If you have songs already "recorded" in your Roland, you should also look up something called Midi Beat Clock in the PT User manual. You will want to synchronize the two sequencers (Roland and PT) and the way to do that is by using Midi Beat Clock. That way they both run at the same tempo and you'll be able to easily edit the midi notes in Protools once they've been recorded. You should synchronize your Roland to the "external" midi sequencer, PTLE. In other words, your XP50 should be in "slave" mode and then you run PTLE and it should then begin playing the song (if you have it in song mode).

If you don't use Midi Beat Clock (sometimes simply called Midi Clock), your midi recording in PTLE will not line up to the bars exactly and it will be very difficult to edit later.
