Thanks all for your thoughts.
My "Edirol" (generic) is pretty new as my original Blue Edirol would not work with Windows 10.
While the keyboard was working I was at least able to get sounds via this new device. This new controller as the old one, has a USB on one end and 2 x 5 pin midi plugs on the other.
Think a controller keyboard will do the job and that at least will challenge me to get the on board midi sounds working. I have purchased the Coyote software so that should be all I need to get sufficient sounds.
Cheers
