<p>Ibi-Sum's response on the A4K post reminded me that Roland
"obsoleted" it's old UM-1 and UM-1x midi interfaces. Most of you
probably use something else, but I was able to get it to install
on Windows 10 by fixing a couple of text files. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I found the instructions here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://johnwarburton.net/blog/?p=25289">http://johnwarburton.net/blog/?p=25289</a></p>
<p>You have to put your windows machine into test mode--I'm fairly
certain this procedure will be closed to us on Win 11 machines.
(yay capitalism!) <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>At any rate, I want to make sure this gets archived somewhere.
(My hunt for A4k materials has had me hitting wayback machine
ALOT.) <br>

<p>You can fix this with a text editor. Remember also you must set
your Windows installation NOT to enforce driver signing. Please
see the comments (below) for how to do this.</p>
<ol>
<li>Download from Roland the driver archive for Windows 8.1. Its
filename is <span style="font-family: monospace">um1_w81d_v101.zip</span>.
</li>
<li>Unpack the archive.
</li>
<li>If you have a 64-bit machine, browse within the archive to
this folder:<br>
<span style="font-family: monospace">um1_w81d_v101\Files\64bit\Files</span>
</li>
<li>Open the file <span style="font-family: monospace">RDIF1009.INF</span>
in your favourite text editor.
</li>
<li>Edit line 33, changing:<br>
<span style="font-family: monospace">%MfgName%=Roland,NTamd64.6.2,NTamd64.7</span>…to<br>
<span style="font-family: monospace">%MfgName%=Roland,NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.7</span>
</li>
<li>Edit line 42, changing:<br>
<span style="font-family: monospace">[Roland.NTamd64.6.2]</span>
…to <br>
<span style="font-family: monospace">[Roland.NTamd64.10.0]</span>
</li>
<li>Save this file and exit the editor.<br>
One successful user reported that he plugged-in the UM-1 at this
point.
</li>
<li>Browse to your Device Manager by holding down the ‘Windows’
key, pressing ‘R’, then selecting “Device Manager” from the menu
that appears.
</li>
<li>Double-click on your non-functioning UM-1, which will be
labelled “Unknown device”.
</li>
<li>Select the second tab: “Driver”
</li>
<li>Click the “Update driver…” button
</li>
<li>Click “Browse my computer for driver software”
</li>
<li>Browse to the folder containing the file you have just edited
</li>
<li>Click ‘OK’ to select the directory, then click ‘Next’
</li>
<li>When Windows complains “Windows can’t verify the publisher of
this driver software”, click “Install this driver software
anyway”
</li>
<li>Wait until you see “Windows has successfully updated your
driver software.
</li>
</ol>
<p>Done! You’ve installed the Windows 8.1 driver for the
Roland/Edirol UM-1X on Windows 10, even though Roland state they
don’t support this device. I can confirm that the MIDI input works
just fine.</p>
