Unable to find device in config.

Hi Sherry
The device does not appear in the list for devices so I gather the software is not recognising the attached USB Roland Edirol UM1- X. This midi USB device is a few years old but I have downloaded the latest driver for 64bit Windows 7 and ensured switch is on advanced driver. Have since loaded Sony Acid Music Studio 7, which I have on disk for XP, onto this computer. Studio 7 has a similar device list to select from, and a play your instrument recognition for MIDI record. Both send and receive work on Studio 7 with the device listed as UM-1. For interest, I have a Video editing program, created for windows 7. This program produces NVIDIA graphics driver crashes and recoveries. Also additional codecs, downloaded and installed are not recognised by the program. Otherwise the computer is very stable and fast.

Hi, Trevor:

For what it's worth, I have used the UM-1 device (and now a UM-4) with Composer with no problems, under XP.

I've used several midi devices with Composer over the years and can't recall Composer not recognizing any device that I have installed, so I can't offer any real help, just that Composer DOES work with the UM-1.

You appear to know what you're talking about, so I assume you have re-booted since the installation of the UM-1. (That's from the "Duh!" file.)

Actually, try the device without the advanced switch on and see what happens.

Good luck.

Howdy guys,

One other item to try is reinitializing your MIDI Device Configuration.
If you've done a bit of "custom" configuring, they you may want to use "Config/Clone" to create a backup. Then, use Config/Initialize, and Composer will reinitialize your configuration, and should detect the UM-1 (make sure it's on).

ttfn,
Sherry
