If you experience problems connecting with your DAW
Normally, you don't need to install a driver in order to connect the MD-500 to your computer.
However, if some problem occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the BOSS original driver
may solve the problem.
In this case, setting "USB MODE" to "VENDOR" on the MD-500, install the
driver on your personal computer.
For details on downloading and installing the BOSS original driver, refer
to the BOSS website. For further details, refer to the Readme.htm file that
comes with the download.

The program you need to use, and the steps you need to take to install the USB driver will
differ depending on your computer setup, so please carefully read and refer to the Readme.
