I've got the solution! My controller works perfect now!
Sorry that it's in english but I already typed this for the guy in India...
Here are the steps:
- first download UpdSMF from here:
https://www.rolandus.com/support/downloads_updates/eula.php?FileName=SMFPLAYR.ZIP
then, download this file

and unzip it to your harddrive

1. Switch off the power to the unit.
2. At the underside, change switch EXT A to its unmarked side and switch
EXT B to the side indicated by a star.
3. Using the USB cable, connect the unit and the computer.
4. Switch on the power to the unit.
5. Start UpdSMF.exe.
6. Set MIDI Out Device to A-PRO.

14. Switch off the power to the unit.
