Otherwise get some vaseline, handlotion, or dip your hands in plain water to improve conductivityДЈ-: MAKE SURE YOUR BODY IS NOT GROUNDED!!!(electrically).

Stuck notes are caused by bad electrical circuits.ДЎ-: Reset the device on the reset button, without touching any knobsДў-: Make sure you don't have superdry hands if they work on a laptop's mousepad, they will work on the EWI. Why not just remove the EWI USB as an output device and have it on by default, since the Save Configuration functionality is completely dependant on this? I never checked it as I was not expecting to trigger anything in the hardware. вЂ“ You will never be able to save any of your EWI configuration parameters unless you check off the EWI-USB as a MIDI Output Device. вЂ“ The system is completely unusable unless you use an ASIO driver, yet this is completely absent in any documentation from AKAI вЂ“ I pity the non-technical user who does not realize they need to download e.g.

Some other problems inherent with the software interface/documentation side of the EWI USB: I have raised this issue several times and have not yet received the promised tech support. I am furthermore not impressed by the tech support. I have also tried it on multiple machines (desktop and laptop) with the same results. I have tried all kinds of variations in ASIO devices (ASIO4ALL, M-Audio ASIO), sample rates and buffer sizes, but always end up with the software getting stuck. The only way to fix this is to restart the software (resetting the EWI hardware has no effect), or to enter Tools/Preferences and hit the OK button вЂ“ which presumably reloads the Audio Device. After playing for several minutes, the software will get stuck on one or two simultaneous notes which will play indefinitely, and the software will no longer respond to EWI input.

The Garritan software is NOT ready for prime time.
