Connections And Driver Installation (Windows); What Is A Driver - Edirol UA-3 Getting Started

Connections and driver installation (Windows)

* If you are a Macintosh user, refer to p. 24.
In order to use the UA-3, you must first install the USB Composite Device
driver, the USB Human Interface driver, and the USB Audio Device driver
consecutively. These drivers are included with Windows. If you are using
Windows 98, this driver is provided in the Microsoft Windows CD-ROM, so
you will need to have the Microsoft Windows CD-ROM ready. If you are
using Windows Me or 2000, the CD-ROM is not necessary.

What is a driver?

A driver is software that allows an application program running on your
computer to transfer data to and from the UA-3 when it is connected to your
computer via a USB cable. The driver passes data from the application to the
UA-3, and passes data from the UA-3 to the application.

Before installing the driver
The UA-3 cannot be used with Windows 95 or Windows NT.
If other Windows programs are running, exit all of them before you
continue.
If you will be simultaneously connecting multiple Roland USB devices
(for example; the UA-3 and other USB devices such as the UA-100G) to
your computer, disconnect the UA-100G or other devices from the USB
connector before installing the driver. If you install the driver when the
UA-100G or other devices are connected, installation may not occur
correctly.
