Getting Started
Important
Before operating the EWI Solo, please note the following:
Do not bite the mouthpiece too hard—this can damage the vibrato sensor. Use the
•
mouthpiece cover after using or while carrying the EWI Solo.
Always touch the grounding plate and octave rollers when playing. These are sensors
•
which use the performer's body as the ground.
Keep the mouthpiece clean before, during, and after using the EWI Solo. You can clean its
•
outer surface with a slightly damp cloth.
1. Power the EWI Solo
The EWI Solo is powered by a rechargeable battery. Please note the following about using it:
Charging: Use the included USB cable to connect the EWI Solo's USB port to either (A) the
•
included USB power adapter, connected to a power source or (B) an available USB port on
your computer (powered on). You can charge the battery while using the EWI Solo. While
charging, the Power LED will blink slowly.
Power: EWI Solo will power on automatically when connected to USB. To power on EWI Solo
•
when not connected to USB, press and hold the Power button for one second.
Battery life: Check the battery life by viewing battery icon in the lower right corner of the
•
display. Turn or press the encoder to activate the display, if necessary.
Low-battery warning: When the battery power is low and EWI Solo is not connected to USB,
•
the Power LED will flash quickly to indicate that you should charge the battery.
Auto-power-off: If the EWI Solo detects no activity for approximately 30 minutes, it will power
•
off automatically. You can disable this option in the
the EWI Solo to preserve its battery life when you are not using it.
