Aksys – Installation / update procedures (as-of DPS V1.50 and Aksys V1.10)

From the International Download Center:

www.akaipro.co.jp/global/...oadfs.html

1) Download the following files from the DPS24 OS section:

* OS Loader (dpsosldr.zip)

This ZIP file contains:

- the latest USB drivers V1.2.1.0 dated 8/8/2002

(DPS24USB.sys and DPS24USB.inf)

- a DOS program called usbrom.exe for OS updates via USB

(this program must be launched from the DOS Command Prompt, not directly from Windows)

* DPSakSys110.zip

This ZIP file contains the Windows installer (setup.exe) for Aksys TrackView V1.10 for DPS24.

Aksys V1.10 requires DPS24 Operating System V1.40 or higher (current OS is V1.50).

On the DPS24, press the SETUP key to check your OS Version.

* OS Version 1.50 if your OS is not up-to-date.

2) Create a new folder on your PC in a location that you will remember!

For instance, create a folder named "Akai DPS24" in "My Documents".

3) Unzip the downloaded files into the folder created above.

(If WinZip is not installed on your computer, you can get it from www.winzip.com)

After unzipping, the "AKAI DPS24" folder should contain the following files:

* DPS24USB.sys

* DPS24USB.inf

* usbrom.exe

* setup.exe

* dps24.BIN (if you have downloaded the DPS24 OS update)

(the extensions .sys/.inf/.exe/.bin might not be displayed on your computer)

4) Connect a good shielded USB cable between the DPS24 and your PC

If you have never connected the DPS24 to the PC before, you should get a "New Hardware found"

message and Windows should automatically launch the "Hardware Wizard" utility.

If the Hardware Wizard does not open, right-click on "My Computer", and select "Properties".

In System Properties, select the "Hardware" tab.

Click on "Device Manager".

In the list of devices, you should see "AKAI Digital Personal Studios". Click on the "+" in front of that.

This should show "AKAI DPS24 24-Track Personal Studio". Right-click on that and select "Update

Driver". This will launch the "Hardware Wizard" utility.

In the Hardware Wizard, select "Install from a list or specific location (advanced)" and click NEXT.

In the next window, select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and click NEXT.

In the next window, click on "Have Disk".

In the Install from Disk window, click on "Browse" and locate the DPS24USB file

(for instance in Desktop/My Documents/Akai DPS24). Select the DPS24USB file and click on "Open".

Back in the Install from Disk window, click on "OK".

Back in the Hardware Wizard, click NEXT. The Wizard will now copy and install the drivers.

When Completed, click on "Finish".
