Glide - Akai EWI5000 User Manual

Glide

While playing a note, moving your thumb across the octave rollers (without rolling them) while
touching the glide plate on their right side to create a "glide" effect. This will smoothly and
continuously slide the pitch up or down—a technique known as portamento. Use the Glide tab
to determine how the glide plate works.
Legato Time: Enable this to control legato time on an external synth module (i.e., using
EWI5000 in Controller Mode).
•
Release: Use this slider to set the CC value the glide plate will send when you are barely
touching it.
•
Press: Use this slider to set the CC value the glide plate will send when you are touching
it fully.
