• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/ or damage to speakers or other devices. (It is not necessary to turn off the power of your computer.)

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.

• 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.

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

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 box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• 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.

• Before you open the included CD-ROM, you must read the “license agreement." Opening the CD-ROM will be taken to mean your acceptance of the license agreement.

• 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.

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.

You must read this before you use digital recording

Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is prohibited by law.

When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection with an external instrument, this unit can perform recording without being subjected to some of the restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for musical production, and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as your own compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits second-generation and later copying through a digital connection. It is built into MD recorders and other consumer digital-audio equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)

On the UA-3

The UA-3 will function with partial SCMS support only for a digital input signal from an external device. When data containing SCMS ﬂags is input, for example from a MD that was digitally copied from a commercial music CD, the UA-3 will function as follows.

If input from the UA-3’s digital input connector:

• The UA-3 cannot record this data to your computer

• The audio will be output from the analog outputs (line output jacks, headphone jack) and digital output connector.

If input from the UA-3’s analog inputs (line input jacks):

• Recording can occur normally

Regardless of the presence or absence of the SCMS ﬂag, data that is received at the digital input connector of the UA-3 will be output directly from the digital output connector.

Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. Roland assumes no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.

This device does not support digital audio signals that are formatted for broadcast studio digital audio devices.

The UA-3 operates according to SCMS only for digital input signals from an external device. SCMS ﬂags are not added to the digital audio signals that are output from the UA-3.

Troubleshooting

Digitally recorded sound is distorted, pitch changes or contains noise

• If you are using a long digital cable, noise may occur or the sound may be distorted when it is connected. Use digital cables that are one meter (about a yard) or shorter.

• Does the sampling frequency setting in the application match the sampling frequency of the digital device connected to the digital input connector?

• When using digital recording, it is not possible to record in monaural. Set your recording software to the “stereo” setting.

Noise is present in the recorded sound

• It has been found that noise tends to be introduced in sound recorded on the iMac series models, which were released after the summer of 2000.

• In the SimpleSound application that is included with MacOS, noise will be heard in the sound if it is played back immediately after being digitally recorded. Save the sound ﬁrst, then try playing it back.

• Update the USB Audio driver to 1.0.5f4.

If the USB Audio driver, which is provided with the Mac OS, is under 1.0.4, update it to 1.0.5f4. You can download the driver from the URL below: http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11703

Checking the USB audio driver’s version

■ A blank (silent) ﬁle is created when you record

• Try setting the bit rate to “16bit.”

If you are using Windows98 Second Edition, and your recording software is set to a bit rate of 8 bits, a blank ﬁle may be created, so that you may not be able to record effectively. If this occurs, you will be able to record correctly by setting the bit rate to “16 bit”.

• Data that contains the SCMS ﬂag cannot be recorded digitally.

The UA-3 supports SCMS (p. 5), so that if SCMS-ﬂagged data (such as data from an MD that was digitally copied from a commercial music CD) is input to the digital connector, the UA-3 will not be able to record this on the computer. (The sound will be output from the line output jacks and the headphone jack.)

Cannot record digitally

• Is the Recording input select switch set to “DIGITAL”?

• Is the application set to the same sampling frequency as that of the digital device connected to the digital input connector?

• Recording will no longer be possible if you switch the sampling frequency (for example, between digital broadcast A mode and B mode) of a device while it remains connected to the digital input connectors.

When switching the sampling frequency, you need to disconnect, then reconnect the digital cable.

• It is not possible to record digital data of a format other than consumer digital audio device format.

Cannot Record Music CD

• The UA-3 cannot record music CDs in the computer’s CD-ROM drive with CoolEdit Pro LE or other programs.

To record music CDs in the computer’s CD-ROM drive, you need to ﬁrst select your computer’s sound card as the audio device (Waveform Record) that is to be used for recording by CoolEdit Pro LE (or the application you are using), then you can proceed with recording. When recording a music CD with a sound card, uncheck “Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device” you checked in When using your computer’s CD-ROM drive to play an audio CD, or when playing background music for games with the UA-3 (p. 13).

The volume changed when you resumed from Suspend or Hibernation status

• When Windows 2000 resumes from Suspend or Hibernation, the output volume setting is changed due to a problem of Windows.

Start up the Mixer application as described in Volume Control settings (p. 12), and adjust the USB Audio (Speaker) slider.

Game background music does not sound

• Does the game use an audio CD for background music?

If an audio CD is used to provide background music for the game, refer to When using your computer’s CD-ROM drive to play an audio CD, or when playing background music for games with the UA-3 (p. 13).

Problems common to software in general

UA-3 25

Sie müssen diesen Abschnitt lesen, bevor Sie Digitalaufnahmen erstellen

Unberechtigte Aufzeichnung, Vertrieb, Verkauf, Verleih, öffentliche Aufführung, Ausstrahlung oder Sendung o. ä. (musikalische Komposition, Video-Aufzeichnungen, Ausstrahlung, öffentliche Aufführung oder ähnliches) ganz oder in Teilen eines Werks, dessen Urheberrechte bei Dritten liegen, ist gesetzlich verboten.

