Has anyone gotten AN Expert Editor to work with windows 7?  I bought the PLG150-AN without realizing that the software does not appear to work on Vista, or in this case, Windows 7.  Interestingly, running it in compatibility mode also does not work.  Has anyone figured out a solution or is my board rendered pretty much useless?

As I read in some computer magazine, Win 7 will have XP compatibility mode, e.g. XP SP3 installed “behind” so you could start all XP applications normally. But, when I see it, I would beleive it. Until that, I’ll keep working on XP.

well, I can confirm that xp mode for windows 7 does work.  I got the expert editor to load and install and can open the software.  Right now I can’t seem to get midi to work, which obviously makes the software pretty useless, but at least I now have hope…

Well, as usual I over-complicated things.  Good news is that AN Expert Editor vs 1.2.2 works perfectly fine with Windows 7 and also shows up within studio manager.  You do not have to worry about using XP mode within either the professional or ultimate versions of Windows 7. 

All you have do to is install the editor, then right click on the shortcut to launch the editor, select properties, and choose to run in XP service pack 3 compatibility mode.  It will not run in the normal Windows 7 mode.  That is all!  Hope this helps…

Good information! Thanks a lot! Since I’m considering of buying a new desktop with more RAM, but I’d like to use plug-in boards in my ES, than Win 7 is the right place to work.

So, how did you get MIDI to work? I can also get the app to run, but there’s no MIDI connectivity in Win7 with that app.

I’m running Yamaha’s latest USB/MIDI Win7 driver with an S90 that has several PLG150 boards, including the AN, and I can’t make it work with any of the older apps.

There is no secret, if you have downloaded and installed the latest USB MIDI driver from http://www.yamahasynth.com.
The latest driver has setup procedure that recognizes OS (including Win 7) so you don’t have to donwload OS specific driver. What could be a problem is mLAN that could work on Win7, but with some tricks before installations (check mlancentral.com forum, Windows section for more informations).
