cforlong Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Besides disabling S.I.P. in OS X Sierra, is there any workaround to get my an old Edirol PCR 500 keyboard connected with Logic Pro X? It's has been a trusty old unit that sits off on the side , but is used when we need an extra knob or slider control. Plus ....it has aftertouch (sort of) . It worked flawlessly with all the bells and whistles until Sierra and was even included in the auto mapping configs that came along in LPX 10.2.4 We have other keyboards ..... but this one has sentimental value. We're ... clingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 omg, i had a pcr m-1... a decade ago. meanwhile... disabling SIP is only necessary if it's necessary, to install an OS-level driver, for instance (that won't install with it enabled). after the install, you can (and probably should) re-enable SIP. if it was there in LX 10.2.4, and you haven't changed anything with the app... is it not still there?

cforlong Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 The PCR drivers/configuration were installed 2 years ago. I can see the PCR 'driver' in Audio MIDi setup . But can not set it to 'Online' . Greyed out. I'll disable SIP just to see if it works..... maybe there's a way to keep it working even after re-engaging SIP. Thank you sir for your reply.

cforlong Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I disabled SIP. Tried to reinstall drivers. No luck . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cforlong Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 is it possible to just use the PCR as a generic MIDI controller that does not require a Roland/Edirol driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkali Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I went through all this a year ago. They stopped supporting Macs at El Capitan...so no updates. What I managed to get working then...hopefully still?.... ditched the usb cable and use a midi cable (converter thing with a usb one end and two midi din type things the other with flashing lights in the middle)and the I got some functionality. Since bought a Komplete Kontrol Keyboard so don't do it anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Forget Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Your PCR-500 was working with El Capitan ? Or Yosemite ? All was ok and flawless with Logic ? (Can you reply at this question ? Would be nice from you ) Your experience would be helpful for me and others people, with all useful info (version of OS X, version of Edirol/Roland driver or without driver). Maybe there is a turnaround : desinstall the Edirol/Roland driver and desactivate the Advanced Driver on the PCR-500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cforlong Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Was working flawlessly on El Capitan. No issues with Logic All latest version of OSX , Logic and the last driver update from Roland .... which was 2007 I believe. Deactivate the "Advanced Driver on PCR-500" ? < I don't know what you are referring to. Turning off OSX Sierra's S.I.P. did not solve anything.

Never Forget Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 You will find the procedure for desactivate the Advanced Driver here : https://www.rolandus.com/support/knowledge_base/205113475 If the PCR-500 works under El Capitan, it's really fine. Official last OS supported is Mavericks. All the controls are ok with Logic ? Pots, faders, buttons ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inmnbob Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The standard midi driver worked for me. I deleted the midi setup I had that supported the Edirol specific maps and then changed the settings as indicated above and the PCR-800 works now. I had to redo the controller mappings which was a little pain but all is good now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlatinumProducerJoeTraxx Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If you are using a Mac osx past Yosemite this will probably be your fix Easy fix 1 or 2 options or both Turn off advance driver setting from the controller instructions # 1 press edit use value knob and turn to SYS press enter press edit again scroll and find SY10 press enter turn advance driver setting off press enter press enter again to turn play mode on finished. # 2 also go to applications folder scroll and find the roland folder and delete the folder because the driver inside has the 🚫sign over it. now your Roland controller will default to your commputers generic midi controller drivers. enjoy!
