control surface plugin for roland v700c in cakewalk by bandlab (windows 10 )needed

[franz]

hello, i am looking for the control surface plugin for roland/cakewalk v700c (i have the roland v-studio, v-700c console and v-700r rack) with the free software cakewalk by bandlab under windows 10 (64bit). everthing works fine with the v-700r, but the console plugin for v-700c is not in the control surface-menue (only mackie, which is not working correctly). the plugin from cakewalk.com (version 1.2) is not available, cause "New Cakewalk account creation is currently disabled". the old version 1.0.0.1 on cakewalk.com is not compatible with the latest free software cakewalk by bandlab...can you help me? best regards, franz from switzerland

hello sean,

finally, this is my problem with the roland vs 700 system (console and rack), cakewalk by bandlab and the missing control-surface-plugin for v700c (console) in detail. as i wrote before, it does not work yet with your file (vs700_wind-v202.zip).

is it the same file as i downloaded before from the roland download-page? https://www.roland.com/us/products/v-studio_700/downloads/
or is your file different, including the control-surface-plugin for the the v700c (console)?

i followed your steps with deactivated driver-signature procedere, but i always get a error "you have to deinstall.exe in the same folder first, before you can start the file setup.exe", which i tried..i think, something goes wrong in the file-directory but i am not sure where, before i contacted you:

i bought the roland system vs 700 (included with sonar x1 cd-rom) some time ago, second hand, but it was never used and not registered. the registration-webpage from cakewalk is not avaiable anymore, so i decided to start  the system from beginning with the free version cakewalk by bandlab and windows 10.

first i installed the files from the roland download-page (always with deactivated driver-signature) https://www.roland.com/us/products/v-studio_700/downloads/

- V-STUDIO 700 IO Editor for Windows
- V-STUDIO 700R (RACK) System Update v1.30 for Windows (firmware)
­- V-STUDIO 700C (CONSOLE) System Update v1.31 for Windows (firmware)
- V-STUDIO 700R (Rack) USB Driver Windows v2.0.2

after many tries, in the settings of cakewalk, i get the console to "wake up" with the mackie-setting (the only one, who "wakes up" the console), but of course, the buttom-codes are not the same, so it does not work correctly, but it shows me, that it works in general. so i was looking for the control-surface-plugin (vs700.dll) and founded it on the cakewalk-forum (discuss.cakewalk.com) https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/22633-vs-700-control-surface-plugin-csp-file-from-cakewalk-needed/

first, i tried to drag and drop without any command in the cakewalk control-surface folder. i think, that was a big mistake, because windows does not like file-transmissions without commands..then i tried it with a command from a german website https://vario-productions.de/vs-700-surface-im-neuen-sonar-weg-wie-die-act-control-surface-in-wieder-sonar-anmelden/. it does not work, because it was not the correct command for my soft- and hardware below (what would be the command for my soft- and hardware?) or something goes wrong after the no-command tries..anyway, afterwards, i could not install anything with the official setup-procedure; unfortunately, i am musician an not it-specialist..

maybe it would be best, if i would reset the computer and install the cakewalk by bandlab and all the usb-drivers properly again? (except the two firmware-files?) it would not be a problem, i bought a hp elitbook 840 second hand only to control the vs-700 system and the cakewalk-software a month ago and would not risk or loose any files.

what do you think? what are the exact steps from the beginning, after reseting the computer? do i have to install your file (vs700_wind-v202.zip) instead of the file with the same name on the roland download-page?

i will not give up until this great roland vs 700 system and cakewalk by bandlab works in windows 10 100% together:-)
thank you so much in advance, i really appreciate your help!

best regards

The surface plug-in is vs700.dll from https://github.com/Cakewalk/Cakewalk-Control-Surface-SDK/blob/master/Bin/x64/VS700.dll

It does not matter in which directory it is, but you need to open command console (type "cmd" in windows start, you will see it, right click and select "run as administrator"), change to the directory with the file (something like "cd C:\the\directory\path") and then run "regsvr32 vs700.dll". Notice in case you get an error.
