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 uncomfortable. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should
immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.
................................................................................................
011
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material,
coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft

following all the rules essential for the safe
operation of the unit.
................................................................................................
014
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
................................................................................................
015
• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share
an outlet with an unreasonable number of other
devices. Be especially careful when using extension
cords—the total power used by all devices you
have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must
never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for
the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the
insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually
melt through.
................................................................................................
016
• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.
................................................................................................
023
• 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.
................................................................................................
101b
• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so
their location or position does not interfere with
their proper ventilation.
................................................................................................
102d
• Always grasp only the output plug or the body of
the AC adaptor when plugging into, or
unplugging from, this unit or an outlet.
................................................................................................
103b
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe
all dust and other accumulations away from its
prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time. Any
accumulation of dust between the power plug and
the power outlet can result in poor insulation and
lead to fire.
................................................................................................
104
• 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.
................................................................................................
106
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on
the unit.
................................................................................................
107d
• Never handle the AC adaptor body, or its output
plugs, with wet hands when plugging into, or
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
................................................................................................
108b
• Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor
and all cords coming from external devices.
................................................................................................
109b
• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and
unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.
................................................................................................
110b
• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning
in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the
outlet.
................................................................................................
118
• Should you remove the optical connector caps,
make sure to put them in a safe place out of
children's reach, so there is no chance of them
being swallowed accidentally.
................................................................................................
120
• Always turn the phantom power off when
connecting any device other than condenser
microphones that require phantom power.
You risk causing damage if you mistakenly supply
phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio
playback devices, or other devices that don't
require such power. Be sure to check the specifications of any microphone you intend to use by
referring to the manual that came with it.
(This instrument's phantom power: DC 48 V DC,
10 mA Max)

IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2, 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.
354a
• 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.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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.
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.
Repairs and Data
452
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer)
paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to
avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as
when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we
regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and
Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
, or written down on
in another
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
sequencer)
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.
564
• 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.
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.

Main Features of the UR-80
The UR-80 combines two major types of functionality; a Controller that uses MIDI messages to
control your sequencer software or synthesizer, and a USB Audio Interface that lets you record and
play back audio on your computer.
It is the ideal partner for your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software, and will let you perform
music production operations such as recording, playback, and mixing faster and more efficiently.
Fully assignable design
The UR-80 is fully assignable. You can assign any type of MIDI message—control changes, RPN,
NRPN, system exclusive—to the controllers. Using the dedicated UR-80 Editor software you can
freely change the MIDI message assignments. Customized assignments can be stored in the
UR-80’s seven user memory sets.
USB interface with 24-bit/96 kHz support
The audio interface is designed for high audio quality, and supports up to 24-bit/96 kHz. XLR
jacks, mic preamps, and phantom power are provided, allowing you to use condenser mics for
serious recording.
A high-impedance switch lets you connect a guitar directly, and both optical and coaxial type
digital input/output jacks are provided.
Comes with “Hyper Canvas” software synthesizer
The GM2-compatible Hyper Canvas software synthesizer is included, providing 256 sounds +
9 drum sets. You can use it in conjunction with your DXi- or VSTi-compatible software to start
producing music immediately.
MIDI interface functionality
The UR-80 includes a USB MIDI interface with FPT support. Even when the UR-80 is not connected
to your computer via USB, you can use it as a MIDI controller via its MIDI connectors.
V-LINK support
The UR-80 supports V-LINK, and can be used in conjunction with video devices such as the Edirol
DV-7PR for video-integrated performances.

18. Grounding terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting
sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device,
microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to
an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned
about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is
grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are
unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
21 22

Basic connections and settings
Input/output devices
In order to obtain the best performance from your software, you must make the appropriate input/
output device settings.
For details on these settings, refer to the owner’s manual for your software.
* If you are unable to select the UR-80 in the device settings for your software, it is possible that the UR-80
driver was not installed correctly. Please reinstall the driver.
MIDI devices
MIDI OUT device
UR-80 MIDI OUT (Mac OS 9: UR-80 MIDI IN, OUT)
If you specify UR-80 MIDI OUT as the output port for your sequencer software, messages will
be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector of the UR-80 itself.
UR-80 (Mac OS 9/8: UR-80 1)
Select this port if you want to send messages from your sequencer software to the UR-80 itself.
MIDI IN device
UR-80 MIDI IN (Mac OS 9: UR-80 MIDI IN, OUT)
If you specify UR-80 MIDI IN as the input port for your sequencer software, messages will be
input from the UR-80’s MIDI IN connector.
UR-80 1
UR-80 2
Select one of these ports if you want messages from the controllers to be received by your sequencer software. For each controller you can select the port that will be used. You may find it
convenient (for example) to use UR-80 1 for messages to be recorded on a track or used to control
a software synthesizer, and UR-80 2 for messages used to play back/stop your sequencer or
perform mixing.
Use UR-80 2 as the MIDI input device for UR-80 Editor.
