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 impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Installing the special driver

The installation procedure will differ depending on your system. Please proceed to one of the following sections, depending on the system you use.

• Windows XP/2000 users .................................(p. 15)

• Windows Me/98 users.....................................(p. 26)

■ 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.

Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Windows)

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.

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.
