Introduction

Features of the UM-1

The UM-1 is a USB MIDI interface cable which uses USB as its connection to your computer.
What is USB?
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, which is a new interface for connecting various types of peripheral device to computers. A single USB cable can be used to connect multiple peripheral devices, and data transmission speed is much faster than the serial port used on previous computers. In addition, peripheral devices can be connected or disconnected without turning off the power, and the computer will automatically detect the device which was connected. (For some peripherals, you may need to make settings or perform other operations.)

Easy Connection to Your Computer

Connections to your computer can be made even when the power is turned on.

High-Speed Data Transmission via USB

High-speed USB connection provides excellent response even with simultaneous playback on multiple channels.

Power Supply Not Required

Power is supplied from the computer itself, so a separate power supply is not required.

* Never make connections to the MIC connectors or PHONE connectors of your audio
playback system.
4.
If the MIDI Sound module has a Computer switch, set the Computer switch located on the rear panel of the MIDI Sound module to the MIDI position.
* Before changing the setting of the MIDI Sound module’s Computer switch, be sure to turn
off the power.
5.
Connect the MIDI Sound modules power cable to an electrical outlet. When you are ready to use the system, turn on the power of the MIDI Sound module and of your audio playback system.
Connecting a MIDI Keyboard
If you wish to connect a MIDI keyboard, connect the UM-1s TO MIDI OUT cable to the MIDI OUT connector of your keyboard.
* Before turning the power off, be sure to turn down the volume of all devices to avoid
speaker damage or malfunctions.

Setting Up Your Computer

In order to use the UM-1, you must first install the USB MIDI Driver. The driver is included in the
UM-1 Driver CD-ROM

What is USB MIDI Driver?

The USB MIDI Driver is a software which passes data between the UM-1 and the application (such as sequencer software) that is running on the USB-connected computer. The USB MIDI Driver sends data from the application to the UM-1, and passes data from the UM-1 to the application. The explanation about installing and setup the driver is organized according to the computer and MIDI driver that you are using. Please proceed to the following pages.
Windows 98 Users p. 14 Windows 2000 Users p. 17 Using OMS on the Macintosh p. 21 Using FreeMIDI on the Macintosh p. 25

Windows 98 Users

* The USB MIDI Driver cannot be used with Windows 95 or Windows NT. * With some computers, starting up Windows with the UM-1 connected can result in
unstable operation. If this happens, you may be able to use the UM-1 by first starting up Windows with the UM-1 disconnected from the computer, and then afterwards connecting the UM-1.
* You may be unable to simultaneously use the UM-1 if you have an NEC-manufactured
USB terminal adapter (TA) connected.
* If other programs are running, please exit all of them before you proceed with the
installation.
* If you will be connecting the UM-1 to your computer simultaneously with another Roland
USB-compatible device such as the UA-100, you must disconnect the UA-100 (or other device) from the USB connector before installing the USB MIDI driver. If you install the USB MIDI driver while the UA-100 etc. is connected to your computer, the USB MIDI driver may not be installed correctly.

Using OMS on the Macintosh

Installing OMS
* If the OMS 2.3.7 or a later version is installed, you do not need to install this version of
OMS. Proceed to the next step and install the USB MIDI Driver.
* Check the version of OMS required for your software. If the software requires later
versions, follow the instructions in the owner’s manual of your software and install OMS.
* Disconnect the USB cable of the UM-1 from your Macintosh before powering up.
1.

4.
Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the installation.
5.
After the installation completes, re-start the Macintosh.
Installing the USB MIDI Driver
* The USB MIDI Driver (for OMS) requires Opcode OMS 2.3.5 or later. If this is not
installed, you must first install OMS, and then install the USB MIDI Driver.
* 64 MB or more memory is required. Virtual memory cannot be used. You must make
memory setting to turn virtual memory “off” before using this.
* Disconnect the USB cable of the UM-1 from your Macintosh before powering up.
1.
Start up your Macintosh.

* If OMS is not correctly installed, the driver installation process will be halted. If this
occurs, exit the driver installation process, and install OMS. After installing OMS, install the driver once again.
6.
After the installation completes, re-start your Macintosh.
Setting up OMS
* Before setting up OMS, change the setting of the MIDI device connected to the UM-1 to
avoid transmitting the MIDI time clock signal. For instructions on how to change the setting, refer to the owner’s manual of the MIDI device you have.
* When you install the USB MIDI Driver and set up OMS, two MIDI devices named “Roland
UM-1” will be detected. One of them is the MIDI device connected to the UM-1, and the other is the UM-1 MIDI interface itself. You need to change the name of the MIDI device connected to the UM-1 so that the two can be distinguished. Please refer to the next procedures.
1.
Make sure that the UM-1 is connected to your Macintosh, and power up your Macintosh.
2.
In the Opcode folder, open the OMS Applications folder, and double-click the OMS Setup icon.
3.
If the AppleTalk dialog box appears, select [Turn It Off].

6.
The OMS Driver Search dialog box will appear. Click [Search].
7.
When the search has been completed, make sure that the OMS Driver Setup dialog box lists the Roland UM-1, and click [OK].
8.
A dialog box will appear, allowing you to save the settings in a file. Input the desired filename, and click [Save].
9.
The Studio Setup windows will open. Change the device name to Port 1 for the MIDI device connected to the UM-1. Click the device name, and you will be able to change it.
Change this device name to Port 1
* Device icons shown in the dialog may be different depending on your setup.
10.
Connect a sound module to the TO MIDI IN cable of the UM-1, select Test Studio in the Studio menu, and check it to hear whether sound is produced.
* The following step will cause a relatively loud sound to be produced by the sound module,
so turn down the volume of your sound module before continuing.
