Roland SI-24 updates & remote controll files

For reference sakes:

The nessesary downloads for the Roland Studio Package Pro II users with the SI-24 remote controller & the RPC-1 (based on M-audio R-BUS card) is scattered all over the net.

So for all users: here is where to get it:

RPC-1 driver files
The RPC-1 and the M-audio Delta R-BUS are allmost the same card. Only some software on the card itself is different.
There is a new Delta R-bus driver for Vista 32bit available. This could work for the RPC-1 allthough I have not tested this yet.
RBUS delta Vista driver
Roland RPC-1 driver for XP & 2000

I updated my PC from Win XP to Vista upon seeing the availability of the RBUS delta Vista driver and am sad to report that it doesn't work with the Roland RPC-1 card. I too have successfully used M-Audio Delta drivers to update the XP drivers for my RPC-1 card. However with Vista this doens't work.

Vista continues to use the older XP drivers for my RPC-1 card (5.10.00.5046) and says that the device is working properly but it is not. It does not play windows sounds nor does it work with Sonar. In fact I can't get Sonar to even load or re-install properly with the sound card situation in this state.

I went into the Vista control panel, pointed it at the new vista drivers and told it that I had this device and it loaded an entry in my Device Manager called "M-Audio Delta R-BUS" that it cannot find. I have a hunch that if I was smart enough to edit the .inf file for this driver that I maybe could be it to map to the Roland RPC-1 card but I don't think I'm up for it.

I can't find anyone who sells the the M-Audio Delta RBUS card - not even on eBay so they must be very rare.

I will shortly flatten my machine and return to XP which is a bitter pill to swallow after spending most of the day to get Vista up and running - but I need to get Sonar back.....

I sold my delta r-bus about a year ago, but kept the SI-24. Both were pretty good but I moved to an E-MU 1212m for audio. i use the SI-24 controller strictly through MIDI.

I thought with Roland being a major investor in Cakewalk now, maybe they'd update the driver for the SI-24. Don't know , I got mine from a zZounds blowout the winter of 2005 for $250.

Here's hoping.

I now have the RPC-1 working under W7
