Installing the ASIO driver
You must install the MIDI driver even if you will be using only audio on the
UA-700. Be sure to install the MIDI driver before you install the ASIO
driver.
This section explains how to install the ASIO driver that allows the UA-700
to be used by your sequencer software or audio editing software. For details
on installation and settings of the ASIO driver, be sure to also read the Driver
E–ASIO Driver–Setting ASIO Driver-E.HTM document on the CD-ROM.
In Advanced mode, the UA-700 cannot play back audio data from the
Macintosh's sound manager (such as audio CDs and alert sounds).
The ASIO driver of the UA-700 supports the following audio input/output
channels.
• Audio input ........ 24/16 bit 1 stereo ch. (2 monaural chs.)
• Audio output ...... 24/16 bit 1 stereo ch. (2 monaural chs.)
Here we will explain how to install the ASIO 1.0 16 bit-compatible driver.
If your ASIO-compatible software supports ASIO 2.0 or recording/playback of
24 bit audio data, using the following drivers will provide a higher quality
environment.

Driver to use
ASIO (Steinberg Audio
Stream In/Out Interface)
This is an audio interface
standard promoted by the
Steinberg Corporation.
When the UA-700 is used
with ASIO-compatible
software, the
synchronization precision
will be improved,
allowing a more
sophisticated music
production environment.
The Audio setting dialog box
will be named differently
depending on your software.
For details refer to the
manual of your software.
