About the Driver Modes

What is a driver?
A "driver" is software that transfers data between the UM-1EX and application software running
on your computer, when your computer and the UM-1EX are connected. The driver sends data
from your application to the UM-1EX, and from the UM-1EX to your application.
About the driver modes
The UM-1EX has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a
different driver is used by each mode.
* Standard driver mode supports only Windows XP SP2 or later.
If you are using Windows 98/Me/2000/ XP or XP SP1, you must turn the ADVANCED (mode
select) Switch ON before you connect the UM-1EX to your computer.
ON
(Advanced mode)
OFF
(Standard mode)
This mode utilizes the UM-1EX's special, advanced MIDI driver.
This advanced driver uses *FPT technology for rapid, high-performance
MIDI transmissions.
We recommend use of this mode.
(→ "Installing the Driver" (p. 12))
This mode uses the standard MIDI driver included with the OS.
Use this if you do not have the special driver installed.
