This was only tested on Chrome v77 on Windows 10. Other browsers most likely won't work even in 2019.
The vendor-supplied configuration program doesn't work for me (at all) and isn't well supported anymore.
So I wrote my own configuration utility that runs in a web browser.
- Close ANY/ALL applications that might be actively using your EWI-USB device (including DAWs/audio programs, etc).
- Ensure your device is plugged into the computer you want to run this app on.
- Open website
- Accept prompt to use MIDI (if it shows up)
- Select MIDI devices to use from the dropdown. Both MIDI IN and MIDI OUT should be EWI-USB.
- Click 'Open MIDI Devices'
- Move a slider randomly (just to be different, this is totally optional)
- Click "Fetch Data" to read the current settings from the device. If this was successful, that slide your moved in Step 6 will jump to a new position. Other sliders might too depending on your device's current configuration.
- Move sliders 'til the device is configured about right.
- Click "Save" button to commit the settings to the device. Repeat steps 7 and 8 if you like.
- When finished, close the browser completely (in the future, there might be a 'Close MIDI Devices')
- Open your MIDI-enabled Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and enjoy your newly-configured device.
If 'Fetch Data' or 'Save' doesn't seem to do anything, your device is probably in use by another application.
Try unplugging your device, closing all MIDI applications, waiting a few seconds, plugging it back in, then reload the application until the device shows up, and try your configuration again.
You'll need Node.js, npm, npx, and yarn because this is a JavaScript program.
- yarn install
- ionic serve
Build/update as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Assumes Firebase (and you probably need to be on the "firebase" branch if it still exists in this repository).
- npx cap copy web
- ionic build --prod
- firebase deploy
This isn't supported yet. Probably through Ionic Capacitor and Electron.js. In the mean time use "Dev Mode" or the hosted website.
