Roland PC-300, not supported by Lion?

Hallo Ives,

thanks for your work. I've followed all the instructions but it doesn't work with my Mac.

I've a Roland Ed Pc-300 and a MacBook Pro with Mac Os X 10.8.3, so this is very strange since we have the same hardware (but now I realize that you tested with Os x 10.8.2 could it be a problem?)...where could be my mistake? Thank you in advance, David

Hi David,

I don't think that the problem is the small version difference. Can you give me some details about what kind of problem you encounter (error messages, symptoms)?

Best regards,

Yves

Hi Yves,

thanks for responding.

This is what I have done:

-downloaded xcode

-downloaded your zip file

-i've run on xcode the xcode project that I found in your zip

-it says that the built was successful with 114 issues but no errors.

-I put the plugin file in the audio/midi drivers folder without opening the plugin, i just put it there.

-I rebooted the mac

-I connected the roland pc 300 via usb

-I opened the midi audio configuration tool and it doesn't recognize my keyboard

-I opened garageband and puredata and no one recognizes the keyboard

That's what happened to me.

No error messages in the end, it just doesn't work for some reason.

What could I try?

Thank in advance,

best regards,

David

Hallo Yves,

finally I understood my mistake.

I'm a new Mac user, so don't laugh at me :-) but I didn't know that there are two different Library folders: one for the system and one for the user. Am I right?

So in a first time I've put the plugin in the Midi drivers folder of the User and not in the right one, the Mac library folder, and that doesn't work.

So...in the end, I've changed the folder and now it works!!

Thank you very much!

David

Hello Yves

I tried using Xcode et al, created plug in successfully but still no joy. I am using 10.7 - will that be a problem??

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Hi Yves,

thank you for your help!
I followed every single step of your detailed list,

but my roland edirol pc-300 doesn't work with mac os x 10.8.3 installed on my mac book air.

I found a list of compatibility here,

where pc-300 seems to be absent. 😟

Have you got any new idea?

Thank to you and to everyone for the help!!!!

Hi and thanks for this, I have followed your instructions and put the plugin in the library, still not working. Is this perhaps because I am running 10.8.4?

NiallHunter I have the exact same problem. I'm running 10.8.4 and I have the plugin file placed in my MIDI drivers folder...the red light for the keyboard wont even light up meaning it isn't working. Any help NiallHunter and Yves?

Heres what I did, but on 10.8.4 its not working. Help if you can please? Thanks!

Check my screnshot above, did I perhaps place the plugin file into the wrong folder as well? Thanks! Im on 10.8.4

Hi, I gave up. I plugged my pc-300 into a midi interface, problem solved. I have a keyboard again!

I had the same problem, but have just tried deleting the RDUSB...plugin in the MIDI Devices folder and suddenly... it works! I guess the plugins might be conflicting with each other? Is there any way you can clean out the folder so it's just GenericUSBMidi? Worked for me.

Yes! This solved it for me too! Been tearing my hair out, building, deleteing, and re-building the Generic USB plugin, and had resigned myself to having to buy a new keyboard, but then came back to this forum for one more try. Deleted the other plugins and it works! Thank you electronicwomble! (Intrigued by the name, by the way, as I have been a Womble in my time!) And thanks to Yves too.

Lol! Glad it worked! Thanks Yves for having the brains to adapt the driver :)

Has anyone got it working on the Mavericks?

Petter
