Anybody knows if I can get Win 7 drivers anywhere for Roland SC
series.
SC-8850, SC-8820, SC-D70.
Thanks.

Those are external MIDI devices, aren't they? As such, I don't think
they would need Windows system drivers.

I see you're right. I had never heard of these before. 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.

I use USB, not serial. Used all 3 of them for years with XP and
Vista.
I do have GS Advanced Editor, but it has nothing to do with USB
drivers.

Vista 64 bit driver worked for Vin7 64 bit. Thanks Glenbo.
