Hi .. I'm looking for help connecting my U20 keyboard (via midi interface cable) to the joystick port of my soundcard .. and using the U20 sound canvass to edit / playback midi files. I think i need a midi device driver so that windows is able to fetch sounds (for cakewalk) from the u20. It would be most appreciatec if anyone knows how i can do this .. or what Midi driver i need many Thanks. Ray

The U-20 is purely a MIDI equipped ROMupler (sample playback) keyboard. It's no 'sound canvas' so trying to use such an editor will not get you far. Don't even think the U-20 had a GM mode. If you are using Cakewalk, it sounds to me if you are referring to a definition file. This lists the presets, making patch selection from Cakewalk easier as what is on the screen matches the LCD of the U-20. I'm unable to access Cakewalk at the moment, so I'm not sure if there's a def file in there or not. If there is, I'm sure it will be in the Roland folder. I also believe the U-220 is the same beast minus the actual keyboard.
