FYI:
 
"Your computer automatically downloads the Windows(R) 10 driver from the Internet when the OCTA-CAPTURE is connected to the computer."




Well this is new... Up until now MS (or third parties) has failed badly to distributed drivers via MS Update. Odd out of date driver here and there but no much.  Maybe that situation is changing...

It is changing, There are now more product drivers that Windows 10 will install automatically.
 
Great move.

By far the best audio interface to play doom. You can't take that away from them.

Quad Capture is working fine under windows 10. Looks like it is still using the old driver. The bad news is my PCR 800 keyboard, which is just connected to a USB port is no longer working. When I restart, it lights up, and then goes dead. If I remove the cable and reconnect, it lights up, and then stops working. I thought it would have been the Quad Capture that I would have had trouble with, never thought the keyboard which is just plugged into the USB port. It doesn't even look like Roland is working on a driver from that link.

Oh dear... What if you connect it to your D-C via MIDI cable? I'm guessing it will need a power supply though. I've got the PCR-300, as well as a Q-C.
 
Might have to ditch the PCR for a newer model...

I THINK NOT!!
 
I just checked on the link http://www.roland.com/support/support_news/250024 and was appalled at the number of perfectly good products that Roland are not going to support under Windows 10!
 
This includes my own UA25-EX which is an excellent audio interface that Roland have no excuse for dropping.
 
I AM UTTERLY DISGUSTED WITH ROLAND!
 
Unless things change, it will be the last product I ever buy from them.

You might find you will be utterly disgusted with a number of other manufacturers that may be taking up the same strategy as well ..... You better stick with your current OS and start lobbying Roland...

My view if they discontinue they should make the drivers open source, whereupon they may end up being better than ever in the end. Here's to hoping...
