Does this driver support midi over RBUS? So an RPC-1 can stream audio and midi from and to an SI-24?
 
I was able to use the original latest drivers on the RBUS card by right clicking in SYSTEM and adding the driver manually. I did looze midi over RBUS though.
 
My system now holds two M-audio RBUS cards and one RPC-1

I tried above drivers and saw the same. You loose midi over RBUS. But I was able to use a latency of 64 samples. Wich is something not available in XP. As far as I am aware of.

I tried it too.   MIDI does not work,   Also, my PC will no longer shutdown properly but that may or may-not be related to this driver.   
Most concerning is that I found that Sonar would often hang.   I then upgraded from Sonar 7 to Sonar 8.5 because that is the only version that officially supports Windows 7 but it still hangs often.     I found that on some of my more complex songs (lots of tracks and lots of effects) that the sound would sometimes just not work under 64 bit Windows 7.   Lots of quirks.   

I downgraded to 32 bit Windows 7 using the same driver and it worked somewhat better.

I so wish that a high quality RBUS driver w/ MIDI support would be released.   I love my Roland SI-24 but it seems like it's days are numbered.

I´ve got the same problem. Need help! Every time I´m going to work on a session I waste my time on fixing this problem. Is there any solution out there?
Excuse my english, but I´m from Germany :-).

What version of the chip ROM do you have?

You need at least to have ver. "RPC-1A03" , the original ROM  "RPC-1A02" is defective.

Call Roland for the replacement

PARTS

"#02899067 -------------- IC SERIAL ROM XC17S30XLPD8C (RPC-1A03)

The driver has been tested with Windows 7 Ultimate and two RPC-1 boards connected to two VS-2480 workstations and it works well.

The limitations in the MIDI side are inherent to the design of the RPC-1 , it only supports realtime system common messages (less SysEx).

Wow zxczxc!

I use two RPC-1 cards at home with some Edirol DA-2496 rack units. I thought they were gonna be paperweights!

If I get the time to reformat my home PC to Win7. I'll chime in here with what I get with S8.5.2

Gotta check those ROM numbers too.

I was trying to find this as the download links are broken here, but was able to find the file, so if anyone else is looking for this I found it here: 

Thanks for the driver!
