yep, one of the better rollouts, I've seen to date.

Mack,
Agreed...Just read the latest information on the SONAR "Gloucester" Windows 10 update in the eZine.pdf (put it on this morning) which has some benchmarks on the performance of Sonar Windows 8.1 vs Windows 10. From all accounts what we are seeing as far as increases in stability, latency and software response from our rigs is consistent with the testing....
 
I now have everything back and loaded on my system... and for good measure at the end, uninstalled my 700 drivers and re-installed them again just to see if there would be any new conflicts.  No problems so far.

I went and emailed Roland support and pointed them toward our thread...

Thanks for doing that, Dur.  And thanks for consolidating all our steps into a single post.  Much appreciated!
 
Roland doesn't have much excuse for not providing official support for the VS products, based one what we were able to hack together.  At this point it would be just terribly bad PR for them, not to get new drivers out.

Mac, you are using the VS100 in Win10?

Hi Grem,
 
Yes, the VS-100 is working great in Win 10.

Not sure if anyone else hit this, but when I tried doing the F7 to boot Windows 10 with signatures disabled, for my case, it made windows 10 unstable and while I could get to the login prompt and start Win10, once it got to the main screen, I couldn't use file manager, not even the start button.  So in my case, I'm guessing there is some leftover other driver from my Win 7 setup (I did an upgrade, not a clean install) that is unsigned that is giving Win 10 grief.
 
Anyway, just posting this in case anyone else hits this.
 
Hopefully Roland does post new drivers for the VS100 (what I have) and the VS700 that are Windows 10 compliant as I really like what I see otherwise in Windows 10.

Roland's response yesterday to my message I sent about our thread:
 
Thank you for the information. We will forward this to the appropriate department for them to review.
Thanks again,
Roland Product Support
 
Here's the message to Roland that I sent:
No question but did want to report a solution to the legacy VS 700 Windows 10 installer. We, over at the Sonar Cakewalk Hardware Forum, under the thread "v700 and Windows 10" have found a mod to the rdif1089.inf that makes it possible to force the installer to now work ... so far the driver has been stable. That being said we did have to disable the driver-signatures to get the mod to work.
Hope this helps your tech folks in getting a Roland installer/driver out to the many VS 700 folks who love their rigs but also want to take advantage of the Windows 10 improvements for SONAR.
Thanks!
Dur

Pretty non-committal stuff from them there, which I suppose is all they can do in the customer service department.

Right, just installed Windows 10, followed dustriplin's steps to the letter, and everything is working fine. Whole process took around an hour.
 
Excellent work all round people.
