Look at the left window. Notice that it shows devices on MIDI Inputs. Make sure that the
“Roland RPC-1 MIDI” (Windows XP/2000) or “MIDI In Roland RPC-1” (Windows Me/98) is
highlighted. If the device isn’t highlighted, click on it once to select it for MIDI Input.

If you use other MIDI Inputs, you can select some MIDI input devices.

Look at the window on the right. Notice that it shows devices on MIDI Outputs. Make sure
that the “Roland RPC-1 MIDI” (Windows XP/2000) or “MIDI Out Roland RPC-1” (Windows
Me/98) is highlighted. If the device isn’t highlighted, click on it once to select it for MIDI

If you use other MIDI Output, you can select some MIDI
input devices. Highlight one device at a time in the

The

access the MIDI functions. Don’t select it as a MIDI output. This will prevent
potential MIDI looping problems which can confuse the MIDI interface and cause it
to crash.
