then repeat with MULTI
selected.
OCT BUTTON LEVEL
• Range is 0% to 100%. Controls the level of the second voice that is played when
the EWI 4000s’ OCT mode is enabled by pressing the OCT button on the instru-
ment.
BEND RANGE
• Range is 0 to 12 semitones. Sets the pitch interval shifted up or down when the
EWI 4000s’ BEND UP or BEND DOWN keys are touched.
STEP
• Off or On. When enabled, this button causes pitch bends to be semitone stepped
when the EWI 4000s’ BEND UP or BEND DOWN keys are touched. If STEP is
disabled, pitch bends will glide to their destination.
VIBRATO PITCH
• Range is 0% to 100%. Controls the amount of the pitch modulation (Vibrato)
that is applied to the sound when the bite sensor in the EWI 4000s mouthpiece is
activated.
VIBRATO AMP
• Range is 0% to 100%. Controls the amount of the volume modulation (Tremolo)
that is applied to the sound when the bite sensor in the EWI 4000s mouthpiece is
activated.
