Edirol/Roland USB legacy driver hack for Windows 10
 
Recently purchased a new PC (thanks 3XS) and migrated to Win 10.

Sadly Edirol/Roland do not support Win 10 with some of their older USB devices (likely due to costly driver certification?), so was unable to install my previously trusty Edirol UM-3EX 3-in/out MIDI interface. It attempts to install them, gets halfway through, then suddenly states the drivers aren't compatible and automatically launches the uninstall process.



Other Edirol/Roland products potentially affected:

Synthesizers:

Fantom-G7

Guitar & Bass:
DR-880 [Limited]
eBand JS-8
GT-Pro

Attempting to install with compatibility settings, admin privileges, etc. also fail to work.

However there is a workaround that people have used with V-Drums and it worked for my UM-3EX too, although it takes a little editing and bypassing certification. It's worth a try before you junk or ebay the unit which I was about to do.

Without further ado:

• Remove the Edirol/Roland USB device from your PC, if connected.
• Download the Windows 8.1 drivers for your Edirol/Roland device (UM-3EX in my case) from the Edirol/Roland website.
• Extract the contents its own new folder (um3ex_w81d_v101, in this case).
• Search the folder and sub-folders for an *.inf file. In my case there were two, one in each of the 32- and 64-bit folders: um3ex_w81d_v101/Files/64bit/Files/RDIF1058.INF and um3ex_w81d_v101/Files/32bit/Files/RDIF1058.INF
• Open these *.inf file(s) using Notepad.
• Search within the *.inf files (ctrl+f) for the text string: "[Roland.NTamd64.6.2]" (not including the speech marks) and take a look at the lines below it. Mine showed:
Code:

[Roland.NTamd64.6.2]
;; Windows8
%RDID0058DeviceDesc%=RDID0058Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_009A ; UM-3EX

[Roland.NTamd64.7]
;; not supported

• The above lines of code show the drivers would be installed by Windows 8.x, but not for versions after it, even if they are compatible. To get it to install for Windows 10 you will need to copy the line of code that was used for [Roland.NTamd64.6.2] and paste it into the [Roland.NTamd64.7] section, overwriting where it says ";; not supported".

So you should now have something similar below, where your Edirol/Roland device is duplicated for both the Roland.NTamd64.6.2 and Roland.NTamd64.7 portions:

Code:

[Roland.NTamd64.6.2]
;; Windows8
%RDID0058DeviceDesc%=RDID0058Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_009A ; UM-3EX

[Roland.NTamd64.7]
%RDID0058DeviceDesc%=RDID0058Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_009A ; UM-3EX

• Save the *.inf files (overwrite them).

Given the drivers have now effectively been 'tampered' with, Windows won't automatically allow them to be executed as a security precaution. Therefore you will need to install them without driver signature enforcement.

To do this (before going further you may need to write these down as you'll be restarting your PC and may not know what to click)....

• Click Windows Start, and type "Change advanced start-up options" and execute it. This will take you to the Windows 10 Settings Recovery options.
• On the right, where it says Advanced Startup, choose "Restart Now"
• Once it takes you to the blue menu screen, click: "Troubleshoot", followed by "Advanced Settings" > "Startup Settings" > "Restart".
• Once PC has restarted, press the number 7 to 'Disable driver signature enforcement'.
• Finally, navigate to where you extracted and modified the drivers and install the new modified drivers. Follow any on-screen prompts and insert the Edirol/Roland USB device when requested to complete the installation.
• Restart PC after completion (this will automatically take you out of 'disable driver signature' mode).

Done.

Hope this may help others in the same predicament as it helped me. Full kudos to intouch1 from the vdrums forum: https://www.vdrums.com/forum/advance...-driver-solved

pcr-M50
 
Hey the latest drivers for my midi-controller (pcr-M50) are for vista/ 7. both don´t seem to contain .inf files

Can anyone help out?

http://forum.cakewalk.com/Getting-yo...-m3267234.aspx

This method failed because my PC wouldn´t accept the drivers. "wrong OS"

drivers from here:
https://www.roland.com/global/suppor...oduct/pcr-m50/

Just downloaded the PCR-M50 drivers, the .inf file is "RDIF1027.INF" inside the "pcr_w764d_v100/Files/" folder.

Open RDIF1027.INF with notepad and search for below:

Quote:

;---------------------------------------------------------------;

[Manufacturer]
%MfgName%=Roland,NTamd64.6.1,NTamd64.6.2

;[ControlFlags]
;ExcludeFromSelect=*

[Roland]
;; WindowsVista 64 or Windows XP 64
;; not supported

[Roland.NTamd64.6.1]
;; Windows7
%RDID0027DeviceDesc%=RDID0027Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_0033 ; PCR

[Roland.NTamd64.6.2]
;; not supported

;===============================================================;
Looks like the driver is older and was made for Windows 7, not even 8 or 8.1.

You could perhaps try using the same string for Windows 7 and duplicate this for 8, and add an additional clause for 10.

Such as something similar to this:-

Quote:

;---------------------------------------------------------------;

[Manufacturer]
%MfgName%=Roland,NTamd64.6.1,NTamd64.6.2,NTamd64.7

;[ControlFlags]
;ExcludeFromSelect=*

[Roland]
;; WindowsVista 64 or Windows XP 64
;; not supported

[Roland.NTamd64.6.1]
;; Windows7
%RDID0027DeviceDesc%=RDID0027Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_0033 ; PCR

;; Windows8
[Roland.NTamd64.6.2]
%RDID0027DeviceDesc%=RDID0027Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_0033 ; PCR

;; Windows10
[Roland.NTamd64.7]
%RDID0027DeviceDesc%=RDID0027Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_0033 ; PCR


;===============================================================;
(Red shows what I've added).

I cannot guarantee this will work as I'm unfamiliar with the intricacies of Microsoft code, and furthermore don't have a PCR-M50, I cannot test it, it's merely a hunch.
