Follow the instructions outlined under “Compatibility Information/USB Host Controller” in this document. If your card is installed and compatible, check with your computer manufacturer to verify that you have the newest versions of both your motherboard BIOS and your USB controller drivers. Some computers with USB ports were shipped without full software support for USB. B) Disable drivers for Modem audio as described on pages 15–17 of the UA-100 Startup manual. C) Check your hard drives DMA settings as described in the troubleshooting section of your Startup manual (p.54–55) D) Make sure you meet the UA-100 minimum system requirements listed on the UA-100 packaging, or in the Edirol catalog or website. The UA-100 will not be supported on systems that do not meet these requirements. Software Requirements Though the UA-100 will provide basic audio and MIDI functionality in most Windows software, a few requirements need to be met by recording software to provide access to the full capabilities of the UA-100 as a multitrack recording device. A) The software must support multiple audio/MIDI ports. If your software only allows for the selection of one audio recording port you will not be able to record from both audio inputs simultaneously. And, if your software only allows for the selection of one MIDI port you will not be able to use both MIDI ports on the UA-100 independently. Most multi-track sequencing software supports this feature. B) The software must support BOTH audio and MIDI to take advantage of certain functions, such as the harmonizing functions of the voice transformer. A majority of effects, though, can be used by “audio only” software by running the UA-100 control software simultaneously. C) The software must be capable of basic multitrack audio recording. Software that records a single wave or MIDI channel at a time or cannot record and playback simultaneously will not allow multi-track capability. * The UA-100 does not contain...
