You can get specific notes to play specific pads, but I'll have to check the manual to see how it's done (I just use the defualts myself).
cool, many thanks! I have checked the manual book, but haven't found that yet I have the drivers from the website, and its working great - I hope I can get the cds from Roland at all - the guy who I bought it from, also tried to have P606 from different sources, but by the time he sold it, haven't had it:)

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm having the exact same problem. Did you ever manage to get it working on your laptop? I'm asking because I only have one PC... and I want it to work on that one... somehow.
Naw.. Never got it to work.. I was told I would need to Re-install windows to wipe out the USB sockets.. However I just bought a $30 USB midi controller and it works fine.. Here is a blurb from a previous post that someone else had the same problem..

Thanks for your fast and useful reply Twitch, I really appreciate it. I guess I'm going to try to uninstall some more, but deinstalling other MIDI devices don't quite solve anything since I'm going to use the SP-606 in conjunction with those other devices... Hopefully it'll all be fine when I install the SP-606 first then. It's worth a try since it still beats the extreme hassle of reinstalling Windows!
