I plugged  in my PCR and it worked, I didn't do anything with settings or drivers or anything at all. I just thought I would pass that on. I know there are a bunch of PCR users out there. Cakewalk Roland VS-20 still doesn't though.

Amazing... Didn't work for PCR-300...
 
I'm wondering if a more recent Windows 10 update has fixed the problem... I'll give it a whirl
 
 

And still didn't work... No matter what I do.
 
Ah well... I thought, for a minute there, that I could bring my little PCR-300 out of retirement.
 
I must admit, however, that I'm enjoying getting my MIDI keyboards (JP-8000 and OB-12) back into action after over ten years of them gathering dust in a corner.
 
Every cloud has a silver lining, I believe 

Pretty old silver linings. If a piece of gear works it's worth is what it would cost to replace it no matter how old. Wish I could tell you why the PCR is working.

Did you update from Win 7 or 8 to Win 10? If so that may be why it's working. The driver was already installed.
 
I have officially sworn to not ever purchase Roland or Edirol "Pro" audio gear again.

Yeah, it was an update from 8.1. Didn't work for a few day then it it did. Prob be a different story if I do a clean reinstall of Win 10. I'm with you. PCR controllers are not that old and the VS-20 even newer but no drivers. I won't buy another Roland product.

I thought the same, but the OCTA-CAPTURE, which I bought at the beginning of the week, suits my latest needs so perfectly.
 
Fortunately, it is completely "plug'n'play..." No drivers needed (for now).

The no drivers is a great feature. Wish mine didn't need them.

I had to modify the Windows 8.1 PCR-500 drivers to make mine work in Win 10 (as did others - See Blades post on the Computer part of the forum).
 
Roland has has updated SOME device drivers to work in Win 10, such as the Octa-Capture and Studio-Capture.  They are now "plug and play" rather than having to manually install the drivers. 
 
Here is a list of updated drivers from the Roland site.  The PCR keyboards are NOT listed as supported.

(Edited for #%^$#$ typo).

I notice that list now has more Yes' that were previously No's. I wonder if they are responding to customers contacting them directly.
