Ewi and vocoder setup

Check the mic and connections all through its input into the unit. I would check the cartridge of the mic for continuity for the reason that (I think but not 100% sure) on this model, I think there has to be sound at the mic or it does go silent in vocode mode. This is how it digitizes the mic and keys together. The played keys cannot put onto pitch the sound it is NOT picking up at the mic. I think there is a problem with the mic.

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?

Try this out

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.

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.

sounds like a switch contact problem, try some surgical alcohol. (for the MXR not for you!!!)

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.

I've got the solution.
Turn the EWI off.
Press the LEVEL, FX, SETUP and TRANS buttons all together.
Turn on the EWI.
This is a Reset to Factory Preset.

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 ?
