Motif88 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Is anyone else having problem with their Roland RD-2000 and Logic Pro X or MainStage? When using the RD-2000 as the audio output device in Logic Pro X or MainStage the audio cuts off and stops playing consistently even while midi data continues to be transmitted. After this happening dozens fo times, I switched the audio output in Logic from the RD-2000 to the built in output of my iMac. No more audio drops. This is less than optimally. I bought an RD-2000 as a great digital piano/midi controller and the fact that it had a built in audio interface. Not being to set soft synth volume levels from the RD-2000 sucks. It seems, either audio interface on my RD-2000 is broken or the software needs to be updated. RD-2000 system software 1.5 (0051) 2015 iMac running Mac OS 10.14.5 Logic Pro X 10.4.4 MainStage 3.4.2 Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

johnnyd Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'm using the RD 2000 with Gig Performer with no issues.. Try asking over at the RD2000 forum (Roland Clan) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motif88 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Thanks but that forum is on life support... I solved other issues related to the Logic update to 10.4.5 which included the RD sliders changing volume settings across all MIDI channels event though the sliders are assigned to separate channels. I rolled back to Logic 10.4.4, deleting the Logic general prefs, control surface prefs and any/all files related to the Korg nanoKontrol Studio. Audio dropping when using the RD as the audio output in Logic and Mainstage even while MIDI continues to transmit over the sales USB cable remains an issue.

psionic11 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Total shot in the dark here -- My Integra has 2 different settings to choose which driver to use for USB. One is Roland's, the other is the more generic class compliant. Does your RD2000 have a choice as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motif88 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Yes, the RD-2000 OS has settings for generic and vendor usb audio. One is correctly set to vendor. I think my issues started when Logic auto updated to 10.4.5 Ive since restored to Logic 10.4.4 and rolled back Logic prefs. Still having audio output completing disappearing. I might have to set aside 3+ hours and try a clean install of Mac OS to get things functioning again...
