About the Driver Modes

What is a driver?
A "driver" is software that transfers data between the UA-1EX and application software running
on your computer, when your computer and the UA-1EX are connected. The driver sends data
from your application to the UA-1EX, and from the UA-1EX to your application.
About the driver modes
The UA-1EX has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a
different driver is used by each mode.
This mode uses a dedicated audio driver created specifically for the UA-1EX.
When this dedicated driver is used, you can record/play/edit audio with high quality
and stable timing.
Normally, you should use Advanced Mode.
ON
In Advanced mode, audio signals can be transferred between the UA-1EX and the
(Advanced
computer at a resolution of 16/24 bits and sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48/96 kHz.
mode)
Choose Advanced mode if you are using sequencer software that supports 96 kHz or
24-bit audio, such as the Cakewalk series; or ASIO-compatible sequencer software
that can record, play, and edit high-quality audio, such as Cubase VST or Logic.
(➔"Installing the Driver" (p. 16)).
This mode uses the standard USB audio driver provided by Windows.
You can use this mode without installing the dedicated driver.
In Standard driver mode, audio signals are transferred between the UA-1EX and the
computer at a resolution of 16 bits and sampling frequencies of 32/44.1/48 kHz.
OFF
Choose this mode if you are using sequencer software that uses Window's own func-
(Standard
tionality, such as sequencer software that uses the CD-ROM drive of your computer
driver
to play CD audio, or that uses the software synthesizer included with Windows.
mode)
(➔"Installing the OS-Standard Driver" (p. 45)).
* The driver included with Windows does not support ASIO.
* Standard driver mode does not support 96 kHz or 24-bit. If you want to use 96 kHz or 24-
bit audio, turn the ADVANCED (mode select) switch ON.
