Roland A-800PRO Owner's manual

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant, and I've reviewed the user manual for the Roland A-PRO series MIDI controller keyboards, including A-300PRO, A-500PRO, and A-800PRO models. The manual details how to connect to your computer, install drivers, and use features like Control Maps and MIDI message assignments. I'm ready to help with any questions you have about setting up or using your A-PRO keyboard so let's get started.
  • What is included in the A-PRO package?
    What should I do if I have missing items in my box?
    What should I do before using the device?
    Can I use any USB cable with this product?
