Yes. You can use the D50 with Studio One. However, you will need an audio interface for the audio connections, and a MIDI interface with In/Out ports. This will allow you to connect the D50 with your computer and to record Audio/MIDI into Studio One.

If you don't have an audio/midi interface, the Presonus AudioBox USB is a great interface: https://www.presonus.com/products/audiobox-usb

Here is a guide on setting up hardware keyboards with Studio One. http://support.presonus.com/hc/en-us/articles/210044153-Studio-One-How-do-I-setup-a-hardware-keyboard-synthesizer-in-Studio-One-

Hello, unfortunately, this does not work. AudioBox iTwo + Roland D-50. No matter what combination of settings, no sound. This is much to complicated. It should be fun to make music ... frustration level quite high already.

And: If I play with no MIDI connection, I need to use Windows Audio because your AudioBox iTwo does not allow to be heard using the computer. How can this be changed? I do not hear music using a headphone. Friends of mine do make musik with no headphones on, they connect their insturments ot a box, box to computer, no headphones necessary.

They could not understand the AudibBox iTwo.

Could you kindly help me. I know all these help videos and connections videos, it does not work. Not with my Roland, not with my Yamaha. It seems the audiobox is the problem, but Thomann (where I bougth the box) could not help, too. I hope you have a solution.

Thank you in advance,

regards,
