Though this device comes advertised as having MIDI functionality through its USB port with Windows XP, the drivers are incompatible with Windows XP Service Pack 2. Roland has no fix at this date 1/13/05.

I have solved the issue that prevented the USB working with this device. It appears to be the fault of a bug in Windows XP. If you navigate to the registry key:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32


Then go to the "midi1-9" keys, you will see that most are probably taken up all by the same driver. Delete one and reinstall the Roland usb midi device driver, and all works well. Apparently there is a 10 driver limit, and windows once hitting that cap will not install anymore drivers on the list, even if all 10 drivers listed are the same driver.
