Have been absent for a real quite long time from here.
I grabed lot of things in this period, such as VP3(S7) and i855(S479) motherboards, PMMX 233 and K6-233 cpus, Roland MPU-105 Midi Selector, Sony Optical Digital Selector, Edirol SD-20,
And the Ediroal SD-90 of this topic...
Roland's drivers support is quite weird, even both SD-20 and SD-90 are listed under the same Edirol SD series, SD-20 works like a charm with Win10, driver of SD-20 will be automatically installed when plugging it in. Since the SD-20 is a MIDI "only" module without too much extra functions, it will work fine with any rig if there is a proper midi interface available.
But when it comes to SD-90, it is a shit... SD-90 has a integrated sound unit with many functions, which means I need the proper drivers to make it works perfectly. But there is no official win10 driver support, the automatically updated driver can't work at all, even the compatible win8.1 drive can't be installed in my case although I disabled the driver signature already (I don't know why)...
Besides, in the Roland official site of US, only the drivers from vista to win8.1 are available, and win9x~XP drivers can be found in Roland JP site, but THEY ARE IN JAPANESE ONLY, which means the only things u will get are bunches of unreadable text garbling due to the poor compatibilities to Asian characters of Win9x, 2k and XP. But I do wish to use SD-90 in win 9x and XP...
So, are there available official ENGLISH drivers for win 9x~XP, or any excellent modified win 10 driver for my poor Edirol SD-90?? It will be very grateful if some one can help me out of these problems.
BTW, I love the sound qualities of SD-20 and SD90, it is amazing and far more beautiful than the SC series', if u don't care its sound originality.
The NOOB of noobs!!
