Setting Up Your Computer

In order to use the UM-1, you must first install the USB MIDI Driver. The driver is included
in the "UM-1 Driver CD-ROM."
What is USB MIDI Driver?
The USB MIDI Driver is a software which passes data between the UM-1 and the
application (such as sequencer software) that is running on the USB-connected computer.
The USB MIDI Driver sends data from the application to the UM-1, and passes data from
the UM-1 to the application.
The explanation about installing and setup the driver is organized according to the
computer and MIDI driver that you are using. Please proceed to the following pages.

* The USB MIDI Driver cannot be used with Windows 95 or Windows NT.
* With some computers, starting up Windows with the UM-1 connected can result in
unstable operation. If this happens, you may be able to use the UM-1 by first starting up
Windows with the UM-1 disconnected from the computer, and then afterwards connecting
the UM-1.
* You may be unable to simultaneously use the UM-1 if you have an NEC-manufactured
USB terminal adapter (TA) connected.
* If other programs are running, please exit all of them before you proceed with the
installation.
* If you will be connecting the UM-1 to your computer simultaneously with another Roland
USB-compatible device such as the UA-100, you must disconnect the UA-100 (or other
device) from the USB connector before installing the USB MIDI driver. If you install the
USB MIDI driver while the UA-100 etc. is connected to your computer, the USB MIDI
driver may not be installed correctly.
