Frequently Asked Questions - UM-1G ROLAND

How to install the UM-1G driver on Windows 7?

Before connecting the UM-1G, insert the supplied CD-ROM and run the installation program located in the Driver/Win7 folder. Set the ADVANCED DRIVER switch to ON, then connect the UM-1G to the computer. Follow the on-screen prompts. Once the installation is complete, restart Windows.

What to do if the computer does not recognize the UM-1G?

Check that the ADVANCED DRIVER switch is set to ON, that the USB cable is properly connected, and that the driver is installed. If the problem persists, uninstall and then reinstall the driver following the procedure in the manual. Also make sure the USB port provides sufficient power (avoid unpowered hubs).

What is the MIDI THRU switch used for?

The MIDI THRU switch determines the destination of MIDI messages received by the UM-1G. In the OFF position, incoming MIDI messages are sent to the computer. In the ON position, they are redirected to the MIDI OUT port, allowing a direct connection between two MIDI devices without going through the computer.

How to use the MIDI CHECK button?

Press the MIDI CHECK button to send a MIDI note (note 64, E4) on all channels via the MIDI OUT port. This allows you to verify that the connected MIDI device receives data correctly. If no sound is produced, check the connections and the sound module settings.

What is the difference between Advanced mode and Standard Driver mode?

Advanced mode (ADVANCED DRIVER switch set to ON) uses the Roland-specific driver with FPT technology for fast and reliable MIDI transmissions. Standard mode (OFF) uses the built-in MIDI driver of the operating system. Use Advanced mode unless compatibility issues arise.

Can I use the UM-1G with a sequencer software without a driver?

Yes, in Standard Driver mode (ADVANCED DRIVER switch set to OFF), the UM-1G is recognized as a standard MIDI device without installing a specific driver. However, for optimal performance, it is recommended to use Advanced mode with the dedicated driver.

How to connect a MIDI keyboard to a sound module via the UM-1G without a computer?

Connect the UM-1G's MIDI IN cable to the keyboard's MIDI OUT port, and the MIDI OUT cable to the sound module's MIDI IN port. Set the MIDI THRU switch to ON. The UM-1G then transmits MIDI messages directly from the keyboard to the module, without a computer.

Why doesn't the USB indicator on the UM-1G light up?

If the USB indicator does not light up, the computer does not recognize the UM-1G. Check that the USB cable is firmly connected, that the driver is installed, and that the USB port is functional. Try another USB port or another cable. If the problem persists, refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual.

How to clean the UM-1G?

Use a soft, dry cloth or slightly dampened with water. For stubborn stains, use a mild non-abrasive detergent. Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or solvents, as they may discolor or deform the device.

What to do if notes are played double (echo effect)?

This problem usually occurs when both the sequencer's Thru function and the instrument's Local mode are enabled. Set the sequencer to Thru OFF and the instrument to Local OFF to avoid double triggering. Refer to the manuals of your equipment for more details.
