Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Windows)
What is a driver?
A
“driver”
is software that transfers data between the UM-2EX and application software running
on your computer, when your computer and the UM-2EX are connected. The driver sends data
from your application to the UM-2EX, and from the UM-2EX to your application.
About the driver modes
The UM-2EX 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-2EX to your computer.
*FPT = Fast Processing Technology for MIDI Transmission
