Frequently Asked Questions - UM-2G ROLAND

How to install the UM-2G driver on Windows 7?

Start Windows without connecting the UM-2G. Insert the provided CD-ROM, open the [UM-2G]/[Driver]/[Win7] folder, and double-click Setup. Follow the instructions, set the ADVANCED DRIVER switch to ON, then connect the UM-2G. The installation completes automatically. Restart if necessary.

Why is my UM-2G not recognized by the computer?

Check that the ADVANCED DRIVER switch is ON. Make sure the USB cable is properly connected. If the problem persists, uninstall the driver via Uninstal.exe on the CD-ROM, then reinstall it. Avoid unpowered USB hubs.

How to use Standard Driver Mode?

Set the ADVANCED DRIVER switch to OFF before connecting the UM-2G to the computer. The operating system's standard driver will be installed automatically. Then configure the MIDI settings of your application.

What to do if sound interrupts during MIDI playback?

In Windows, open the Control Panel, click on Additional Options then UM-2G. In the dialog box, check Light Load. Close unnecessary applications. You can also configure the system Performance settings to favor background services.

How to configure MIDI settings on Mac OS X?

After driver installation, open Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup. In the MIDI Studio window, check that UM-2G appears. Add two external devices, name them, then connect the input/output arrows. Click Test Setup to verify.

Can I use the UM-2G without a computer?

Yes, set the MIDI THRU switch to ON. Incoming MIDI messages on MIDI IN are then redirected to MIDI OUT, allowing direct communication between a MIDI keyboard and a sound module without a computer.

What do the indicators on the UM-2G mean?

The USB indicator lights when the UM-2G is connected and recognized by the computer. The MIDI IN and MIDI OUT indicators flash when receiving/transmitting MIDI messages (only if the MIDI THRU switch is OFF).

How to uninstall the UM-2G driver?

Disconnect the UM-2G. In Windows, insert the CD-ROM, open the folder corresponding to your system (e.g., [Win7]) and double-click Uninstal.exe. Follow the instructions. On Mac, use the UM2G-Uninstaller.pkg program located in the [10.4_10.5] or [10.6] folder on the CD-ROM. Restart after uninstallation.

What are the maintenance tips for the UM-2G?

Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a cloth lightly dampened with water or mild non-abrasive detergent. Never use benzene, thinner, or alcohol to avoid discoloration or deformation.

What to do in case of double triggering (notes played twice)?

Set the sound module to Local OFF mode and disable the Thru function of your sequencer software. This prevents notes from being triggered both by the keyboard and the sequencer.
