Problems in V1.08
Problem:
When a DAW application with MIDI
input and output functions is open,
disconnecting (or disconnecting
and reconnecting) the US-800’s USB
cable or AC adaptor could cause the
computer to restart.
Prevention:
Do not disconnect or connect the
USB cable or AC adaptor while a DAW
application is open.
Problem:
If the US-800 sends a MIDI command
to the computer before startup of
a DAW application with MIDI input
and output functions completes, the
computer will restart.
Prevention:
Before starting up of a DAW
application with MIDI input and
output functions, turn off the power
of any MIDI devices connected to the
US-800. Turn the power for the MIDI
devices on again after the application
has completed starting up.
Problem:
When using Windows XP, Windows
Vista or Windows 7 64bit operating
systems, using YouTube or another
video site or running Skype or other
video display software continuously
for 2–3 hours can cause memory
consumption to increase and could
cause the computer to freeze.
Prevention:
In order to avoid freezing, close and
restart your web browser or video
software once before you plan to use it
for a long time.
