If the computer doesn’t ‘see’ the JM-5
Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to
connect the JM-5 to your computer. However, if some
problem occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the
Roland original driver may solve the problem.
For details on downloading and installing the Roland
original driver, refer to the Roland website:
http://www.roland.com/
Specify the USB driver you want to use, and then install
the driver. For details, refer to “USB Driver” on p. 57.
