Did you install the Aria software upgrade in the docs-download section with the EWI attached? I just put the software in my new win 7 machine and all ran well. I know that the EWI configuration drivers are in the Aria software. If so did you run the EWI program and set up your configuration?
Answer: No, I did not installed the Aria software upgrade; The program that comes and I instaled is the same version of the upgrade. BUT I can do that again, it is a good sugestion. Anyway, not installed with the EWI atached. Installed the SW into WinVista machine. Will try at another machine with XP and another (the brand new) with Win7. It is true I did not instaled the Aria SW at the other 3 machine I tested. I suposed the Win would reconize and install the EWI USB as a simple USB device, even with no Aria Software installed. So, my test on 4 machines is not so true.






If you look on the first page of docs that came with the EWI under “install the software” step #3 says “After installation of both the software and samples have successfully completed, you may open the software (No additional driver installation is needed. The computer will install all the necessary drivers automatically).” The key word there is additional. This indicates to me that the drivers are in the Akai EWI-USB software package.

I hope this helps.
