Are you on Windows or a Mac? In Windows right click and make a shortcut, on the Mac, control click the file name and a pop up window will let you make an alias.

I'll let you know what I find out.

Do you think it could be a South Jersey curse?
PATCO power line pollution?

Just wondering.....

Anyway, I'll let you know-

LOL it sure could be! But more likely a MOTU issue if we both have it...
nice to meet you
Got it! The installation script doesn't do what it's supposed to. Here's a work around.

Install ILok software and ILock
Copy sample files to hard drive you want them
install software for EK
make aliases for the files
copy the alias files to this folder
/Library/Application Support/MOTU/ElectricKeys/Sounds
take off the "alias" at the end of the file names

Voila! EKeys works
Alright, thanks a lot it does work like that.
It is kind of frustrading to follow the instructions and it doesn't work at first.
