Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Windows)
What is a driver?
A
“driver”
is software that transfers data between the UM-1EX and application software running
on your computer, when your computer and the UM-1EX are connected. The driver sends data
from your application to the UM-1EX, and from the UM-1EX to your application.
About the driver modes
The UM-1EX has two operating modes,
Advanced mode
and
Standard driver mode
, and a
different driver is used by each mode.
* Standard driver mode supports only Windows XP SP2 or later.
If you are using Windows 98/Me/2000/ XP or XP SP1, you must turn the ADVANCED (mode
select) Switch ON before you connect the UM-1EX to your computer.
*FPT = Fast Processing Technology for MIDI Transmission
About the Driver Modes
ON

MIDI transmissions.
We recommend use of this mode.
