Features of the UA-20
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the UA-20. The UA-20 is a USB
audio interface that can be connected to your computer by a single USB cable,
allowing you to record and play back audio data in high-quality digital form.
Awesome, high-quality, 24-bit sound
You can use your computer to digitally record and play back unbelievably high-
quality audio in 24-bit format.
* Your application must support 24-bit audio data.
Mic/guitar input
The high-impedance inputs allow not only mic but also guitar or bass to be
connected directly. RCA phono-type output jacks and a digital output jack (optical)
are also provided.
Direct Monitor function
The Direct Monitor function allows the input signal from each input jack to be
directly monitored in real time from headphones or the analog outputs, without
routing the audio through your computer application. You can also switch the
monitor function on/off from an ASIO 2.0 compatible application.
WDM/ASIO 2.0 drivers included
You can enjoy high performance when using WDM-compatible applications such
as SONAR, and ASIO-compatible applications such as Cubase and Logic. Of course
you can also use the UA-20 with applications that support MMD (Windows) or
SoundManager (Mac OS).
* Roland will provide no guarantee or support regarding operation with sequencer software or
audio editing software made by another manufacturer. Please contact the manufacturer of the
software you are using.
MIDI IN/OUT interface
A set of MIDI IN/OUT connectors is provided for easy connection with MIDI
devices.
