What is MIDI?
MIDI is an internationally recognized standard for exchanging performance information between
electronic musical instruments and computers.
For example, in the illustration below, a MIDI signal meaning “the ‘C’ key on the MIDI keyboard was
pressed” passes through the UM-ONE and is received by the computer’s software sound module,
and then the software sound module plays the note “C.”
Software sound module
“C” is played
MIDI signal
“C” key is pressed
Information meaning “the ‘C’ key was pressed”
In this way, MIDI is used to send performance information to other instruments; for example “the
‘C’ key was pressed with a certain amount of force,” “the instrument was changed to a violin sound,”
“the volume was raised/lowered,” “the pitch was raised/lowered,” etc. In other words, MIDI is the
“language of musical instruments.”
MIDI signals are merely performance instructions, therefore a MIDI sound module, such as a software
sound module, is required to produce sound.
All software sound modules and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software support MIDI.
* DAW software is a term that refers to music production software, such as SONAR.
Note
Do not connect the UM-ONE to the computer until the driver has been installed (p. 9).
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and

product. Doing so may cause short circuits,
faulty operation, or other malfunctions.
• 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:
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has
been spilled onto the unit; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or
otherwise has become wet); or

USING THE UNIT SAFETY
• 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
Placement
• 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 dierent, 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.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., ower
vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,
perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the
unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit
using a dry, soft cloth.
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 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.
• 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.
Handling CDs
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD discs
may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a
commercially available CD cleaner.
