or its AC adaptor.
................................................................................................
003
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace
parts within it (except when this manual
provides specific instructions directing you
to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer,
the nearest EDIROL/Roland Service Center,
or an authorized EDIROL/Roland
distributor, as listed on the "Information"
page.
................................................................................................
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 heat-generating
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.
................................................................................................
007
• 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.
................................................................................................
008c
• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied
with the unit. Also, make sure the line
voltage at the installation matches the input
voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body.
Other AC adaptors may use a different
polarity, or be designed for a different
voltage, so their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.
................................................................................................
009
• Do not excessively twist or bend the power
cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so
can damage the cord, producing severed
elements and short circuits. Damaged cords
are fire and shock hazards!
................................................................................................
010
• 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 uncom-
fortable. If you experience any hearing loss or
ringing in the ears, you should immediately
stop using the unit, and consult an audiol-
ogist.

IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE
UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 and 3, please read and
observe the following:
Power Supply
301
• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with
any device that will generate line noise (such as an
electric motor or variable lighting system).
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after
long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is
not a cause for concern.
307
• 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.
Placement
351
• 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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
352b
• 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.
355
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in
a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other
moisture.
Maintenance
401a
• 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 impreg-
nated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. After-
wards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a
soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
551
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be
irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the
improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself
against the risk of loosing important data, we
recommend that you periodically save a backup
copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s
memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the
contents of data that was stored in another MIDI
device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost.
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning
such loss of data.
553
• 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.
556
• 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.
558a
• 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).
559a
• 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.
5
562
• 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
801
• 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.
Copyright
851
• 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.
852a
• When exchanging audio signals through a digital
connection with an external instrument, this unit can
perform recording without being subject to 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.)
853
• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe
on a copyright held by a third party. We assume no
responsibility whatsoever with regard to any
infringements of third-party copyrights arising
through your use of this unit.

Features of the UA-700
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the UA-700. The UA-700 is an audio interface
that can be connected to your computer via a USB cable, allowing you to digitally record and play
back high-quality audio data.
Built-in COSM effects
The UA-700 features the same COSM engine that has won acclaim with the BOSS GP-20 and GT-6.
From the heavy distortion of a tube amp, to a lightly distorted crunch sound, or the clean sound
typical of a JC-120, these effects deliver the powerful tones of a guitar amp, faithfully simulating
even the subtle impact of picking and volume.
24-bit/96 kHz data for pristine audio quality
You can enjoy high-quality digital recording/playback on your computer using 24-bit/96 kHz*
data.
* Your application must support 24-bit/96 kHz data.
* Simultaneous recording and playback at 96 kHz is not possible.
Wide variety of input/output jacks
Two combo-type jacks, which provide both XLR balanced (with phantom power) and TRS
balanced inputs, are provided. One input provides a high-impedance (Hi-Z) connection for
directly connecting your guitar or bass. The UA-700 also provides RCA phono-type inputs and
outputs, phone outputs, and digital input/output jacks (coaxial and optical), making it possible for
you to readily connect almost any kind of device.
Direct Monitor function
The Direct Monitor function lets you monitor the input signal directly from headphones or the
analog outputs without passing the audio through your computer application. You can also switch
the monitor function on/off from an ASIO™ 2.0 compatible application.
WDM/ASIO 2.0 drivers included
You can enjoy high performance with WDM compatible applications such as SONAR™, and ASIO
compatible applications such as Cubase™ and Logic™. Of course you can also use applications
that support MME (Windows®) or Sound Manager (Mac OS®).
* Roland provides no guarantee or support regarding the operation of sequencer software or audio
editing software made by other companies. Please contact the manufacturer of the software you are
using.

