Roland PC-300, not supported by Lion?

My brother has just updated. Will try and get him to install the plugin and will let you know how it goes!

I tried it recently with Mavericks and it worked without any problems. I didn't have to recompile the plugin, it worked right away. Then I recompiled it and it still worked.

Hi Yves,

Thanks very much for making the generic driver - much appreciated!

I think it's almost working for me, but still not quite there.

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro running Mavericks, and a Roland PC-300. In "Audio MIDI Setup" I can see the a device called "Roland PC-300 USB Keyboard" so it seems like it's connected. In GarageBand preferences, I can see "1 MIDI Input(s) detected". However, nothing happens when I press keys on the keyboard. I must be doing something simple wrong. Any pointers for things I could try to complete the final step?

thanks!

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??😕

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 🙂
