Global Menu
The EWI Solo's various controls have been set to optimal values at the factory, but we recommend
adjusting them to your preference to get the most out of your performance.
To make adjustments in the Global Menu:
1. Press the Global button to enter the Global Menu.
2. Use the encoder to scroll through the list of Global Menu settings and push it to select the
subtree:
Breath Senso
r
Glide Plate MIDI Channel
Bite Senso
r
Pitch Bend Plate Speaker
Key Response Hold Button 30min Idle Shutdown
Fine Tuning Interval Button Acceleration
Fingering LFO/Modulation
3. Turn the encoder to select the next subtree or adjust the selected setting or value.
4. To return to the previous page or exit Global Mode, press the Global button.
To start, we recommend adjusting the Fingering. This tends to be the most "personal" setting that
varies between different players, along with the Breath Sensor and Bite Sensor settings. For more
in-depth editing, use the EWI Solo Editor Software.
Fingering
The EWI Solo's different fingering modes accommodate different styles of playing. These are the
available fingering modes:
Standard EWI This is the standard fingering for the EWI Solo, based on the fingering o
f
conventional woodwind instruments.
Saxophone This fingering resembles that of a standard saxophone. In this mode, the
EWI will ignore fingers that are two notes below the highest note.
Flute This fingering resembles that of a standard C flute, although flutists will have
to familiarize themselves with a couple new fingerings to properly adapt
their performance to the EWI Solo.
Oboe This fingering resembles that of a standard oboe.
EVI
EVI stands for electric valve instrument. This fingering may be useful to
players who wish to use fingerings closer to those of a brass instrument.
Reverse EVI This fingering most closely resembles the movement of the left wrist on an
actual EVI (recommended mostly for experienced EVI players).
See Appendix > Fingering Charts for more information.
