Unable to connect my e-drums (Roland TD-11) to Logic Pro X

My MacBook Pro 16 doesn't see the e-drum (Roland TD-11). On my previous MacBook Pro 13 (2015) everything worked quite fine: used the USB-B cable for the connection, chose the correct input and the output devices and everything was alright.

But now the MacBook doesn't even see the input device which I also connect with USB-B cable via the adapter from USB to Thunderbolt. Tired of desperately surfing the net for the answer. Maybe anybody knows the solution? Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

You don't said if it is audio or MIDI. Anyways, in both cases I think a driver has to be properly installed.

The new MacBook run Catalina. Did you follow the instructions in the link below?

On the same site you can find a lot of information about the updated driver and other support issues.

Yes Iaamusic,

This is explained in the link I provided to the OP. Many vendors have finally documented detailed instructions on how to install and configure their product in regard to the security features of High Sierra to Catalina. I prefer now to redirect users to the vendor site if possible.
