Chapter2: Basic Operation
Mouthpiece
Hold the mouthpiece gently in your mouth with
your teeth, and exhale so that the breath is passed
through both ends of your mouth. The
EWI4000s detects this wind pressure to the
breath sensor and expresses the change in sound
volume and character. The EWI4000s structure
is designed so that a lot of breath is not required
to pass through the instrument, thereby making
the breathing technique for the EWI4000s unique. When you wish to play a sustained
tone, you can keep a long breath and decrease the amount of air you allow to pass from
each ends of your mouth. You can use various breathing techniques depending on the
phrase to express powerful performances.
Vibrato
There is a vibrato sensor in the Mouthpiece. You can produce a vibrato effect by gently
biting the Mouthpiece. Do not bite the Mouthpiece too hard with your teeth, as this
may damage the Mouthpiece and the sensor inside.
Tonguing
You can create small bursts of air by tonguing the mouthpiece for even more expres-
sive control.
Note:
Adjust the S (Sense) knob in BR (Breath) on the EWI4000s, to create different tonguing nuances.
