A-PRO 500 and Garageband

[Uomopagaia]

Hi everyone,
I am a total Noob of keyboards and midi.
I am trying to use a Roland A-500 Pro that I got from a friend with garageband but I was only able to male work it only once.
I try to explain myself: I can actually play and use the wheel, but I cannot use the controllers like PLAY, RECORD, AND STOP nor the PADS.
It's seems like the controller is not fully recognized.
I would have give up but using those functions but yesterday I plugged-in and for some reason every was working perfectly, today NOPE, I tried everything, from reinstalling the drivers to use the A-PRO editor to load up new mid mapping, I tried factory reset.
Still nothing.
I have not clue of what I'm doing wrong.

I am on a Mojaves os.

Is here anyone brave and patient enough that can try to help me out?
