Bend UP / DOWN
By touching your thumb to the Bend up/down plate
(while the Earth plate is also touched), you can obtain a
pitch bend effect (moving up/down of pitch). Adjust the
pitch bend range using W (Width) knob in PB (Pitch
Bend) section of the EWI4000s.
Note: Before you get accustomed to these plates, you may
produce unexpected sounds as the result of touching them
by accident. You can also adjust the position of each Bend
plate by loosening its screw.
Glide
By moving your thumb to a position between other rollers with the Glide plate touched,
you can achieve a glide effect (which will smoothly and continuously slide the pitch
up or down: This is known as Portamento).
Adjust the glide time using the T (Time) knob
on the GL (Glide) section of the EWI4000s.
Note: Before you get used to controlling this plate,
you may produce unexpected sounds by touching
them accidentally.
