In the upper right, click in the "Manufacturer" field and enter "Roland," then click in the "Device Name" field and enter "PC-200 MK II" (or however else you want to see it show up in the device list). In your case, since your Roland is just a keyboard controller and doesn't generate its own sounds, you want to set it up as a keyboard.Ĭlick on the "New Keyboard" option. If you have a keyboard that can generate its own sounds, you can set it up as either a keyboard or an instrument (or both) depending on whether you want to use it for MIDI input or MIDI output (or both). "New Control Surface" - Use this for a non-keyboard control device that you want to use for MIDI input.

"New Instrument" - Use this for a keyboard or sound module that you want to use for MIDI output (i.e., to receive MIDI from Studio One).

I get the signals on Midi-OX with one of the Midi ends plugged into the keyboard, but not the other so I've made the assumption that it will all function with just that one cable end plugged in.
