Roland xp 50 storage medium problem

My roland xp50 synthesizer stores my midi music files and programs via floppy disc which is so archaic nowadays if you ask me aside from the fact that the wear and tear of the floppy drive is open to great risks. the synth is so highly reliant on this drive. i want to know if there's any way to bypass this drive/ use another drive/medium to store and load midi files and allow this synth to connect directly to pc without the 3rd party accessories such as midi ports, etc.... Please advise me, thanks

Hi.

There is a solution that reads and writes on CF cards. It's call HDM uniflash or something like that.

I didn't try in my xp50, but others says it works.

A bit expensive for my taste, and maybe just for handy hands...

Regards.

How do i cannect my roland -09 to my PC then use FL studio or audacity with midi cables?

Do you mean the Roland E-09 or another Roland product? You need a MIDI to USB In/Out converter. Make sure that the converter is supported by the manufacturer with your OS version. One example is https://www.amazon.com/Converter-LiDiVi-Professional-Keyboard-Adapter/dp/B071KLC884 . This is a USB 2.0 device that works with Windows XP through Windows 10 and Mac OS X. A few others are reviewed here: https://www.musicrepo.com/best-selling-midi-interfaces-the-ultimate-top-10/ . You may need to be connected to the internet and allow your computer to obtain drivers for other devices. Connect the cable appropriately. Turn on the Roland device and make sure that your OS sees the USB device before launching your software. Note: Audacity can only import a MIDI file as a Note Track, https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Midi . You'll need additional software to capture the MIDI from the device. Some options are listed at the bottom of the Wiki page above. You may need to try several options to find a program that you like.

The Roland E-09 manual is available here: https://www.roland.com/us/support/by_product/e-09/owners_manuals/ . Other Roland support is available here: https://www.roland.com/us/support/ .

I hope this helps. I'm not familiar with FL Studio's menu. I haven't used Audacity's MIDI features. I use the software to digitize audio from Line In and microphone.

I have just aquired a Roland E-20 synthesizer which I am very pleased with, however, it doesn't have acoustic piano in the tone settings. Is it therefore possible to programme 'acoustic piano' onto the...

They use pre-programed chips. You will have to use the midi out feature to control another midi capable sound module or midi in to a computer and use the internal sound card.

My roland xp-50 keyboard is dead.

Ok guys. Just got mine XP50 fixed with the "No Display" problem. The LCD screen was blank without text and only shown orange color. The problem is one of the capacitors on the main board was dead. I have replaced all 3 caps on the main board and the problem is solved and if you are a little handy on soldering, you can do it yourself. The 3 caps you should replace are:

- C901 (I used 16V 330MicroF)
- C65 (I used 5V 4.7 MicroF)
- C 902 (I used 16V 330 MicroF)
