IMPORTANT NOTES 291a In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 and 3, please read and observe the following: Power Supply

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices. Placement Maintenance 401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation. Additional Precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data. 352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers. 352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements. 558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night). 559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable. Handling CD-ROMs

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner. Copyright

• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is prohibited by law. 852a

• When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection with an external instrument, this unit can perform recording without being subject to the restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for musical production, and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as your own compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits second-generation and later copying through a digital connection. It is built into MD recorders and other consumer digital-audio equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)

• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.

Features of the UA-700 Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the UA-700. The UA-700 is an audio interface that can be connected to your computer via a USB cable, allowing you to digitally record and play back high-quality audio data. Built-in COSM effects The UA-700 features the same COSM engine that has won acclaim with the BOSS GP-20 and GT-6. From the heavy distortion of a tube amp, to a lightly distorted crunch sound, or the clean sound typical of a JC-120, these effects deliver the powerful tones of a guitar amp, faithfully simulating even the subtle impact of picking and volume. 24-bit/96 kHz data for pristine audio quality You can enjoy high-quality digital recording/playback on your computer using 24-bit/96 kHz* data.

• Your application must support 24-bit/96 kHz data.
• Simultaneous recording and playback at 96 kHz is not possible. Wide variety of input/output jacks Two combo-type jacks, which provide both XLR balanced (with phantom power) and TRS balanced inputs, are provided. One input provides a high-impedance (Hi-Z) connection for directly connecting your guitar or bass. The UA-700 also provides RCA phono-type inputs and outputs, phone outputs, and digital input/output jacks (coaxial and optical), making it possible for you to readily connect almost any kind of device. Direct Monitor function The Direct Monitor function lets you monitor the input signal directly from headphones or the analog outputs without passing the audio through your computer application. You can also switch the monitor function on/off from an ASIO™ 2.0 compatible application. WDM/ASIO 2.0 drivers included You can enjoy high performance with WDM compatible applications such as SONAR™, and ASIO compatible applications such as Cubase™ and Logic™. Of course you can also use applications that support MME (Windows®) or Sound Manager (Mac OS®).
• Roland provides no guarantee or support regarding the operation of sequencer software or audio editing software made by other companies. Please contact the manufacturer of the software you are using.

Features of the UA-700 What is USB? English USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a new interface used to connect various peripheral devices to a computer. USB allows more than one peripheral device to be connected via a single USB cable, and also allows data to be transmitted more rapidly than conventional serial ports. Peripherals can also be connected or disconnected with the power turned on, and the computer will automatically recognize the peripheral that has been plugged in. (Some peripherals may require settings or other operations to be performed.) About SCMS Italiano Français Deutsch SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is a function that protects the rights of the copyright owner by prohibiting second-generation or later copying via a digital connection to a consumer digital audio device such as a DAT recorder or MD recorder. When a recording is made via a digital connection on a digital recorder that has this function, SCMS data will be recorded along with the digital audio signal. A digital audio signal containing this SCMS data cannot be recorded again via a digital connection.

Names of things and what they do The following introduces the various knobs, switches, etc., and explains what they do. English Panel The UA-700 can be divided into the main control section, and four control sections for specific purposes. The explanation here is organized by these control sections, and explains the names and functions of each section. fig.04front

Names of things and what they do Main control fig.04-12

These are analog audio output jacks. They output the same sound as the master output jacks on the rear panel (RCA phono type). Use the set of jacks that is appropriate for the device you are connecting or the cables you are using.

You can connect a set of headphones to this jack. The headphones jack will output the same sound as the master output jacks, the coaxial digital output jack, and the optical digital output jacks. Even if headphones are connected, sound will still be output from the master output jacks.

This lets you check whether distortion is occurring in the sound that is input from the mic input jacks, guitar input jack, or line input jacks. Adjust the input sensitivity knobs for each input so that the peak indicator does not light.

When you turn on the power switch, this indicator will blink for several seconds, and then remain lit.

5. Output level indicator

The number of LEDs that blink changes in accord with the output level, adjusted using the MASTER knob. If the red LED at the far right lights, use the master knob to lower the volume.

6. Master knob (MASTER)

This adjusts the final overall volume. It controls the volume of the digital output jacks, headphone jack, master output jacks (phone type), master output jacks (RCA phono type), coaxial digital output jacks, and optical digital output jacks. ■ Input monitor section fig.04-10

This switches whether the input signal from the mic input jacks, guitar input jack, line input jacks, and digital input jack will be output from the headphone jack, master output jacks, and digital output jacks. If this switch is on, the input signal will be output. If this switch is off, the input signal will not be output. Turn this off (dark) if the audio data is being “thru-ed” within your computer, or if you have connected a mixer and are outputting the input signal directly from your mixer for monitoring. The volume you adjust here will not affect the recording level.

• The input monitoring on/off state can be controlled directly from an ASIO 2.0 compatible application such as Cubase.

2. Input monitor volume

This knob adjusts the volume of the input signal from the mic input jacks, guitar input jack, line input jacks, and digital input jacks that is output from the headphone jack or master output jacks. If this knob is set to the

position, the volume will be the same as the signal being recorded. Names of things and what they do A. Mic control ■ Mic input section

TRS Phone type phone type (Unbalanced) (Balanced)

These are input jacks for analog audio signals. You can use either XLR type or phone type connectors, depending on the device you are connecting. Either balanced or unbalanced connections may be used. 48V phantom power can be supplied to the XLR type connector, allowing you to use phantom-powered condenser mics. In this case, turn on the Phantom power switch.

GND(SLEEVE) 1:GND 2:HOT 3:COLD Français This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR/TRS) type input jacks. Wiring diagrams for these jacks are shown at right.

