Using FX
You can use the EWI Solo's FX Menu to apply and edit three different effects to its audio output: Reverb, Chorus,
and Delay.
Important: Your EWI Solo's audio output must be enabled to edit its effects. If you are using it as a MIDI controller
only (its Preset LED is flashing), enable its audio output by pressing and holding the Power Button until its Preset
LED is lit solid.
Tip: When FX are added to a Program, the Save LED will light to indicate changes have been made. See Programs
> Saving Programs & Favorites for more information on saving changes to a Program.
Reverb
Reverb is a spatial effect, simulating the nuanced reverberation of sound in the space of a particular room.
To add Reverb to the Program:
1. Press the FX button.
2. Use the encoder to select Reverb, and then press it to select.
3. Use the encoder to select the Reverb setting, and then press it to select: Off, Small Room, Large Room, Hall,
Cavern or Custom.
The Custom setting has the following parameters:
• Level: This determines the amount of reverb (0–100).
• Damping: This determines the how much the simulated room absorbs high frequencies as the reverberated
sound decays over time (0 [no absorption] – 100 [most absorption]).
• Room: This determines the size of the room simulated (0 [smallest] – 100 [largest]).
Use the encoder to select the parameter, and then press it to move to the next page. Turn the encoder to
change the parameter value, and then press the FX button to move back to the previous page.
4. To exit the FX menu, press the FX button again.
Chorus
The Chorus effect modulates the pitch and a delay of the input signal, which are then added to the dry signal. In
small amounts, this creates the illusion of multiple voices playing at once.
To add Chorus to the Program:
1. Press the FX button.
2. Use the encoder to select Chorus, and then press it to select.
3. Use the encoder to select the Chorus setting, and then press it to select: Off, Light, Medium, Heavy or
Custom.
The Custom setting has the following parameters:
• Level: This determines the amount of chorus applied (0–100).
• Rate: This determines the rate of modulation for the chorus effect (1–3 Hz).
• Depth: This determines the depth or intensity of modulation for the chorus effect (0 [subtle] – 100 [heavy]).
Use the encoder to select the parameter, and then press it to move to the next page. Turn the encoder to
change the parameter value, and then press the FX button to move back to the previous page.
4. To exit the FX menu, press the FX button again.
