When i go to format
Check that your CF card is NOT biggerr than the unit allows... read the specs. A lot of equipment is having trouble with the larger memory cards. Unfortunately the smaller ones are almost non-existent.
Akai ewi 5000 stops playing after a few minutes, how to fix it?
- The battery is low. The EWI 5000 uses a rechargeable battery, and if the battery is low, it may not be able to power the instrument for very long. Try charging the battery or replacing it with a new one.
- The power cord is not plugged in properly. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely to the instrument and to the power outlet.
- The instrument is overheating. The EWI 5000 can overheat if it is used for extended periods of time. If the instrument is overheating, it will stop playing to prevent damage. Try taking a break from playing the instrument and letting it cool down.
- There is a problem with the instrument. If you have tried all of the above and the instrument is still not working, there may be a problem with the instrument itself. You may need to contact Akai customer support for help.
Here are some tips to help prevent this problem from happening in the future:
- Keep the battery charged. Make sure that the battery is always charged so that the instrument does not run out of power.
- Plug the instrument in properly. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in securely to the instrument and to the power outlet.
- Take breaks from playing. If you are playing the instrument for extended periods of time, take breaks to let it cool down.
- Have the instrument serviced regularly. If you use the instrument frequently, it is a good idea to have it serviced regularly by a qualified technician. This will help to prevent problems from occurring.
I hope this helps!

Power button repair
The power switch will need to be replaced. This will need to be done by a tech rather than the end user unless you are experienced in electronic repair. Take it to the shop.

When we try to play LP records, the arm stops half
If it's on ONE particular record, it may have a deep groove that the needle cannot move past. It could also be that you don't have enough pressure on the needle which you can adjust on the arm with a turn of the counter-weight (should be a knob on the other end from the needle)

I turn on the power
normally a buzzing sound means a grounding problem, or a component has failed, unless you have the proper equipment to check these items,, your going to have to take it to a shop that does, sorry I know thats not what you wanted to hear,, but heres a hint, Ive found that a shop that deals in instruments and sound devices charges a lot, I have found a TV repair shop in my town, that can check my band equipment,, and its much cheaper, and I usually get the stuff back much quicker too

I am trying to record
It is not clear whether you are recording audio or MIDI. If you recorded Audio samples, you will get the same sounds back even if you change the voice on the keyboard.
If you record a MIDI sequence, and then play it back you will STILL get the same sounds UNLESS you also record the MIDI voice or patch changes so the voice is changed as it occured when you recorded it. Usually there are options taht you can enable or disable voice changes.

I have a Akai DPS16. Turned it on and got tyhe
It appears that your hard drive has become un-accessable,
Open the dsp16 unit and check the cable to the drive.
Check the power supply to the drive.
Remove the drive on spin the case by whipping around in your hand. If the disk has stiction, this MIGHT free it. Try operating it again.
Then replace the drive and reformat.
