Roland PC-300, not supported by Lion?

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!

Actually - use https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zdfstuw73uth1o/GenericUSBMidi.plugin.zip?dl=0

The other one seems to unzip to parts of the plugin package. This one will unzip to the .plugin file which is want you want.

Sorry - could not figure out how to edit previous post.

Hey NeilWal, thanks heaps for this!

I've just tried it out though and no luck 😟

The issues i originally had (and also am having with the file you provided) is:

- No device appears in Audio Midi Setup.

Originally, to fix this, i followed this method as described on the GitHub page in order to fix my product ID. This left my variables in Xcode looking likje this:

#define kTheInterfaceToUse 3
// The third one

#define kMyVendorID 0x0582
// Roland Corporation

#define kMyProductID 0x0033

#define kMyNumPorts 2
// One in-out pair.

It appeared that the kMyProductID was originally incorrect, (mine is 0x0033). This was great because now the device appears in Audio Midi Setup.

The next issue though is that my device appears to have no Input or Output ports. This has been observed before (in this issueon the github page).

I've tried looking through the code but can't get it sorted!

Out of curiosity NeilWal, could you please let me know what settings you used in the above code to get it working?

Reminder that i'm on Yosemite 10.10.2... perhaps that's the difference.

Cheers again 🙂

Just going to add to this post, because I found some weird but successful results!

Still no luck on the above fix (ie. using the Xcode project to generate a plugin), BUT what did work was getting this driver from the Roland website.

Strangely, it is listed for OS X 10.9, but is sill working on Yosemite 10.10.2!

Yay.

Hope this helps anyone else who has issues!

From the Roland site:

CR Driver Ver.1.0.0 for OS X 10.9

This is a driver for using the PCR ( PCR-300 / PCR-500 / PCR-800 / PCR-M1 / PCR-M30 / PCR-M50 / PCR-M80 / PCR-30 / PCR-50 / PCR-80 ) on OS X 10.9.

OS：Mac OS X

You are a legend!

Lot's of people will be happy with you.

I made no changes to Yves plugin source - simply compiled it on Mavericks 10.9.5 and it worked.

I've lacked the balls to go to Yosemite so far. . . I'm not a big cloud/iPad user so don't see a need at this stage.

Again - thanks for your excellent work, LucastoBrazil!

I used what's below when compliling.

Hi Lucas

I had seen this on Roland's site, but did not download it because it lists the PCR-300 (which I assume is a different keyboard) but not the PC-300. Is "PCR" just a typo? Apologies for my inexpertness.

Thank you very muchfor the link. MyMacbook Pro 15", Mac OS10.9.5Mavericksworks withRolandPC-300. I'm happy.Thanks again.

Yeeehaa!

Finally got it working.

Had to trash M-Audio USB Support.plugin and a MIDI monitor plug from my own user´s MIDIplugins -folder.

And viola; magic.

Thanx.

Hi Sharm,

I m on Sierra as well and i can make my PCR 300 to work… Could you tell me which procedure did you do exactly? That would be so nice of you.

Thank you,

Rudy.

You, sir are a genius! Thank you so much. I don't understand Github from a hole in the ground, so this was fantastic.
