Make the Windows 7 driver working on Windows 8 or 8.1
Hi there
I want to help to let the MC-808 work in Windows 8 or 8.1 environment as MIDI device (also to work with the editor).
1. Download the Windows 7 32 and 64 bit driver: http://www.roland.com/support/article/? ... s&p=MC-808
2. Extract the compressed file
3. Open the extracted folder and go to the folder Files\64bit\Files\ or Files\32bit\Files\. It depends on the OS Bit edition you have.
4. Open the File RDIF1064.INF
5. Replace now the following part:
For the file in folder "Files\64bit\Files\":
[Manufacturer]
%MfgName%=Roland,NTamd64.6.1,NTamd64.6.2
;[ControlFlags]
;ExcludeFromSelect=*
[Roland]
;; WindowsVista 64 or Windows XP 64
;; not supported

;; not supported
REPLACE WITH

;; Windows8.1
%RDID0064DeviceDesc%=RDID0064Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_00A9 ; MC-808

Solo tienes que seguir las indicaciones paso a paso.cambios wrote:hola, eso parece complicado, que hay que hacer exactamente??

Abre los ficheros que te indica más arriba con un editor de texto y cambias una cosa por otra, después sigues las instrucciones para la instalación.
Y no, no puedes editar los sonidos desde mc307, te lo digo porque yo también tengo una y no es lo mismo.

Thanks! This worked for me.
I just changed the compatibility mode in the properties of the exe in "Files\32bit\Files\". Ran the exe and then approved the install from the "Signed Driver" warning.
MC-808 needs to be in USB midi mode to finish the driver install and not in storage mode.
