Software Overview; Using The Software - Akai Professional EWI USB Guia De Inicio Rapido

INTRODUCTION
This Quickstart Manual is intended to give you a brief overview of the EWI USB – a versatile wind controller based on earlier models in our popular EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) Series. It lets you play with the expressiveness of an
acoustic instrument or the tonal variety and flexibility of an electronic instrument. Plus, the EWI USB is set up to be
used directly with a computer via USB, making it easy to use.
In this manual, you'll find instructions on how to set up the EWI USB and begin making music on it. For more
information on the included software, we recommend reading the guide on the software DVD. Enjoy!

SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
1. Insert the software DVD (included) into your computer's CD/DVD drive. The setup window should open
automatically.
2. Double-click on Setup and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
3. Once 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.)
Windows (XP or Vista): You can find the software application in the Program Files folder or, if
you chose to create shortcuts, on the Desktop or in the programs listed in the Start Menu.
Mac: You can find the software application in the Applications folder.

USING THE SOFTWARE

1. Connect the EWI USB into your computer
using a standard USB cable (included). The
STATUS LED will light up on the rear panel
(see #8 in the FEATURES section).
2. Open the software application. You should
only open the software once the EWI USB is
connected to your computer, otherwise it may
not recognize it.
3. Under the Tools menu, select Preferences. Then, under MIDI Devices
check the appropriate box:
Windows (XP): Check "USB Audio Device."
Windows (Vista) or Mac: Check "EWI USB."
See the included software guide for more information.
IMPORTANT! Plugging
automatically recalibrates its keys, rollers, and plates.
To avoid interfering with this process (and causing it
to play out of tune), hold the EWI USB only by its
plastic casing near the top while plugging it in.
