Problem: I have an Roland Edirol UA-1000 10-Channel audio interface. It is still as good as what is out there and the last driver update for it was based upon Windows 7. It is hit/miss on Windows 10 compatibility.
What I would like to do is decrypt the driver and update it to work. I'm not sure if that is possible but this interface does much more than anything out there right now (i.e. clocking, optical, midi, coaxial, ADAT, etc.) unless you want to buy 3-4 separate pieces. The driver is just incompatible with Win10.
I have worked as a developer the past 10 years (e.g., VB.net, Java, Javascript, VBScript, SQL, Android) so I would like to try updating the driver for this interface.
Would it be possible... any suggestions outside of "buy something new?"
Check on GearSpace.com. My house in disarray now because we're having some work done so I can't look for my notes. My UA-1000 DOES work with Win 10, there are drivers that work and a procedure to follow and I believe I found the info on GearSpace.com. I just updated my software to REAPER and although I haven't recorded anything yet the meters on my UA-1000 and the input show up in REAPER on my PC so don't go nuts trying to rewrite software.
The only downside to the UA-1000 is the 8 audio in's and outs because if you want to expand to 16 ch's using ADAT and another interface you can't record above 48Khz.