Features of the UA-700
Italiano Français Deutsch English
What is USB?
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a new interface used to connect various peripheral devices
to a computer.
USB allows more than one peripheral device to be connected via a single USB cable, and also allows
data to be transmitted more rapidly than conventional serial ports.
Peripherals can also be connected or disconnected with the power turned on, and the computer will
automatically recognize the peripheral that has been plugged in. (Some peripherals may require
settings or other operations to be performed.)
About SCMS
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a function that protects the rights of the copyright
owner by prohibiting second-generation or later copying via a digital connection to a consumer
digital audio device such as a DAT recorder or MD recorder. When a recording is made via a digital
connection on a digital recorder that has this function, SCMS data will be recorded along with the
digital audio signal. A digital audio signal containing this SCMS data cannot be recorded again via
a digital connection.

What is a driver?
fig.05-1e_50
A “driver” is software that transfers data
between the UA-700 and application software
running on your computer, when your
computer and the UA-700 are connected by a
USB cable. The driver sends data from your
application to the UA-700, and from the UA-700
to your application.
Advanced mode and Standard driver mode
The UA-700 has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a
different driver is used by each mode.
■ Advanced mode
fig.advance-on
The UA-700 will operate in this mode when the ADVANCE mode is
turned ON. (➝Refer to ADVANCE (mode select) switch (p. 125))
The special driver included on the CD-ROM will be used, allowing
audio to be recorded/played/edited with high quality and stable
timing.
In Advanced mode, audio signals can be transferred between the UA-700 and the computer at a
resolution of 24 bits and sampling frequencies of 44.1 / 48 / 96 kHz. Select this mode if you are
using an application that allows high-quality audio recording/playback/editing, such as an
application that supports 24 bit audio (e.g., the Cakewalk series or Cool Edit) or an
ASIO-compatible application (e.g., Cubase VST or Logic Audio).
(➝ Installing the special driver (p. 15))
■ Standard driver mode
fig.advance-off
The UA-700 will operate in this mode when the ADVANCE mode is
turned OFF. (➝Refer to ADVANCE (mode select) switch (p. 125))
The standard USB audio driver included with Windows will be used. In
standard driver mode, audio signals are transferred between the
UA-700 and the computer at a resolution of 16 bits and sampling
frequencies of 44.1 kHz. Select this mode if you are using an application that uses Window’s own
functionality, such as an application that uses the computer’s CD-ROM drive to play back
CD-audio, or an application that uses the software synthesizer included with Windows.
The standard driver that is included with Windows does not support ASIO.
(➝ Installing the OS-standard driver (p. 28))
* If you want to use MIDI, use Advanced mode.
* The standard driver included with Windows does not support ASIO.

Installing the special driver
■ Windows XP/2000 users
The CD-ROM contains two types of driver for Windows XP/2000 (WDM driver and MME driver).
Normally, you should use the WDM driver.
WDM driver
You should use this driver if you have specified WDM driver mode for SONAR or a similar
application. This will provide the highest-quality audio performance.
* If you are using Windows 2000, it is not possible to use 24-bit audio with applications that do not support a
WDM driver mode, such as Cool Edit or Media Player.
Switching between Advanced mode and Standard driver mode
If you first install both the special driver and the standard driver, you will be able to switch
between Advance and Standard driver modes by operating the UA-700's ADVANCE (mode
select) switch.
* In order for the setting of the ADVANCE (mode select) switch to take effect, you must exit all sequencer
software and other applications that use the UA-700, switch off the UA-700, then turn it back on again.
The installation procedure will differ depending on your system.
Please proceed to one of the following sections, depending on the system you use.

MME driver
This driver allows you to use 24-bit audio even from applications that do not have a WDM driver
mode, such as Cool Edit. It is not possible to use the MME driver from WDM driver mode of an
application such as SONAR.
It is not possible to install both the WDM driver and the MME driver. You must select one
beforehand, and install only that driver. If after installing one of these drivers you decide to change
drivers, you must first delete the already-installed driver and then install the new driver.
(➝ Deleting the special driver (p. 251))
* The WDM driver and the MME driver can be installed using the same procedure.
