Re: Roland XV5050 & Electro 6D
As far as I know, Roland did not ever release officially supported drivers for Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 for any of its XV synths.
I have seen many report they got it working with Windows 7 or Windows 8 (and I did this with Windows 7).
This post describes one person's success in connecting an XV-2020 to Windows 10:

(The XV-2020 and XV-5050 are similar, except that the XV-2020 really cannot be programmed from its built-in front panel, while the XV-5050 can if you have done it before and have a lot of patience)
Back in 2016 I got my XV-5050 to connect to my Windows 7 PC:

A similar method might work with Windows 10, but I have never attempted it.
I have since upgraded to Windows 10 and I have not bothered to try to connect my XV-5050 to Windows 10,
since my XV-5050 is now just a backup device.
I would probably try to method of the user who got their XV-2020 connected to Windows 10 first.

Thanks a lot Harmonizer,
I managed to get so far with your helpful steps, cheers. I'll have a look again tomorrow at finishing it off . . .
Cheers.

Re: Roland XV5050 & Electro 6D
Hi Paul,
I also wrote this in the other forum:
not sure if this will work but I suggest to do the following (the options to chose may be called different on your computer, I am working on a german version of Windows and therefore don't know exactly the correct english names of all menu options, but I think you get what I mean):
1) connect your XV-5050 to your computer
2) open the Windows device manager, chose the XV-5050 in the list of devices, right-click on it and uninstall the device -> select to uninstall the related driver as well if this option is available
3) disconnect your XV-5050 from the computer
4) uninstall the A-800 Pro driver using the uninstall.exe program which is available in the directory where you unpacked the A-800 Pro zip file into
5) reboot the computer
6) install the A-800 Pro driver again with the setup.exe program delivered with the driver
7) connect your XV-5050 to your computer, have it install whatever the system wants to install as a driver for it
8) when XV-5050 appears in the list of devices in Windows device manager right-click on the XV-5050 and chose "update driver"
9) chose "Browse my computer for drivers"
10) chose "select from a list of installed drivers on my computer"
11) de-select "show compatible hardware" ! this should expand the list to all available drivers
12) chose "Roland" from the vendors list and then "A-Pro"
13) in case of any warning to not install because the driver does not match the device: ignore it and chose "continue anyway" or similar option
Now the A-Pro driver should be used for your XV-5050, but it might appear as "A-PRO" in the Windows device manager list of available devices rather than "XV-5050"
Hope it works
Best regards, Schorsch

Re: Roland XV5050 & Electro 6D
Hi Schorsch,
I have tried for over an hour now but to no avail, unfortunately.
I tried the process many times but did not manage to get any further - same results I'm afraid.
But I really do appreciate your time and effort here as always.
Much appreciated,
Paul

Re: Roland XV5050 & Electro 6D
Hi again,
Just spent some more time on it -
I know this sounds like a bit of a can of worms, but I was able to make a slight step forward, although you may not view this as being significant:
If I connect a USB from the PC to my Electro 6, and then a MIDI OUT from my Nord into the MIDI IN of the XV5050 module, the virtual-keyboard (of the Editor) reflects exactly which notes I am playing on the Nord. Also, it triggers the presets on the XV5050 and I can 'hear' the sound of each respective instrument. And, obviously, the MIDI LED on the front-panel of the XV5050 lights/dims in tandem with my playing/triggering.
However, what I am NOT able to achieve is program-change (from within the Editor to the XV5050). Instead I am presented with an 'error' message.
I experimented with the different options in Device MIDI Set-Up and the result in the screenshot below seems to work the best (albeit without program-change).
Cheers,
Paul
