Drivers (Macintosh) (p. 40).

What is a driver?

fig.05-1e_50
A "driver" is software that transfers data
between the UA-700 and application software
running on your computer, when your
computer and the UA-700 are connected by a
USB cable. The driver sends data from your
application to the UA-700, and from the UA-700
to your application.

Advanced mode and Standard driver mode

The UA-700 has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a
different driver is used by each mode.
Advanced mode
fig.advance-on
The UA-700 will operate in this mode when the ADVANCE mode is
turned ON. ( Refer to ADVANCE (mode select) switch (p. 129))
The special driver included on the CD-ROM will be used, allowing
audio to be recorded/played/edited with high quality and stable
timing.
In Advanced mode, audio signals can be transferred between the UA-700 and the computer at a
resolution of 24 bits and sampling frequencies of 44.1 / 48 / 96 kHz. Select this mode if you are
using an application that allows high-quality audio recording/playback/editing, such as an
application that supports 24 bit audio (e.g., the Cakewalk series or Cool Edit) or an
ASIO-compatible application (e.g., Cubase VST or Logic Audio).
( Installing the special driver (p. 15))
Standard driver mode
fig.advance-off
The UA-700 will operate in this mode when the ADVANCE mode is
turned OFF. ( Refer to ADVANCE (mode select) switch (p. 129))
The standard USB audio driver included with Windows will be used. In
standard driver mode, audio signals are transferred between the
UA-700 and the computer at a resolution of 16 bits and sampling
frequencies of 44.1 kHz. Select this mode if you are using an application that uses Window's own
functionality, such as an application that uses the computer's CD-ROM drive to play back
CD-audio, or an application that uses the software synthesizer included with Windows.
The standard driver that is included with Windows does not support ASIO.
( Installing the OS-standard driver (p. 29))
* If you want to use MIDI, use Advanced mode.
