Roland PC-300, not supported by Lion?

After upgraded to Lion, and trying to reinstall the Roland driver, it's a no go.

When I tried to "uninstall", I get a message about, not supporting Power PC stuff.

That make sense? Is there a fix?

Thanks

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

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.

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.