HOT(TIP) COLD(RING) Always turn the phantom power off when connecting any device other than condenser microphones that require phantom power. You risk causing damage if you mistakenly supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio playback devices, or other devices that don’t require such power. Be sure to check the specifications of any microphone you intend to use by referring to the manual that came with it. Italiano

This switches the input level of the Mic input jacks. Turn this off if you have connected a device that has low output gain.

3. Input sensitivity knobs

These adjust the input level of the mic input jacks.

4. Phantom power switch (PHANTOM 48V)

This is an on/off switch for the phantom power that is supplied to the XLR type mic input jacks.

• You must switch this off if a device not using phantom power is connected to the XLR type jacks, since supplying phantom power to such a device will cause malfunction.

This lets you make a clearer recording by cutting pop noise (which can occur when a performer blows on the mic) and unwanted low-frequency “rumble”.

Use bulk dump messages when you want to transmit or receive a large amount of data in a single operation. On the UA-700, all parameters will be transmitted in the form of a bulk dump when a patch is loaded. The current state of all parameters can also be obtained by issuing a Data Request 1 (RQ1). A bulk dump is divided into multiple exclusive messages for transmission. The address map for a bulk dump is outlined below. The address when requesting transmission is only the starting address (21 00 00), and the size value is fixed at “388” (request all parameters). Request all parameters: F0 41 10 00 58 11 00 21 00 00 00 00 03 04 58 F7 The transmitted data is two-byte data with offset 2000H (decimal 0 is 2000H). The order of the parameters included in the data and their ranges are the same as for individual parameter transmission. Parameter no.

●Example of an actual MIDI message ●Decimal and Hexadecimal table (An “H” is appended to the end of numbers in hexadecimal notation.) <Example1> CE 04 CnH is the Program Change status. “n” is the MIDI channel number. EH = 14, and 04H = 04. Thus, this is a program change message on MIDI channel 15, for program number 05. In MIDI documentation, data values and addresses/sizes of Exclusive messages, etc. are expressed as hexadecimal values for each 7 bits. The following table shows how these correspond to decimal numbers. ●Exclusive message examples and checksum calculation fig.11-22e In order to verify that the message was received correctly, Roland exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) add a checksum following the end of the data (before the F7). The checksum value is determined by the address and data (or size) of the exclusive message that is transmitted. Dec. Hex. Dec. Hex. Dec. Hex. Dec. Hex.

The decimal expression of the MIDI channel, program change, etc., is one greater than the decimal value shown in the table above.

The hexadecimal expression for each 7 bits allows a maximum of 128 steps (0-127) to be expressed by one byte of data. Multiple bytes are used if the data requires greater resolution than this. For example, a value expressed by two 7bit bytes “aa” and “bbH” would be aa x 128 + bb.

In the case of signed (+/-) data, 00H = -64, 40H = +/-0, and 7FH = +63; i.e., a value 64 less than the decimal value shown in the above table is used. In the case of a two-byte value, 00 00H = -8192, 40 00 = +/-0, and 7F 7F = +8191. For example, a value of “aa” and “bbH” would have a decimal expression of aa bbH - 40 00H = aa x 128 + bb - 64 x 128.

In the case of data indicated as “use nibble data,” hexadecimal expression in 4bit units is used. A nibble-expressed value of the two bytes 0a and 0bH would have a value of a x 16 + b. <Example1> What is the decimal expression of 5AH? From the preceding table, 5AH = 90. <Example2> What is the decimal expression of the 7-bit hexadecimal value 12 34H? From the preceding table, 12H = 18, and 34H = 52. Thus, this is 18 x 128 + 52 = 2356 <Example3> What is the decimal expression of the nibble-expressed value 0A 03 09 0D? From the preceding table, 0AH = 10, 03H = 3, 09H = 9, and 0DH = 13. Thus, this is ((10 x 16 + 3) x 16 + 9) x 16 + 13 = 41885 <Example4> What is the nibble-expressed value of decimal 1258? 1258 ÷ 16 = 78 (quotient) ... 10 (remainder) 78 ÷ 16 = 4 (quotient) ... 14 (remainder) 4 ÷ 16 = 0 (quotient) ... 4 (remainder) From the preceding table, 0 = 00H, 4 = 04H, 14 = 0EH, 10 = 0HA. Thus, the nibble-expressed value is 00 04 0E 0AH ❍Calculating the checksum (“H” has been added following hexadecimal values) The checksum is a value that results in a lower 7 bits of 0 when the address, size, and checksum itself are added together. Specifically, the calculation will be as follows when the exclusive message you want to transmit has an address of aa bb ccH and data or size of dd ee ffH. aa + bb + cc + dd + ee + ff = total total ÷ 128 = quotient ... remainder

128 - remainder = checksum

<Example1> Using an Individual message to set Amp Modeling Drive to +20. From the parameter address map, the address for Amp Modeling Drive is 00H 20H 10H 21H. If the parameter value is +20, this will be 14H + 8000H (offset) = 8014H, which is expressed as nibbles by the four bytes 08H 00H 01H 04H. (1)

(6) (2) ID number (Roland 41H) (4) Model ID (00H 58H) (6) EOX Next, we calculate the checksum. 00H+20H+05H+3DH+08H+00H+07H+0FH=32+5+61+8+7+15 = 128 (sum) 128 (total) ÷ 128 = 1 (quotient) ... 0 (remainder) Checksum = 128 - 0 (remainder) = 128 = 80H However, as an exception, the checksum for a remainder of 0 is not 80H but rather 00H. Thus, F0 41 10 00 58 12 00 20 05 3D 08 00 07 0F 00 F7 is the message that is transmitted.
