004
• Never use or store the unit in places that are:
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heatgenerating equipment); or are
•Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
•Humid; or are
•Exposed to rain; or are
•Dusty; or are
•Subject to high levels of vibration.
...............................................................................................
2
• Make sure you always have the unit placed
so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble,
or on inclined surfaces.
...............................................................................................
•This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at
a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.
...............................................................................................
•Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
...............................................................................................
• Immediately disconnect the USB cable, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page when:
•If smoke or unusual odor occurs
•Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or
•The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or
•The unit does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
...............................................................................................
• In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules
essential for the safe operation of the unit.
...............................................................................................
•Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)
...............................................................................................
•DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional audio CD player. The resulting sound may be of a level that could cause permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers or other system components may
result.
...............................................................................................
• Try to prevent cords and cables from
becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of
the reach of children.
...............................................................................................
•Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.
...............................................................................................
• Disconnect all cords coming from external devices before moving the unit.
...............................................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2 and 3, please read and observe the following:
Placement
•Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
•This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
•Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
•Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
•When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
Maintenance
•For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
•Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
•Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
•When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
•To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
•When you need to transport the unit, package it in the case that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
4
•Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.
•Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
Handling CD-ROMs
•Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Windows)
About the Driver Modes
What is a driver?
A “driver” is software that transfers data between the UA-1EX and application software running on your computer, when your computer and the UA-1EX are connected. The driver sends data from your application to the UA-1EX, and from the UA-1EX to your application.
About the driver modes
The UA-1EX has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a different driver is used by each mode.
|
This mode uses a dedicated audio driver created specifically for the UA-1EX. |
||
|
When this dedicated driver is used, you can record/play/edit audio with high quality |
||
|
and stable timing. |
||
ON |
Normally, you should use Advanced Mode. |
||
In Advanced mode, audio signals can be transferred between the UA-1EX and the |
|||
(Advanced |
|||
mode) |
computer at a resolution of 16/24 bits and sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48/96 kHz. |
||
|
Choose Advanced mode if you are using sequencer software that supports 96 kHz or |
||
|
24-bit audio, such as the Cakewalk series; or ASIO-compatible sequencer software |
||
|
that can record, play, and edit high-quality audio, such as Cubase VST or Logic. |
||
|
( “Installing the Driver” (p. 15)). |
||
|
This mode uses the standard USB audio driver provided by Windows. |
||
|
You can use this mode without installing the dedicated driver. |
||
|
In Standard driver mode, audio signals are transferred between the UA-1EX and the |
||
OFF |
computer at a resolution of 16 bits and sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz. |
||
Choose this mode if you are using sequencer software that uses Window’s own func- |
|||
(Standard |
|||
tionality, such as sequencer software that uses the CD-ROM drive of your computer |
|||
driver |
|||
to play CD audio, or that uses the software synthesizer included with Windows. |
|||
mode) |
|||
( “Installing the OS-Standard Driver” (p. 44)). |
|||
|
|||
|
* |
The driver included with Windows does not support ASIO. |
|
|
* |
Standard driver mode does not support 96 kHz or 24-bit. If you want to use 96 kHz or 24- |
|
|
|
bit audio, turn the ADVANCED (mode select) switch ON. |
|