Beim Austausch von Audiosignalen über einen digitalen Anschluss mit einem externen Instrument kann dieses Gerät Aufnahmen vornehmen, die den Beschränkungen des Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) teilweise nicht unterliegen. Der Grund hierfür ist, dass das Gerät ausschließlich für die Musikproduktion vorgesehen ist und so entwickelt wurde, dass es keinen Beschränkungen unterliegt, sofern es für die Aufnahme von Werken (wie z.B. Ihre eigenen Kompositionen) verwendet wird, die die Urheberrechte Dritter nicht verletzen. (SCMS ist ein Merkmal, das das Kopieren in der zweiten Generation und später über einen digitalen Anschluss verhindert). Dieses Merkmal wird in MD-Recorder und andere Digitalaudio-Consumer-Geräte als Urheberschutzvorrichtung integriert.

Über das UA-3

Die teilweise SCMS-Unterstützung des UA-3 funktioniert nur bei digitalen Signalen, die aus externen Geräten eingespeist werden. Wenn z.B. von einem MD-Gerät Daten mit SCMS-Attributen eingespeist werden, die von einer kommerziellen Musik-CD kopiert wurden, funktioniert das UA-3 wie folgt:

Wenn die Einspeisung via Digitaleingabe-Anschluss des UA-3 erfolgt:

• Das UA-3 kann diese Daten nicht auf Ihrem Computer aufnehmen.

• Der Sound wird aus den analogen Ausgängen (Line-Ausgangsbuchsen, Kopfhörerbuchse) sowie aus dem Digitalausgabe-Anschluss ausgegeben.

Wenn die Einspeisung via Analogeingänge des UA-3 (Line-Eingangsbuchsen) erfolgt:

• Normale Aufnahme ist möglich

Unabhängig davon, ob das SCMS-Attribut vorhanden ist, die Daten, die am DigitaleingabeAnschluss des UA-3 empfangen werden, werden stets direkt aus dem Digitalausgabe-Anschluss ausgegeben.

Verwenden Sie dieses Gerät nicht für Zwecke, die die Urheberrechte eines Dritten verletzen könnten. Roland übernimmt keinerlei Verantwortung für etwaige Verletzungen der Urheberrechte Dritter, die infolge der Benutzung dieses Geräts entstehen könnten.

Dieses Gerät unterstützt keine Digitalaudio-Signale, die für Funkstation-Digitalaudio-Geräte formatiert wurden.

Das UA-3 funktioniert nur entsprechend SCMS, wenn die digitalen Signale von einem externen Gerät eingespeist werden. Den Digitalaudio-Signalen, die vom UA-3 ausgegeben werden, werden keine SCMS-Flags hinzugefügt.

Bevor Sie das UA-3 benutzen können, müssen Sie nacheinander die Treiber USB Composite Device (USBGerät), USB Human Interface sowie USB Audio Device (USB-Audiogerät) installieren. Diese Treiber sind in Windows enthalten. Wenn Sie Windows 98 verwenden, befinden sich diese Treiber auf der Microsoft Windows CD-ROM, Sie sollten daher die Microsoft Windows CD-ROM bereithalten. Wenn Sie Windows Me oder 2000

einsetzen, ist die CD-ROM nicht erforderlich.

Was ist ein Treiber?

Ein Treiber ist Software, die es einem Anwendungsprogramm, das auf Ihrem Computer installiert ist, erlaubt, Daten zum/vom UA-3 zu übertragen, wenn das Gerät an Ihren Computer via USB-Kabel angeschlossen ist. Der Treiber überträgt die Daten der Anwendung an das UA-3 sowie die Daten vom UA-3 an die Anwendung.

• Das UA-3 kann unter Windows 95 oder Windows NT nicht verwendet werden.

• Wenn noch andere Windows-Programme ausgeführt wer-den, sollten Sie diese beenden, bevor Sie Ihre Arbeit fortsetzen.

• Wenn Sie mehrere Roland USB-Geräte gleichzeitig an Ihren Computer anschließen (z.B. das UA-3 und andere USB-Geräte, wie z.B. das UA100G), trennen Sie das UA-100G oder andere Geräte vom USBAnschluss, bevor Sie den Treiber installieren. Wenn Sie den Treiber installieren, während das UA-100G oder andere Geräte angeschlossen sind, wird die Installation eventuell nicht korrekt ausgeführt.

Anschlüsse und Treiberinstallation

■ Anschluss der Geräte

Achten Sie stets darauf, die Lautstärke zu reduzieren, bevor Sie das UA-3 anschließen. Selbst wenn die Lautstärke ganz zurückgedreht wurde, hören Sie eventuell Sound beim Einschalten der Geräte, aber dies ist normal und kein Hinweis auf eine Fehlfunktion.

Um Fehlfunktionen und/oder Schäden an Lautsprechern oder anderen Geräten zu verhindern, reduzieren Sie stets die Lautstärke und schalten alle Geräte ab, bevor Sie die Verbindungen einrichten. (Es ist nicht erforderlich, den Computer vom Stromnetz zu trennen.) Verwenden Sie ein USB-Kabel, um das UA-3 an Ihren Computer anzuschließen, bevor Sie Ihre Audiogeräte einschalten.
