Can't get TR-08 to connect to Windows 11

Post by runyonave »

Hello, I am trying to connect the TR-08 to windows 11 but it's not picking up.

- Downloading the driver, but when I click the setup button it asks for permission and afterwards nothing
- Run the setup file with admin privileges, still nothing happens
- Tried installing through device manager. It would state that the drivers have been installed but lists that it was installed on 0 devices

Not sure what else I could do at this point. Does the TR-08 need to be in a particular menu setting for it to be picked up?

One more question, any recommendation for a good DAW application?

Thanks!

  • Do you have any 3rd party antivirus, and/or is Windows Defender mentioning anything for prematurely terminating the install?
  • Have you checked Event Viewer to see what it says under Applications after it fails to properly launch?
  • According to Roland's manual you need to power on the unit first before connecting it via USB, I assume that's the order you did after attempting to install the driver?
  • The TR-08 (once the driver is installed and the unit is connected and functioning properly) should just come up as a virtual USB audio stream, so you won't need any DAW applications.
