The creation of sound on the EWV2000 can be
largely divided into two types.
1. The first is by acoustic envelopes using the breath. This is the
method best suited for playing the EWI1000 and EVI1000 The
acoustic envelopes output by the breath sensor without using the
VCF-EG and VCA-EG (the use of the breath by the player) con
trol the VCF cut-off frequency, the resonance, the VCA volume
and the VCO pitch, making it possible to create a rich variety of ex
pressions.
2. The second is by setting the VCF-EG and VCA-EG with skill to
create a wide variety of sounds. This is the same as for regular
analog synthesizers. Percussive sounds or special effect sounds can
also be produced. By using the breath with skill, it is possible to
create a rich variety of dynamics and expressions.
Procedures for Creating Sound with Acoustic
Envelopes
(1) First, set up so that basic playing is possible.
(2) Select a bank number for a voice which you don't mind chang-
ing.
Play the recalled voice and readjust the BREATH kndbs
(Refer to Page 14.)
(4) Next, press the EDIT button. The basic sound range1 for source
1 appears on the display.
Ex.:
OSC-1 FREQ:
MM
To select a different basic sound range, either press the VALUE
UP or DOWN keys or use the slide controller.
(5) Next, press the source 2 LEVEL button and use the VALUE
DOWN key to set the value to "00".
Ex.:
SOURCE-2 OUT:1XX
SOURCE-2 OUT: XX
(6) Now press the source 1 LEVEL button and check the volume.
Ex.:
SOURCE-1 OUT:1XX
If the value is less than "100", use the VALUE UP key to set it
to " 100". In this way, only the source 1 sound will be output.
(7) Next, press the EFFECT button and call out the filter selection
mode.
Ex.:
FlLTER
1
Use the VALUE keys to set to "OFF" if it is not already there
(8) Now press the source 1 BREATH INTENSITY button and set
the parameters as follows:
Ex.:
BREATH VCO : MM
BREATH PWM : XX
BREATH VCF :1XX
BREATH RESON: XX
BREATH VCA :1XX
With these settings, the source 1 VCF and VCA operate accord-
ing to the acoustic envelope output of the breath
(9) Next press the source 1 VCA-EG button and sei the parameters
as follows:
Ex.:
VCA-EG ATTAK: XX
VCA-EG DECAY:
VCA-EG SUSTN: XX
VCA-EG RELES: XX
VCA-EG DEPTH: XX
