When people ask about the best control surface, VS-700 is often the answer; and it has been my answer as well.
 
I just read, however, that it does not work correctly with Windows 10.  There is a work-around, but the cost is a loss of some functions.
 
If that is true, I need to 1-put off Win10 as long as possible and 2-start shopping for another console.
 
Any information?

Does this help? http://www.driverscape.com/download/vs-700-m2

Out of curiosity, where did this driver come from? It's not on the Roland VS700 support page... which is still an active page.

Thanks, Buz.  I don't know if that helps because I am still on Win 7, but I will save the link.
 
I'm also curious about Steve's question.
 
Take care.

I have to agree Konradh - I have enjoyed my VS-700 but if it is not going to compatible to Windows 10 - I'm going to be needing someone to recommend another Controller...

Unfortunately - change is inevitable :-)
 

With a trick it is possible to install the 8.1 driver under Windows 10. That works really.
(Disable driver signing during installing)
Then a missing vs700.dll must be copied from an older Sonar Version to the current Version to Sonar - and registered (regsvr32.exe) in the System. (...\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces)
Because cakewalk does not deliver this dll in the current Sonar (license Problem with Roland)
At the Moment I have a working VS700 console.
 
Currently I'm not missing a function.
No one knows how long it works.

Just don't update.....   If it ain't broke... don't fix it!
