* If you are a Macintosh user, refer to p. 17.
In order to use the UA-3, you must first install the USB Composite Device driver, the USB Human Interface
driver, and the USB Audio Device driver consecutively. These drivers are included with Windows. If you are using
Windows 98, this driver is provided in the Microsoft Windows CD-ROM, so you will need to have the Microsoft
Windows CD-ROM ready. If you are using Windows Me or 2000, the CD-ROM is not necessary.
What is a driver?
A driver is software that allows an application program running on your computer to transfer data to and from the UA-
3 when it is connected to your computer via a USB cable. The driver passes data from the application to the UA-3, and
passes data from the UA-3 to the application.

Making connections
Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before connecting the UA-3. Even with the volume all the
way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a
malfunction.
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the
power of all devices before making any connections. (It is not necessary to turn off the power of your computer.) Use
a USB cable to connect the UA-3 to your computer before turning on the power of your audio equipment.

Before installing the driver
• The UA-3 cannot be used with Windows 95 or Windows NT.
• If other Windows programs are running, exit all of them
before you continue.
• If you will be simultaneously connecting multiple Roland USB
devices (for example; the UA-3 and other USB devices such as the
UA-100G) to your computer, disconnect the UA-100G or other
devices from the USB connector before installing the driver. If you
install the driver when the UA-100G or other devices are con-
nected, installation may not occur correctly.
