  • Page 11: Before You Use The Ua-100

    Before You Use the UA-100 Before you begin using the UA-100, please read the following explanations of the internal signal flow inside the UA-100, and the UA-100 Controller software which controls the signal flow.

  • Page 12: The Signal Flow Of The Ua-100

    The Signal Flow of the UA-100 The UA-100 consists of an audio block which handles audio signals, and a MIDI interface block that handles MIDI messages. Audio Block The audio block is divided into an analog mixer and a digital mixer. The portion enclosed in a dotted line is the analog mixer, and the digital mixer is located in the center.
  • Page 13 MIDI Interface Block If your computer and the UA-100 are connected via a USB cable, the UA-100 will have two MIDI ports for controlling external MIDI devices (MIDI IN 1, 2 and MIDI OUT 1, 2), and one MIDI port for controlling the UA-100 (UA-100 MIDI Control IN, OUT).

  • Page 14: About The Ua-100 Controller

    The UA-100 Controller is software that monitors the state of the UA-100 and is able to control it. * If the power switch is off, or if the USB connector is disconnected, the UA-100 Controller will exit automatically. (Since the settings of the mixer window and effect window are saved automatically when the program exits, these settings can be recovered by opening the windows the next time the program is started up.)

  • Page 15: Mixer Window

    When you click [Mixer] in the main window, the mixer window will appear. Here you can set the volume of the line input and of the input from the computer, adjust the volume of the output from the UA-100, and select the output source to specify how the signal will be routed and processed.
  • Page 16 Effects window Click the effect select buttons of the Mixer window to open this. Here you can control the internal digital effects of the UA-100. The following three types of effect window are provided. - 64 compact effect windows that can be used in conjunction with a system effect...
  • Page 17 When you click this button, the Control Assign window will open. When the UA-100 is used by itself, four effects (VT, Vocal, Guitar, Game) can be used. The UA-100 has four effect controllers that can control the parameters of these effects, and these parameter assignments can be modified.
  • Page 18 About the UA-100 Controller Effect Assign window When you use the Effect Type Selector of the UA-100 to select either VT, Vocal, Guitar, or Game, [Effect Assign] will appear in the Main window. By clicking [Effect Assign], you can open the Effect Assign window. When using the UA-100 by itself, you can use four types of effect (VT, Vocal, Guitar, Game).

  • Page 22: Prepare For Recording

    Start up your sequencing software, and open a new song. Select Roland UA-100 Wave as the port for the audio track to be recorded. If you are using a sequencer such as the Cakewalk series and need to select the source in the track, select either Left 1:Roland UA-100 Wave or Right 1:Roland UA-100 Wave.

  • Page 23: Record And Playback

    If you are using a sequencing software such as Cakewalk and have selected Left 1:Roland UA-100 Wave (or Right 1:Roland UA-100 Wave ) as the source in the track, the played sound will be panned to the far left (or the far right). To place the sound in the center, use your sequencing software to adjust the pan of the track to the center.

  • Page 24: Recording Guitar

    Here’s how to connect a guitar to the UA-100, and record it on your sequencing software. Connecting the Guitar Before you connect the guitar to the UA-100, lower the level of the Mic 1/Guitar Input Volume. Make sure that the Mic 1/Guitar function indicator is lit.

    Were you using the Compressor, Overdrive, Distortion, Enhancer, or Lo-Fi effect? These effects will produce distortion. Watch the output level indicator of the UA-100. If the far right LED is lit red, use the UA-100 Controller to lower the master output fader or turn down the front panel Line Output Volume (VOLUME) so that the red LED does not light.

  • Page 41: Monitoring The Effect Sound While You Record The Unprocessed (Dry) Sound

    Monitoring the Effect Sound While You Record the Unprocessed (Dry) Sound By using the UA-100’s routing function, you can monitor the sound processed by the effect while you record the unprocessed (dry) sound. It is often convenient to record the dry sound, since you will then be able to try various effect settings during playback, and make fine adjustments to the effects as many times as desired.

  • Page 48 Re-recording Audio Data While Applying an Effect Record Rewind to the beginning of the song, and begin recording. When you finish recording, stop. Turn the Effect Off Since an effect has already been applied to the recorded data, you will need to turn off the currently specified effect before you playback.

  • Page 49: Using Multiple Effects Simultaneously

    Using Multiple Effects Simultaneously The UA-100 lets you use a total of three effects simultaneously: one of 64 different compact effects (insertion effects), and two system effects. By taking advantage of this capability, you can do things such as applying an effect such as distortion to a guitar while applying reverb or chorus to the overall mix.

    Now try singing a chorus part. Do you hear your own voice together with a slightly higher and a slightly lower version of it all sounding together? If the chorus sounds like a robot, move the formant controllers (FORM) for Vocal 1 and Vocal 2 to adjust the sound appropriately.

  • Page 56: Using The Ua-100 As A Midi Interface

    Using the UA-100 as a MIDI Interface The UA-100 functions not only as an audio device, but also as a 2IN/2OUT MIDI interface. This means that you can connect MIDI equipment without using a separate MIDI interface. Here’s how you can connect a MIDI keyboard to the UA-100, and record your playing on your sequencing software.
  • Page 57 MIDI data to be recorded may already be pre- specified, making this step unnecessary. As the MIDI port for the track to be recorded, select Roland UA-100 MIDI 1. For details on selecting the MIDI port in your sequencing software, refer to the manual that came with the software.

  • Page 58: Using Midi Messages To Control The Ua-100

    Select an unused track on your sequencing software, and set it so that MIDI messages (control changes) can be input into the track. As the MIDI port of the track you will input, select 1:Roland UA-100 MIDI Control. Input MIDI Messages Input MIDI messages into your sequencing software.
