Roland PC-300, not supported by Lion?

Hi there,

I'm trying to get my PC-300 working with Snow Leopoard 10.6.8.

Unable to compile the plugin though - All 'run' options in Xcode are greyed out. I think it's because my Xcode version is 3.2.4. Will the current plugin source work with Xcode 4.2? Or does anyone have an older version of the plugin (or source) for 10.6.8?

Cheers,

Olaf

Hi,

I have done all at the top, but still nothing. The light switches on and off on the ED Roland PC-300 and nothing. Can anyone help??😕

Thanks

Worked like a charm. Thanks, dmanns I needed to connect via USB as well to my laptop via usb hub, but all is faulously hunky dory.

Yves Does this driver work with os x 10.8.5 ? ... ever since i upgraded my pc-300 doesnt work ...

thank you in advance for any and all help

thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

your generic driver works perfectly with the latest updates of Mavericks. I am using the PC-300 controller with reason 5 and my MacBook.

i am also happy to email anyone needing the compiled driver plugin. Downloading Xcode is no minor task as it is over 4gb.

This worked for me on Mavericks. Make sure you put the GenericUSBMIDI.plugin file into the Library>Audio>MIDI Drivers folder for the system and not the user. It will not work otherwise. You may also need to trash the RDUSB0008Midi plug-in too.

- download and install XCode (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/)

- download the zip folder containing GenericUSBMIDI

- open GenericUSBMIDI.xcodeproj in XCode

- push the "Play" button in XCode to compile the code

- copy the resulting GenericUSBMIDI.plugin file to /Library/Audio/MIDI\ Drivers/

- reboot

Thank you so much pal I finally got my Roland up and running again thanks to your help.

Grazie!!! this worked PERFECTLY on ML and Maverik!!! 🙂

Hi Peter. Could you send me a link to download there generic usb driver for mavericks. I am no coder and finding it hard to execute the changes. Much appreciated. Many thanks

Hey Guys, I'm using OSX 10.9.5.

I have built the compiled file and put it in MAC HD/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers/

No reaction from Sibelius yet..

Then I deleted all the other plugins from the MIDI Drivers file, still no reaction.

Anyone tips? Would be great. I have connected my Roland PC-300 with USB and I have put power on 'usb'.

Cheers

Aha! Erasing all the other drivers was the key! Now it works fine! Thank you very much!

I am running OS X 10.10.1 on a macbook pro 13" 2009, and it worked for me, when I deleted the original PC-300 driver. Thank you

For others: Follow Readbroad's guide above, and delete other drivers. You will have your keyboard back 🙂

I'm happy to report that this worked for me under Yosemite 10.10.1

All I had to do is delete the RDUSB0008Midi.plugin and a US122MIDIDriver.plugin into the trash. I kept the other plugins I had in the folder just in case and it worked. Thank you so much.

Hey Mr Wilson DJ,

I'm trying this fix on my MBP 2013 on Yosemite 10.10.1 and it doesn't seem to be working. The only plugin in my Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers is the one made in Xcode... and when i look in Audio Midi Setup, the device doesn't appear.

Strangely though, my two other midi keyboards do appear in Audio Midi Setup, however their .plugin files don't seem to exist? Thinking this is either because they're just standard plug n play keyboards or perhaps i'm not in the right directory?

Any tips?

Cheers 🙂

OK then, here's a "ready baked" driver.

My driver for PC-300, working fine on late 2013 MBP Mavericks 10.9.5 is available in my dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oonzuhyk9nul7ny/AABd_aszy457kCQY07WP8Mu_a?dl=0 Giving me a fine flow of MIDI data and power over USB.

Stick it in MacHD-Library-Audio-MIDI Drivers, reboot and you should be away. I had to remove other drivers from that folder and bring them in 1 by 1 as I had a conflict - possibly because I'd previously Roland's most recent (but now ancient) driver.

All credit to Yves!!!

We can't expect manufacturers to maintain drivers to support old hardware they no longer make as operating systems change around us. Yves has done a superb thing for us all!
