USB/Sequel LE Startup Guide
This USB/Sequel LE Startup Guide explains how to install Sequel LE on a computer, make connections and settings for this unit, and perform recording.
Sequel LE installation Connections and preparation
To connect this unit to a computer running Windows 7 (or
Windows Vista, XP) and to enable audio input/output, proceed
as follows. The installation description uses Windows 7 as an
example.
Download the latest ASIO driver from the web site of
ZOOM Corporation (http://www.zoom.co.jp) and install
the driver.
The ASIO driver software is required to enable use of Sequel LE for
audio input and output with a computer. Refer to the read_me file
included in the download package for instructions on how to install
the driver correctly.
NOTE
If the system software is an older version, the product may not be
recognized properly by the computer. It is therefore recommended to
always keep the system software updated to the latest version. The
system software can be downloaded from our web site.
Insert the supplied "Sequel LE" CD-ROM into the CD
drive of the computer, and perform the installation
steps.
Insert the CD-ROM. When the contents of the CD-ROM are shown,
double-click "Sequel LE2 for Windows" and then select "Setup.exe".
When the language selection screen appears, choose the language to
use.
After making the selection, follow the instructions on the screen.

and select "Computer" ("My Computer" in Windows XP). Then
double-click the "Sequel LE 2 for windows" CD-ROM icon to display
the contents of the CD-ROM, and double-click the executable file
"Setup" ("Setup.exe").
