Here are (probably the same drivers) directly from the Roland site: http://www.roland.com/products/en/_support/dld.cfm?PRODUCT=SC-8850 I would expect the Vista drivers would work for Windows 7, but ya never know... It looks like you may need their special "GS Advanced Editor" software to easily get at the unit's deep parameters. It also looks like this unit dates from the Win98/2000 days. I don't see that software on the site, and even if I could find it I would be worried that it wouldn't work on the latest couple of Windows versions. Funny how something that seems so hi-tech at the time becomes obsolete so quickly.
Nil let loose with the following tirade: > On 12 May 2010, Serginho do Teclado <> wrote in > cakewalk.audio: > > > Anybody knows if I can get Win 7 drivers anywhere for Roland SC > > series. > > SC-8850, SC-8820, SC-D70. > > Those are external MIDI devices, aren't they?

I have an SC-880 and just use the MIDI ports these days. -- Cheers, Ben

I gave away my last hardware based module last year. It was a Roland SC880, and I gave it to my wife along with a Roland Vintage Keys module. Put them into a cheep rack and hooked 'em up at her church gig for her. Now I use nothing but pure softsynths, and I don't miss the hardware at all. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

I do have GS Advanced Editor, but it has nothing to do with USB drivers.

I would expect most Vista drivers to work with Win7. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms
