ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
WARNING
Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner's Manual.

- Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

- Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest EDIROL/Roland Service Center, or an authorized EDIROL/Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

- Never use or store the unit in places that are:

- Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are

- Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
- Humid; or are
- Exposed to rain; or are
- Dusty; or are
-
Subject to high levels of vibration.
-
Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

WARNING
- Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

- Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

- This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.

- Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.


WARNING
-
Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page when:
-
The AC adaptor or the power-supply cord has been damaged; or
- Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or
- The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or
-
The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
-
In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.
- Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)
- Do not force the unit's power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord's outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.
- Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.
DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional audio CD player. The resulting sound may be of a level that could cause permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers or other system components may result.






CAUTION
- The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

- Always grasp only the output plug or the body of the AC adaptor when plugging into, or unplugging from, this unit or an outlet.

- Whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time, disconnect the AC adaptor.

- Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

- Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

- Never handle the AC adaptor body, or its output plugs, with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

- Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and all cords coming from external devices.

- Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

- Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

- Should you remove the optical connector caps, make sure to put them in a safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

IMPORTANT NOTES
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
- 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.
- This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
- 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.
Maintenance
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
-
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.
- 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 SONARTM, and ASIO compatible applications such as CubaseTM and LogicTM. 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.
What is USB?
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
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.

What is a driver?
A "driver" is software that transfers data between the UA-700 and application software running on your computer, when your computer and the UA-700 are connected by a USB cable. The driver sends data from your application to the UA-700, and from the UA-700 to your application.

Advanced mode and Standard driver mode
The UA-700 has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a different driver is used by each mode.
■ Advanced mode
The UA-700 will operate in this mode when the ADVANCE mode is turned ON. (→Refer to ADVANCE (mode select) switch (p. 125)) The special driver included on the CD-ROM will be used, allowing audio to be recorded/played/edited with high quality and stable timing.

In Advanced mode, audio signals can be transferred between the UA-700 and the computer at a resolution of 24 bits and sampling frequencies of 44.1 / 48 / 96kHz . Select this mode if you are using an application that allows high-quality audio recording/playback/editing, such as an application that supports 24 bit audio (e.g., the Cakewalk series or Cool Edit) or an ASIO-compatible application (e.g., Cubase VST or Logic Audio). ( Installing the special driver (p. 15))
Standard driver mode
The UA-700 will operate in this mode when the ADVANCE mode is turned OFF. ( Refer to ADVANCE (mode select) switch (p. 125))
The standard USB audio driver included with Windows will be used. In standard driver mode, audio signals are transferred between the
UA-700 and the computer at a resolution of 16 bits and sampling

frequencies of 44.1 kHz. Select this mode if you are using an application that uses Window's own functionality, such as an application that uses the computer's CD-ROM drive to play back CD-audio, or an application that uses the software synthesizer included with Windows.
The standard driver that is included with Windows does not support ASIO.
( Installing the OS-standard driver (p. 28))
- If you want to use MIDI, use Advanced mode.
- The standard driver included with Windows does not support ASIO.
Switching between Advanced mode and Standard driver mode
If you first install both the special driver and the standard driver, you will be able to switch between Advance and Standard driver modes by operating the UA-700's ADVANCE (mode select) switch.
- In order for the setting of the ADVANCE (mode select) switch to take effect, you must exit all sequencer software and other applications that use the UA-700, switch off the UA-700, then turn it back on again.
Installing the special driver
The installation procedure will differ depending on your system.
Please proceed to one of the following sections, depending on the system you use.
- Windows XP/2000 users .....(p. 15)
- Windows Me/98 users............(p. 26)
Windows XP/2000 users
The CD-ROM contains two types of driver for Windows XP/2000 (WDM driver and MME driver). Normally, you should use the WDM driver.
WDM driver
You should use this driver if you have specified WDM driver mode for SONAR or a similar application. This will provide the highest-quality audio performance.
- If you are using Windows 2000, it is not possible to use 24-bit audio with applications that do not support a WDM driver mode, such as Cool Edit or Media Player.
MME driver
This driver allows you to use 24-bit audio even from applications that do not have a WDM driver mode, such as Cool Edit. It is not possible to use the MME driver from WDM driver mode of an application such as SONAR.
It is not possible to install both the WDM driver and the MME driver. You must select one beforehand, and install only that driver. If after installing one of these drivers you decide to change drivers, you must first delete the already-installed driver and then install the new driver.
( Deleting the special driver (p. 251))
- The WDM driver and the MME driver can be installed using the same procedure.

In order to hear the sample data, you will need approximately 30 MB of free space on the hard disk in which Windows is installed.

Use of the song data supplied with this product for any purpose other than private, personal enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder is prohibited by law. Additionally, this data must not be copied, nor used in a secondary copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright holder.

What you actually see on your computer screen may be different depending on your computing environment and the operating system your using.

If it did not play back correctly, refer to "Troubleshooting" (p. 240) to determine the reason. This section contains information on how to solve problems such as no sound, or failure to play back correctly.
Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Macintosh)
If you are using a Windows computer, please proceed to Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Windows) (p. 14).
What is a driver?
A "driver" is software that transfers data between the UA-700 and application software running on your computer, when your computer and the UA-700 are connected by a USB cable. The driver sends data from your application to the UA-700, and from the UA-700 to your application.

Advanced mode and Standard driver mode
The UA-700 has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode, and a different driver is used by each mode.
■ Advanced mode
The UA-700 will operate in this mode when the ADVANCE mode is turned ON. (→Refer to ADVANCE (mode select) switch (p. 125)) The special driver included on the CD-ROM will be used, allowing audio to be recorded/played/edited with high quality and stable timing.

In Advanced mode, audio signals can be transferred between the UA-700 and the computer at a resolution of 24 bits and sampling frequencies of 44.1 / 48 / 96kHz . Select Advanced mode if you are using an application that is able to record/playback/edit high-quality audio, such as a 24 bit audio application or an ASIO-compatible application such as Cubase VST, Logic Audio, and Metro. In Advanced mode, the UA-700 cannot play back audio data (audio CDs or warning sounds) from the Macintosh sound manager. ( Installing the special driver (p. 40))
Standard driver mode
The UA-700 will operate in this mode when the ADVANCE mode is turned OFF. (→Refer to ADVANCE (mode select) switch (p. 125)) The standard USB audio driver included with MacOS will be used. In standard driver mode, audio signals are transferred between the UA-700 and the computer at a resolution of 16 bits and sampling

frequencies of 44.1 / 48 kHz. Select this mode if you are using an application that uses MacOS's own functionality, such as an application that uses the computer's CD-ROM drive to play back CD-audio, or an application that uses the software synthesizer included with MacOS. The standard driver included with MacOS does not support ASIO.
Note also that the use of Mac OS 8.6 is not supported.
( Installing the OS-standard driver (p. 48))
Switching between Advanced mode and Standard driver mode
If you first install both the special driver and the standard driver, you will be able to switch between Advance and Standard driver modes by operating the UA-700's ADVANCE (mode select) switch.
- In order for the setting of the ADVANCE (mode select) switch to take effect, you must exit all sequencer software and other applications that use the UA-700, switch off the UA-700, then turn it back on again.
Installing the special driver
You must install the MIDI driver even if you will be using only audio on the UA-700. Be sure to install the MIDI driver.
Use either OMS or FreeMIDI as the MIDI driver.
If you are using OMS (p. 40)
If you are using FreeMIDI (p. 44)
-
Either OMS or FreeMIDI must be installed in your Macintosh, as appropriate for the sequencer software you are using.
-
If the power of the UA-700 is turned on, a message like the following will appear when the Macintosh is started up. Perform the steps described below as appropriate for the message that is displayed.
If the screen indicates:
"Driver required for USB device 'unknown device' is not available. Search for driver on the Internet?"
click [Cancel].
If the screen indicates:
"Software required for using device 'unknown device' cannot be found. Please refer to the manual included with the device, and install the necessary software"

Dalla cartella Driver E-ASIO
This section explains the function and use for each part of the UA-700.
Names of things and what they do
The following introduces the various knobs, switches, etc., and explains what they do.
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.

- Main. Main control. (p. 116)
A.Mic control. (p. 117)
B.Guitar control (p. 120)
C. Line control. (p. 123)
D. System Effect control. (p. 123)
E. Utility (p. 125)
Only one at a time!
Effects cannot be simultaneously applied to Mic control, Guitar control, and Line control. However, System Effect control can be used to apply an effect to all inputs. ( see Block diagram (p. 145))
Not available at 96 kHz!
If you are using 96 kHz, you cannot apply effects other than COMPRESSOR & DE-ESSER and NOISE SUPPRESSOR & EQ.
Main control

1. Master output jacks (phone type)
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.
2. Headphones jack
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.
3. Input peak indicator
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.
4. Power indicator
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

1. Input monitor switch
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.
A. Mic control
Mic input section


1. Mic input jacks (MIC1, MIC2)
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.
- This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR/TRS) type input jacks. Wiring diagrams for these jacks are shown at right. Make connections after first checking the wiring diagrams of other equipment you intend to connect.


- 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.
(This instrument's phantom power: 48 V DC, 10 mA Max)
2. Gain select switch (PAD -20 dB)
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.
5. LO-CUT switch
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".
6. STEREO/MONO select switch
This selects whether the input from the Mic input jacks will be handled as stereo or monaural. If you select stereo mode, MIC 1 will be recorded on the left channel, and MIC 2 on the right channel. If you select monaural mode, MIC 1 and MIC 2 will be mixed, and the same signal will be recorded on the left channel and right channel.
■ Mic effect section/Mic modeling

This section can transform the character of an inexpensive general-purpose mic into the character of an expensive studio mic (microphone -> microphone conversion).
Similar transformations can be applied to change the type of mic and apparent distance from the audio source. You can also add the character of a specific type of mic to an instrument that you are recording from line input (line -> microphone conversion).
1. Mic modeling switch
Switches mic modeling on/off. If this is off, mic modeling will be bypassed.
2. Input mic type selector knob
Selects the type of mic you are using for recording.
| FLAT | Line input |
| DR-20 | Roland DR-20 (a dynamic mic manufactured by Roland) |
| SML DY | A small dynamic mic used for instruments and vocals |
| HED DY | A headset-type dynamic mic |
| SML CN | An ultra-compact condenser mic |
| C3000 B | AKG C3000B (a condenser mic manufactured by AKG) |
3. Output mic type selector knob
Selects the type of mic you want to simulate.
| FLAT | A mic with a flat frequency response. Use this when you want to eliminate the idiosyncrasies of the mic used for recording. |
| SLM DY | A dynamic mic widely used for instruments and vocals. Ideal for a guitar amp or snare drum. |
| LRG DY | A dynamic mic with an extended low-frequency range. Suitable for bass drum or toms. |
| SML CN | A condenser mic for instruments, characterized by a bright-sounding upper range. Suitable for metallic percussion and acoustic guitar. |
| LRG CN | A condenser mic with a flat response. Suitable for vocals, narrations, and acoustic instruments. |
| VINTAGE CN | A vintage condenser mic. Suitable for vocals and acoustic instruments. |
- If you select a condenser-type mic model for OUT, the low-frequency range will be extended, which may cause low-frequency rumble transmitted through the mic stand to be emphasized. In such cases, either use the LO-CUT switch to cut the unwanted low-frequency range, or attach an isolation mount (a mic holder that uses rubber bands to absorb vibration) to your mic stand when you record.
4. Distance knob
This knob models the distance from the audio source to the mic. The simulated distance will be closer as you turn the knob toward the right (+), or farther if you move it toward the left (-).
■ Mic effect section/Compressor & De-esser

A compressor is an effect that makes the volume more consistent by compressing high input levels and boosting low input levels.
A de-esser is an effect that cuts the sibilants from a vocal, producing a softer tone.
1. Compressor/De-esser switch
Switches the compressor/de-esser on/off. The effects will be bypassed if this is off.
2. Compressor type select knob
Selects the type of compressor that is most suitable for the source you are recording.
- If you want to adjust the parameters with greater precision, refer to Compressor/De-esser section (p. 139), under “Advanced applications”.
| NORMAL | Light compression suitable for recording most instruments or vocals on a demo tape. | |
| Ratio | medium (2.8 : 1) | |
| Attack | medium | |
| Release | very fast | |
| VOCAL | Heavier compression suitable for recording a powerful vocal. | |
| Ratio | extremely high (∞ : 1) | |

| A.GUITAR | Compression suitable for recording an acoustic guitar. Smoothly controls the sound, producing a natural effect when reverb or chorus are applied. | |
| Ratio | low (2:1) | |
| Attack | fast | |
| Release | medium | |
| Attack | The time from when the input level exceeds the threshold level until the effect is applied. |
| Release | The time from when the input level falls below the threshold level until the effect ceases to be applied. |
| Ratio | The ratio by which the level is compressed when the signal exceeds the threshold level. High ratio settings will produce sharp compression, and low settings will produce gentle compression. |
3. Compressor level knob
Controls the depth of compression. Turning this toward HARD will produce a stronger effect. This knob controls the threshold level (the level at which the effect begins to be applied) and the compressor output level.
4. De-esser switch
Switches the de-esser on/off.
- The effect will depend on the compressor type. The strongest effect is obtained with VOCAL.

You can connect headphones and/or monitor speakers as shown in the diagram, and monitor the playback of your application, or the sound of instruments or audio devices connected to the UA-700.

Using the sample rate select switch
- You must set the UA-700's sample rate select switch to match the sampling frequency used by your application.
- If the sample rate select switch is set to 96 kHz REC, you will not hear the sound that is played back by your application.
- If the sample rate select switch is set to 96kHz PLAY, the sound of instruments or audio devices connected to the UA-700 cannot be recorded by your application.
Recording a guitar or bass
With these connections and settings, only the guitar sound will be recorded on your computer when you record into your sequencer application by playing your guitar along with the audio data from your computer.

The sound of the device connected to the Guitar input jack will be recorded on both the L channel and R channel on your computer. It will also be output directly from the digital output jack.
Use the Input sensitivity knob to adjust the input level. For the best-quality recording, use the input sensitivity knob to adjust the level until it is as high as you can get it without causing the input peak indicator to light.
Turn on the Input monitor switch, and use the Input monitor knob to adjust the monitor volume of your guitar or bass. This will not affect the recording level.
Do not connect anything to the input jacks that you are not using.
- Guitar effects cannot be applied if you are using 96 kHz PLAY/REC. In this case, only COMPRESSOR & DE-ESSER and NOISE SUPPRESSOR & EQ can be applied.
Recording from mics

If you are using condenser mics, turn on the Phantom power switch. The sound will also be output directly from the digital output jack.
- If a device that does not use phantom power is connected to the XLR type jacks, you must turn phantom power off, since supplying phantom power to such a device may cause malfunction.
The sound of the device connected to MIC 1 will be recorded on the left channel, and the sound of the device connected to MIC 2 will be recorded on the right channel.
Use the Input sensitivity knobs to adjust the input level. For the best-quality recording, use the input sensitivity knobs to adjust the level until it is as high as you can get it without causing the Input peak indicator to light.
Turn on the Input monitor switch, and use the Input monitor knob to adjust the monitor volume of the mic inputs.
Do not connect anything to the input jacks that you are not using.
- If you are using 96 kHz PLAY/REC, only the COMPRESSOR & DE-ESSER and NOISE SUPPRESSOR & EQ effects can be applied.
-
Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
-
Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2.Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers. - Lowering volume levels.
Recording a keyboard
Here's how your keyboard performance can be sent to the computer as audio data. The audio data can be recorded on your sequencer software.

You can use phone plug cables to connect your keyboard (or other device) to the Mic input jacks. If you set the STEREO/MONO select switch to the STEREO position, the sound that is input from MIC 1 will be recorded on the left channel, and the sound from MIC 2 will be recorded on the right channel.
If you set this to the MONO position, the recording will be monaural.

2. Individual parameter transfer
Individual parameter transfer allows a single exclusive message (a "F0...F7" packet) to transmit (or request transmission of) data for a single parameter.
Use the addresses in the parameter address map listed below for individual parameter transfer.
On the UA-700, an individual parameter will be transmitted each time an internal parameter changes due to knob or switch operations. It is also possible to obtain the current state of a parameter by using a Data Request 1 (RQ1) to request it. In this case, the size value of the transmission request is fixed at "4."
The data is using four-byte nibble, with offset 8000H (decimal 0 is 8000H).

3. Bulk dump
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.

- An interval of at least 40 ms must be left between each exclusive message.
- You must also leave an interval of at least 200 ms after transmitting one set of bulk dump data.
4. Supplementary material
- Decimal and Hexadecimal table
(An "H" is appended to the end of numbers in hexadecimal notation.)
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.
| 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 7-bit 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, 0000H = -8192 , 4000 = +/0 , and 7F7F = +8191 . For example, a value of "aa" and "bbH" would have a decimal expression of aa bbH -4000H = aa × 128 + bb - 64 × 128 .
- In the case of data indicated as "use nibble data," hexadecimal expression in 4-bit units is used. A nibble-expressed value of the two bytes 0a and 0bH would have a value of a × 16 + b .
What is the decimal expression of 5AH?
From the preceding table, 5AH = 90
What is the decimal expression of the 7-bit hexadecimal value 1234H?
From the preceding table, 12H = 18 and 34H = 52
Thus, this is 18 × 128 + 52 = 2356
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 × 16 + 3) × 16 + 9) × 16 + 13 = 41885
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
Example of an actual MIDI message
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.
Exclusive message examples and checksum calculation
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.
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
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.
F0 41 10 0058 12 00200121 08000104 F7
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Address Data Checksum (6)
(1) Exclusive status (2) ID number (Roland 41H)
(3) Device ID (10H) (4) Model MD (00H 58H)
(5) Command ID (DT1) (6) EOx
Next, we calculate the checksum.
[ 00\mathrm{H} + 20\mathrm{H} + 01\mathrm{H} + 21\mathrm{H} + 08\mathrm{H} + 00\mathrm{H} + 01\mathrm{H} + 04\mathrm{H} = 32 + 1 + 33 + 8 + 1 + 4 = 79 \text{(sum)} ]
115 (total) ÷ 128 = 0 (quotient) ... 79 (remainder)
Checksum = 128 - 79 (remainder) = 49 = 31H
Thus, F0 41 10 00 58 12 00 20 01 21 08 00 01 04 31 F7 is the message that is transmitted.
Using an Individual message to set the Noise Gate & EQ Noise Gate setting to +127.
From the parameter address map, the address for Chorus & Reverb Chorus Mix is 00H 20H 05H 3DH. The parameter value for +127 is 7FH + 8000H (offset) = 807FH , which is expressed as nibbles by the four bytes 08H 00H 07H 0FH.
F0 41 10 0058 12 0020053D 0800070F F7
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Address Data Checksum (6)
(1) Exclusive status (2) ID number (Roland 41H)
(3) Device ID (10H) (4) Model ID (00H 58H)
(5) Command ID (DT1) (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)
[ \text{Checksum} = 128 - 0 \, (\text{remainder}) = 128 = 80\mathrm{H} ]
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.
