Driver installation and settings

(Windows)

A

“driver”

is software that transfers data between the UA-25 and application

software running on your computer, when your computer and the UA-25 are
connected by a USB cable. The driver sends data from your application to the
UA-25, and from the UA-25 to your application.

The UA-25 has two operating modes,

Advanced mode

and

Standard driver

mode

, and a different driver is used by each mode.

Advanced mode

This is the operating mode when the rear panel

ADVANCE (mode select)

switch

is

ON

. You can use the native driver included on the UA-25 Driver CD-

ROM to record, play, and edit audio with high quality and stable timing. In
Advanced mode, audio signals are transferred between the UA-25 and the
computer at a bit depth of

24 bits

and a sample rate of

44.1/48/96 kHz

. Choose

Advanced mode if you are using software that supports 24-bit audio, such as
the Cakewalk series or Cool Edit; or

ASIO-compatible software

that can

record, play, and edit high-quality audio, such as Cubase VST or Logic Audio.

Normally, you should use Advanced mode.

* You must use Advanced mode if you want to use MIDI.

Standard driver mode

This is the operating mode when the rear panel

ADVANCE (mode select)

switch

is

OFF

. The standard USB audio driver provided by Windows will be

used. In Standard driver mode, audio signals are transferred between the UA-
25 and the computer at a bit depth of

16 bits

and a sampling rate of

44.1 kHz

.

Choose this mode if you are using software that uses the standard functionality
provided by Windows, such as software that uses the CD-ROM drive of your
computer to play CD audio, or that uses the software synthesizer included with
Windows.

* The driver included with Windows does not support ASIO.

* The MIDI IN/OUT connectors are not available when using Standard driver mode.
