2. Software Installation

2.1 Driver installation

With Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X operating systems, the UMA25S is detected as soon as you connect a USB cable to your computer. After detection, you can kick off right away. Thanks to the implementation of Core Audio in Mac OS X, it is possible to process your audio with extremely low latency.

2.1.1 Windows XP MIDI driver

Optionally, you can install the BEHRINGER MIDI driver found on the supplied CD. The advantage of this driver is its multi-client support, which lets you simultaneously use several MIDI programs together with the UMA25S. Another advantage is that the model name is displayed in the selection dialog box of the MIDI driver.

Information on installing the driver is found on the CD in the ReadMe file of the according folder.

2.1.2 Windows XP/Vista audio driver

Fig. 1.6: USB mode with MIDI OUT

In this mode, the keyboard messages are transmitted via USB to the computer and simultaneously to MIDI OUT. The messages from the computer are only picked up by the UMA25S and not passed on to MIDI OUT.

This mode is ideal for recording your keyboard performance to your computer even when your sequencer or virtual instrument produces high latencies. To avoid this problem, use a rack synthesizer while recording but the virtual instrument during playback. The MIDI messages are sent to the computer and, at the same time, to the MIDI output.

Optionally, you can also install the BEHRINGER USB ASIO driver, which is included on the CD as well. Use this driver in case you want to work with the least possible latency of audio signals. Most professional music applications, such as Ableton Live and Compact, use ASIO drivers.

Information on installing the driver is found on the CD in the ReadMe file of the according folder.
