BASIC OPERATION

First, secure the neckstrap to the NECKSTRAP MOUNT on the EWI USB. Place it

around your neck and hold the EWI USB the same way you would hold a

saxophone or clarinet – with the instrument vertically right in front of you and with

your mouth on the MOUTHPIECE.

There are two GROUND PLATES on the back of the EWI USB (one for each hand).

Your thumbs should always

be touching both of these plates to ensure the best

possible conductivity and performance of the instrument. Your left thumb should go

on top, on the OCTAVE ROLLERS in the back. Your right thumb should be closer

to the bottom, between the PITCH BEND PLATES.

Here is some essential information on how to play the EWI USB:

 Mouthpiece

Hold the mouthpiece gently in between your lips with your teeth and exhale so your

breath is passed through both sides of your mouth. The EWI USB detects this wind pressure with the breath sensor

and expresses the change in sound volume and character, depending on how you blow. Not a lot of breath should be

required to activate the instrument.

Vibrato: There is a vibrato sensor in the mouthpiece. You can produce a vibrato effect by gently biting the

mouthpiece, which will bend the pitch down each time you bite. Do not bite too hard.

Tonguing: You can create small bursts of air by tonguing the mouthpiece for even more expressive control.

 Note Keys

The note keys are actually touch sensors that let you produce

sound with only a light touch. The EWI USB has multiple

fingering options that can be set by the software (see

FINGERING CHARTS and the guide included in the software

DVD for more information). You can adjust the position of the

longer keys by loosening the screws that hold each of them in

place.

 Octave Rollers

Place your left thumb on the back side of the EWI USB, between any two rollers (and over the GROUND PLATE). To

shift the EWI USB’s octave range up or down, slide your thumb up or down across the rollers. Only the two in the

middle will roll. The ones on the top and bottom are fixed. Remove your thumb from the lowest roller to shift it down

an additional octave. Remove your thumb from the highest roller to shift it up an additional octave.

 Pitch Bend Plates

By touching your thumb to either of these plates, you can move the pitch of the note you are playing up or down.

Touch the BEND-UP PLATE to raise the pitch or the BEND-DOWN PLATE to lower it.

MAINTENANCE & CARE

We’ve designed the EWI USB to be durable and easy to use, but regular cleaning and maintenance can ensure that it

stays in good condition – and that it will give you the best possible experience while playing it.

 When not in use, keep the MOUTHPIECE dry and clean. You can clean the outer surface with

disinfectant alcohol or mild soap and dry it with a soft cloth. Or, you can remove the screw at the

top of the MOUTHPIECE, gently pull it off the body of the EWI USB, and wash just the mouthpiece

in the dishwasher.

 The metal parts on the EWI USB are conductors, so keep them dry and clean to ensure they will

work properly whenever you use them. After playing, wipe the NOTE KEYS, PITCH BEND

PLATES, GROUND PLATES, and OCTAVE ROLLERS with a soft, dry cloth. (Over time, natural

oils from your hand may slightly tarnish these parts. This is normal and should not be a problem.)

 Moisture gathered from blowing into the instrument empties out of the MOISTURE RELEASE

VALVE at the very bottom of the EWI USB. Be careful of where this end of the EWI USB is while

playing, and wipe it periodically with a soft, dry cloth.

A NOTE ABOUT KEY RESPONSE: If the

EWI USB’s keys, rollers, or plates are not

very responsive, it could be because you

are playing with dry hands (the EWI USB

works by using the body’s capacitance).

You may use a very small amount of non-

greasy hand lotion to improve the

connection between your hands and the

keys.
