Ewi4000s as a controller

My EWI 4000s started to play by its self making a loud low note and then it stop and now it won't play at all. I Reset to Factory Preset but that didn't help. What do I need to do to get it to play again?

This sounds like a power supply issue... Since the unit is new, make use of the warranty for repair or replacement.

Consider joining the forum here:http://www.patchmanmusic.com/WindControllerLinks.html It sounds like it is a velocity setting problem but the solution should be in your manual. It may also be a setting in the sound module you are using.

Here is a good forum to join:http://www.patchmanmusic.com/forum/ Depending on what you are using for a sound module, I would recommend setting the pitch bend limit or range on the sound module to what you want and controlling that setting with whatever setting you have on the EWI. Read your manuals carefully and you should be able to do it.

Without reading the manual, the easiest solution that occurs to me is to not use a cable between the audio out on the Ewi and the amp or mixer you are using. You can also set the main volume to zero. That setting does not affect the program volume.

Please try to reset the ewi. You can do this like this: Shut down ewi. Press down the four little white buttons Level, FX, Setup and Trans. Keep them pressed while starting up the ewi.
This is a factory reset.

I hope this works for you.

Hello a_marechalro,

You can try to reset your instrument.
Turn off the EWI,
Press the LEVEL, FX, SETUP and TRANS buttons.
Then turn on the EWI.
This is a Factory reset.

I hope for You this is the solution.
Kind regards,
Fred Roubos.

My Imac does not find the midi ports form my Ewi 4000S. When I try to install midi ports ( just one choice possible) it does not work. What can I do ?

Are you shure that you aren't touching the bend up plate with your right thumb? This isn't easy detected by sax players which are used to have a thumb rest at exactly the same spot where the bend up plate is. You might switch it off (see manual). With the bend up plate on you should aways use a tight strap which helps a bit to not touch the bend up plate accidentally. I'm still struggling with this occasionally.
