I’m going to be updating my USB 2.0 interface from the Roland M 16-DX to the Roland V-100 to use with MC6 Win 8 64 bit. I’m hoping this will be a more integrated setup using hardware motorized fader, keypad transport and soft knobs for the DAW functions. I’ve found an downloadable upgrade for the Roland V-100 for Win 8 and the V-100 includes Sonar 8. (Which I’m already a registered user for (Producer) , but I’m wanting to and hoping to run MC6 instead). I’m wondering if MC6 will support ACT MIDI Controller function and Plug-in and if it will work on WIN 8/64? I’ve checked the resource pages for Roland and Cakewalk and couldn’t find the any compatibility issues. Does anyone have any experience with this combo? Thanks for your help.

If you have producer why are you wanting to use mc instead?

Mc6 does support ACT but there are a lot of functions it does not support.

Thanks for the reply. I really don't do any actual recording or composing. I simply play along with MIDI song files and find SONAR to be too much of a resource hog for what I'm doing. Project 5 was fine, but I just update my PC, bought a new boxed version of MC-6 XP (ordered before I updated my PC) and I'll upgrade it to MC6- Touch Win 8. I really hope that it all integrates well with the Roland/Cakewalk V-100. Any help is appreciated...

I don't have the vs-100 but I see no reason why it wouldn't work with MC6.
