First steps 

The principle of WaveU 

With the software editor for WaveU you can compose a virtual card, a so-
called image, on your computer. This image can contain up to 128 tones 
and 2 voices per tone. The image can then be transferred from the editor 
to your WaveU and used by the U. 

Connecting 

Turn on your computer and wait until it has booted up. 

Take your WaveU out of the box. The side with the label is the top side. 
The bottom side has the warning labels. 

Do not put your WaveU in the U for now. First place it on a smooth, dry 
surface, e.g., a table. 

Now take the micro-USB cable and connect it to your WaveU. The other 
side of the cable can then be plugged into a free USB port on your com-
puter, it doesn't matter if you use a USB2 or USB3 port. WaveU will be 
powered when the green LED is lit. 

Your WaveU will start in bootloader mode for five seconds. You can see 
this by the double blinking of the blue LED. After that, your WaveU will au-
tomatically start in operating mode.  

Starting with Windows 8, Windows should now install the drivers on its 
own. Check in the device manager if your device appears as 

WaveReX 

bootloader

, then you have done everything right. 

Installing the USB driver 

If you are using Windows 7 or an older version, you have to install the driv-
ers manually. 

Plug your WaveU into the computer. If Windows 7 starts installing the de-
vice drivers immediately, you can simply close or ignore the window. 

 

However, at least the following message should appear in the taskbar: 
"The device driver software has not been installed" (Sorry, the pictures are 
only available in German) 

 

Go to the Device Manager. WaveReX should appear under 

Other De-

vices

. Right-click on WaveReX and select 

Update Driver Software...
