EWI do you reprogram a yamaha EX5 EWI - Yamaha Music

look it up on a pc and see if they well give you the instructions on how.

Reprogramming a Yamaha WX5 Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) typically involves adjusting settings, assigning functions to different keys, or customizing parameters to suit your preferences. Here's a general guide on how you might reprogram a Yamaha WX5:

1. Access the Menu:
   • Turn on your Yamaha WX5.
   • Navigate through the menu options using the buttons or controls on the instrument. Refer to your WX5's user manual for specific instructions on accessing the menu.
2. Select Parameter to Edit:
   • Once in the menu, find the parameter you want to edit. This could include things like breath sensitivity, pitch bend range, or assigned MIDI channels.
3. Adjust Parameters:
   • Use the controls provided on the WX5 to adjust the parameters. This might involve turning knobs, pressing buttons, or using a combination of controls.
4. Save Changes:
   • After making your adjustments, make sure to save your changes. The WX5 typically has a save or store function within the menu. Confirm the changes and save them to the instrument's memory.
5. Refer to the Manual:
   • Consult the user manual for your specific Yamaha WX5 model. The manual will provide detailed information on navigating menus, adjusting parameters, and saving changes.
6. Connect to a Computer:
   • Some advanced customization may require connecting your WX5 to a computer using MIDI. You can use Yamaha's dedicated software, if available, to reprogram certain parameters.
7. Use External Sound Modules:
   • If you're using external sound modules or synthesizers, some customization may need to be done on those devices as well. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI equipment to ensure compatibility and proper configuration.
8. Explore Advanced Settings:
   • Depending on your proficiency and the complexity of your WX5 model, you might explore more advanced settings like custom MIDI mapping or adjusting sensitivity curves.

Remember to approach reprogramming with caution, especially if you are not familiar with all the settings. Make note of the default settings before making changes, so you can revert to them if needed.
Always refer to the user manual specific to your Yamaha WX5 model for accurate and detailed instructions on reprogramming and customization. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, consider seeking assistance from Yamaha support or experienced professionals in electronic wind instruments.

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?

hi, i have a YAMAHA WX5, and want to know if it's to use a Vocoder?
Mike Phillips is the same, or if it only works with the EWI 4000s?
