UW10 Features

●

Digital and analog interface

The UW10 functions as an interface that enables you to digitally record MDs and
cassette tapes to a computer, or create music using an audio/MIDI sequencer and
MIDI tone generators (MOTIF-RACK etc.). The analog inputs on the UW10
convert incoming analog signals into digital. This prevents audio deterioration
due to computer noise and enables you to perform clean, clear sound recordings.

●

Easy Hot Swap Connection

You can connect and disconnect a USB cable while the power to the computer is
turned on. The power is provided through the USB bus power supply. For this
reason, the UW10 does not require a power adapter.

English

●

Versatile software programs

An included software program, called TWEplus Wave Editor, enables you to record
via the UW10 and edit various wave files (MP3, WAV, AIFF). Another program, the S­YXG50 SoftSynthesizer, enables you to play MIDI data on the computer, record it,
then convert it into a wave file in TWEplus, with the UW10 set in Track Down mode.

Notes on musical copyrights

The UW10 supports SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) to protect
copyrights associated with music software. When you copy data from CDs, or
other music media purchased from stores, to your own media (such as MDs)
using a digital connection, information regarding the digital recording generation
is also recorded. If you route the recorded data to a DIGITAL IN jack, you will be
unable to record the data on a computer. In this case, use the UW10’s analog
inputs (INPUT jacks) to record data on the computer.

Connections

Combining the UW10 with other devices allows for versatile applications as
follows:

● High-quality music production system using digital connections

Using the UW10 along with a tone generator, such as MOTIF-RACK, enables high­quality recording.
Connect the UW10, the MOTIF-RACK and a computer using USB cables. Connect
the MOTIF-RACK to the UW10’s DIGITAL IN jack, and set the UW10’s SOURCE
SELECT switch to “DIGITAL.”
Since the signal is sent from the UW10 or MOTIF-RACK to a mixer via an analog
connection, you will be monitoring an analog signal through powered speakers or
headphones. On the other hand, the signal is recorded via a digital connection
from the UW10’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a connected MD recorder. This
configuration enables you to make high-quality digital recordings.

Set the UW10’s SOURCE SELECT switch to “DIGITAL” or “INPUT” depending on
the jacks you are using. Connect an AV amplifier and mixer as necessary.

If you cannot adjust the output level of the audio device, some high volume sound sources

NOTE

may distort your recordings, or low volume sound sources may create recordings that are
not inaudible. In this case, adjust the sound source level using the following measures:

• Connect the PHONE jack of the audio device to the UW10, then adjust the PHONE
level on the audio device.

• Connect a mixer or other device that enables you to adjust the volume level
between the audio device and the UW10.

If you try to record from a digital audio device (such as an MD or CD player) that has
an optical digital output, use an optional optical digital cable (with square plugs) to
connect the UW10. In this case, you do not have to adjust the level, since the
recording level will be the same as the sound source level.
