Roland Rd 700 Sx As Midi Controller

I've tried it with my Roland RD-500 and works great.

I was looking for a gig bag for my Roland FC-300 Midi Controller and ran across this alternative to Roland's way over-priced proprietary bags. The FC-300 fits perfectly in this bag and has an extra zippered storage area in the front for cables and power adapter. This is a perfect bag at the best price I could find at B&H. Very happy with this purchase.

Use it to connect a Roland TD-17 module to my computer as a midi controller. I was afraid of getting some latency, but it doesn't! Works perfectly.

I will never use another MIDI cable unless it is the Black Series from Roland

holds my midi controller perfectly, real nice.

I use this product for my Roland SPD-SX Sample Pad and it works great! The foam was easy to work with and was a breeze to cut out the pad dimensions. Another stellar product from Pelican.

I use this to transport a Roland SPD-SX back and forth between home and rehearsal. By itself the SPD-SX might be swimming around in her a bit (in terms of the depth only... the length and width are a perfect fit), but since I have a mounting plate installed on the unit, it fits in this case snugly. I could probably even add a bit of foam around the bottom to improve the unit's stability on the interior, but it's really not necessary. Outside and inside materials are rugged, padding is more than adequate for its design (this is a soft case, not a road box), and the front pocket is very spacious. Plenty of room for cables, folders, sandwich, you name it. The zippers are heavy duty as well. The shoulder strap is comfortable and convenient. Overall, another outstanding product from Gator. They're the only case I'll ever buy now.

Top quality cables. Work perfectly with my midi controller.

First of all: I ordered it on B&H and arrived the next day, free shipping!!! Wow! The Arturia Keystep is tremendously versatile and powerful controller. Everything is done right here! Plus, it's built very well!!! If you have hardware/software synths, a good computer (or two), a couple of iPads latest generations, buy it and you'll be more than satisfied! I use mine through Roland Juno-G, Roland GR-20, various laptops, iPads, iMac -- triggering lots of software, and I have to tell you that I can't stop using it! Don't forget one very important thing: it has a conventional MIDI IN/OUT, plus the USB, which also sends MIDI. Look around and try to find out how many controllers offer that sort of versatility?!? And for that price!!!??? Two things I have to figure out: how to save parameters from the Midi Control Center to the Keystep, and if I can plug it in into a battery (RAV) and only send the MIDI to an iPad, in order not to burn too fast through the iPad's battery. Other than that, look at the title of this post!!!

We are now short a drummer on occasion at church and so I needed to do drum tracks. There are Roland drums at church and I also have a Roland kit at home. I have a nice Steinberg audio interface for my iPad 6 running Cubasis but thought why not just use MIDI to record/edit/fix/playback the drum tracks. The Steinberg while great for audio (and MIDI) is kind of big in comparison and a cabling hassle with the additional Lightning camera interface and two wall warts. This IK is awesome. Just the Lightning cable between it and the iPad, and one MIDI cable to either the home (recording) or church (playback) Roland. That's it. Sure it takes battery from the iPad but that's no problem. For me it's a feature to not need a wall wart. I am always recharging multiple devices near-daily anyway.
