Six years is not an unthinkable period to expect driver support for a product, especially when the product was available for sale for several years after that. Remember, I myself, and I'm sure quite a few others, did not buy the v-studio 20 and then look for software to run it with. That's simply good business. The V-Studio 20 was released in March of 2010. Companies who partner need to see potential ties being severed at some point and, at the very least, make working contracts which ensure customer support for hardware for a reasonable amount of years. Hell, with all the thousands of dollars I've paid to Cakewalk for software over the years (and I'm sure I'm not the only one), you'd think it'd be important to Cakewalk to invest in long term customers by going the extra mile and pulling a few strings to keep the hardware they sell viable for at least a few years. I don't think it'd start WW3 for Cakewalk to call up Roland and ask for a driver to be written, even if it's going to cost Cakewalk money. And the whole "blame game" on Roland is bologna, because when my actual piece of hardware says CAKEWALK on it (yes, "Cakewalk by Roland") that means that Cakewalk was making an additional statement of their support of that hardware by having their name stamped on it.
Just because this "dropping the ball" on drivers phenomenon is quite common doesn't make my rant "unnecessary". On the other hand I do believe that Roland's actions are questionable and perhaps they should be very very very ashamed.īut how many hardware companies are there that just drop support for a product that is only a few years old but works perfectly if only for a driver. Roland provided the Driver Not Cakewalk, again Cakewalk have nothing to be ashamed about. Roland made the hardware not Cakewalk, Cakewalk have nothing to be ashamed about. I know because I got my friends V20-Studio working under win 10 by following the information provided in that thread. Inexcusable, Cakewalk!! You guys oughta be ashamed!!!įollow the instructions in this thread and you will get it working. Heck, this is a hardware device I bought specifically from Cakewalk, for Sonar, just a few years back, and Cakewalk isn't keeping the product drivers current? I am currently not even able to use the V-studio now because I have Windows 10.
Frimpitsky I'm not going to renew my subscription for Sonar Platinum until I see some Windows 10 drivers for my V-studio 20.
