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.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a universal standard that allows electronic musical instruments and com-
MIDI makes it possible to convey, to another musical instrument, an ongoing description of exactly what’s happening
during a performance. For example, a C key on a keyboard has been pressed using a certain amount of velocity (volume),
the instrument sound has been changed to “violin,” the volume has been lowered, or the pitch has been raised and low-
ered. In other words, MIDI is a language that musical instruments can use to communicate with each other.
Since MIDI messages are just signals that specify how a performance should occur, you’ll need a MIDI sound generator
(such as a software synthesizer) in order to produce sound in response to these messages.
In the illustration above, a MIDI message saying that “a ‘C’ note was played on the PCR” is transmitted via the USB cable to
the software synthesizer running on the computer, and the software synthesizer responds by sounding the ‘C’ note.
Virtually all software synthesizers and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software in the world can use MIDI.
* DAW software collectively refers to music production software such as the included Cakewalk LE Suite.
You can use the PCR’s keyboard to play software synthesizers, strike the pads to play a sampler, and use the sliders and
knobs to control your DAW software as if you were using a mixer.
