PLEASE JOEOSS PLEASE SEND ME I NEED IT SAME ISSUE, AFTER INSTALLING 64BIT WINDOWS DRIVERS CHEERS LEE

Hello,
 
I did everything from the posts above using p000001.mid file from a300pro for my a500pro and in the end i only get blank orange screen. Can anyone help me...?
 
Thanks.

Hey VisionHD,
 
Is your controller still in warranty? Because I had the issue again a year later and ended up sending it back to Roland, where they fixed the problem. They replaced the main board. And I am now using my controller for 4 years without a problem. I contacted this person and he helped me: 
I hope he still works there, because it's been 4 years.
Good luck, and hopefully you'll get it fixed!

Hey, I solved it... The problem was this step in desctiption

• 5. Start UpdSMF.exe.
• 6. Set MIDI Out Device to A-PRO. 

Step 6 says select Out device. After 50 tries it occured to me that it is strange to select midi out on device, if I want to receive the data, so I selected midi in, and smfupdate worked and the keyboard is fully operational.
 
So every other step is fine. Its just the step 6. which is described wrong.
 
Good luck! :)

Hi,
 
Lucky you!
For a brief months the keyboard did work after updating the firmware, then, agian, just the ugly orange screen.
I tried everything, and the keyboard just didn't work.
I don't have access to Roland Service in my country, so I took it to several technicians, and all of them said there was a problem with the main board.
So, I just had to discard the keyboard, which was, except for this, very good.
Never again buying Roland -
 
 

did u found somethin to fix it my friend ?

Nop... no fix.
Just bought another midi controller keyboard.
:(

Be careful before you update your driver from Roland's website, Windows may have already installed the latest driver and you my be effectively installing an earlier driver. Check it.
