I'm trying to use my Roland FP-5 with Ableton Live on my macbook Pro. I have installed the driver (Roland Digital Piano USB Driver Ver.1.0.1 for Mac OS X), but it doesn't appear in Live's midi devices.

Do any of you know how to get this baby working?
 
You probably just have the wrong driver installed, seeing as that particular one seems to be for OSX 10.4. Download the correct one from here & try again (confusingly enough, those drivers don't even show up in roland.com's support section). And if all else fails, you can always buy a MIDI to USB cable & use the regular MIDI ports.
 
Thanks! Didn't get it to work, but my sound card has a midi input, so I'll just buy a midi cable for it instead. (Why didn't I think of that?)

Annoying, as I'm really eager to make music. I've been using FL with just a mouse for a long time, but for some reason it stumps my creativity in Live. (plus it sounds way too mechanical)
