Getting Pro Tools to recognize USB-MIDI Interface - Setup

What channel is your XP transmitting on?

Also you should not have anything configured in Peripherals. If you still have the USB adapter configured there, get rid of it.

Yes USB has more than enough bandwidth to support midi.

I found it helped my connection issues and it helped my midi latency issue (which I didn’t even know I had)

chuck is correct, you should not have a MIDI peripheral defined—that's for stuff like console controllers. AMS establishes the MIDI routing for the Roland.

shouldn't your Roland be showing up in your MIDI Input list? the fact that it isn't is suspicious to me. you should double-click the Roland icon in AMS to see how it's configured.

i'm also suspicious of the cable interface you purchased. that could certainly be causing problems. do you know anyone who owns an old-school interface? (a box with 5-pin MIDI inputs and outputs and USB on the other end.) would be helpful to swap out that cable interfacer to see if it's the culprit.
