I'm sure you probably checked this but I didn't see it mentioned so I thought it was worth a mention. In the sound tab for your sound devices, once you select your default device there is a properties> advanced tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for allowing devices to take control. Control Panel>Sound>Click your soundcard>Properties>Advanced>Exclusive Mode>"Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device." I'm on Win 8.1 so it might be slightly different. I use a Duo Capture EX and after installing BandLab Cakewalk I fought with my card for a couple days until I unchecked this box. I also set my sound scheme to "No Sounds" and haven't had any issues since. Also I would check your manual on switching usb ports. On the Duo Capture whatever usb port you use when you install the driver is the one your stuck with. Roland specifically states that changing the usb port can cause issues. If I remember correctly, if I want to use a different usb port I have to uninstall the driver. Change the usb port and reinstall the driver after reboot.

I use drum maps for keyswitches for Kontakt instruments. Mostly orchestral. However, I agree with SG, would be great to be able to see it better. The contrast between text and background color is nearly non-existant. And a shot to the eyes if your using the darker interface. I've been through the theme editor top to bottom, changing every color I could find to florescent pink, trying to find that background or the text color. And I did the same in the preferences>colors. No luck. The only workaround I've found is zooming in really close on the drum map. And that gets quite fiddly. Change zoom on drum map and piano roll disappears...get piano roll back and drum map disappears....eventually you get them both back up and big enough to see drum map. I set it as a lens to save time.
