UW500 Features
Transferring audio and MIDI data simultaneously
You can use audio data and MIDI data at the same time.
The audio inputs and outputs of the UW500 support both analog signals (micro-
phone input and line input/output) and digital signals (optical input/output). MIDI
data is transferred via the MIDI IN/OUT terminals and TO TG terminal (which is
equivalent to a computer’s serial port). Multiple-port configuration (6 MIDI outputs
and 2 MIDI inputs) reinforces a powerful musical production environment.
Producing a clear sound
Usually, if you try to record audio using a computer’s audio input jack, computer
noise is introduced and lowers the audio quality during the analog-to-digital conver-
sion. The UW500, however, converts analog input signals into digital, which enables
you to record clear sound to your hard disk.
The included software supports a musical production environ-
ment
Using the included software, XGworks and TWE facilitate hard disk recording. Even
without external tone generators, you can play both audio data and MIDI data
simultaneously using SoftSynthesizer S-YXG50.
Easy Hot Swap Connection
With a USB connection, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable while the
power to the computer is on. You can also use the unit as soon as you install the
driver.
USB Fast Data Transfer
USB connection enables a quick response from any connected devices during simul-
taneous audio and MIDI data performance.
USB
USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting
a computer with peripheral devices, and enables much faster data transfer
(12Mbps) compared to conventional serial port connections. Also, it allows “hot
swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is
on).

UW500 Features
The UW500 supports SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) to protect the
copyrights of music software. When you digitally copy data from CDs, or other music
software purchased from stores, to your own media (such as MDs), information
regarding digital recording generation is also recorded. If you route the recorded data
to the DIGITAL IN jack, the data cannot be recorded on the computer. Use analog
inputs (INPUT 1-3 jacks) to record data on the computer.
It is prohibited to use copyrighted songs and sound data (that can be recorded via
the UW500) for commercial purposes. It is also prohibited to reproduce, transfer,
or distribute the data, or play the data for a commercial audience without
permission from the owners of the copyright, except for personal use or
application that does not infringe the copyright. If you wish to use such data for
occasions other than personal use, consult a copyright expert. Yamaha is not
responsible for any data created, reproduced, or edited using the UW500, nor for
any reproduction or use of such data.

Changing the driver set-
ting (MIDI Patch Screen)
You can change the assignment of I/O ports on the UW500 and port numbers
selected from the computer.
Sequence software transmits and receives MIDI signals to and from the UW500 via the
driver (page 22). The UW500 is equipped with MIDI IN/OUT terminals and a TO TG
terminal. You specify the I/O ports of the UW500 to control from the computer’s
sequence software. At this time, changing the driver setting enables you to change
these I/O assignments without re-patching the cables.
For example, you can transmit an identical MIDI signal to multiple ports or transmit
layered MIDI signals from multiple ports to a single port. Also, you can directly route
MIDI signals from MIDI IN to MIDI OUT.
The following table shows the assignment of the port numbers and I/O ports. With the
default settings, the port number matches the computer’s port number.
If a tone generator connected to the TO TG terminal does not support
multi-port specifications, the selection of ports B-E will be ignored.

The audio inputs and outputs of the UW500 support both analog signals (microphone input and line input/output) and digital signals (optical input/output). MIDI data is transferred via the MIDI IN/OUT terminals and TO TG terminal (which is equivalent to a computer’s serial port). Multiple-port configuration (6 MIDI outputs and 2 MIDI inputs) reinforces a powerful musical production environment. • Producing a clear sound Usually, if you try to record audio using a computer’s audio input jack, computer noise is introduced and lowers the audio quality during the analog-to-digital conversion. The UW500, however, converts analog input signals into digital, which enables you to record clear sound to your hard disk. • The included software supports a musical production environment Using the included software, XGworks and TWE facilitate hard disk recording. Even without external tone generators, you can play both audio data and MIDI data simultaneously using SoftSynthesizer S-YXG50. • Easy Hot Swap Connection With a USB connection, you can connect and disconnect the USB cable while the power to the computer is on. You can also use the unit as soon as you install the driver. • USB Fast Data Transfer USB connection enables a quick response from any connected devices during simultaneous audio and MIDI data performance. USB USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with peripheral devices, and enables much faster data transfer (12Mbps) compared to conventional serial port connections. Also, it allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is on). 6 UW500.book Page 7 Monday, October 16, 2000 10:21 AM UW500 Features Notes on USB Don’t turn the power to the UW500 on or off, or connect or disconnect a USB cable under any of the following conditions.

Install the driver by following the steps (starting from Step 3) described on page 23. ■ The UW500 does not operate correctly, or no sound is heard. • Did you install the driver? (page 23) • Are the USB cable, MIDI cables, serial cables, and audio cables connected correctly? (page 16) • Is the volume setting of the tone generator, playback device, and application program set to the appropriate level? • Have you selected an appropriate port in the sequence software? • Is the HOST SELECT switch on the tone generator set correctly? → If the tone generator is connected to the MIDI IN/OUT terminals, set the switch to “MIDI.” If the tone generator is connected to the TO TG terminal, set the switch to “PC-1” or “Mac”, regardless of the computer you are using. 51 UW500.book Page 52 Monday, October 16, 2000 10:21 AM Troubleshooting (FAQ) • Are you using another USB device? → If you are using another USB device, first connect only Yamaha’s USB device to make sure there is no problem. • (You cannot play a music CD) → Check the “Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device” checkbox. (page 30). • (You do not hear any sound digitally input from a connected MD or CD player.) → Is the INPUT SELECT switch set correctly? (page 14.) ■ The sound is interrupted or distorted. • Does your computer satisfy the system requirements? (page 11) • Is any other application or device driver running? → Quit all unnecessary application programs. • Have you tried to record and play back a Wave file at the same time? → If you try to record and play back a Wave file at the same time, the playback sound may be interrupted and noise may be introduced, depending on the computer being used. When you are using XGworks, recording has priority. • Is the SoftSynthesizer set properly? → If you are using SoftSynthesizer, the load can be reduced by changing the settings of “Maximum CPU Usage” and “Quality.” For more information, refer to the “S-YXG50 Help” file located at [Start|Programs|YAMAHA SoftSynthesizer SYXG50]. • Have you tried to record or play audio data for several minutes? → The processing performance of some computers may decline depending on various factors, such as the processing speed of audio data, access to an external storage device, etc. You may be able to improve the performance by changing the settings as follows: [Control Panel] → [Multimedia] → [Audio] → [Advanced Properties]. Set the “Hardware acceleration” to “Full.” Set the “Sample rate conversion quality” to “Good.” [Control Panel] → [System] → [Device Manager] → [Disk Drives] or [Hard Disk Controllers] Select a mode for high speed processing (for example, turn DMA mode ON). Upgrade to a higher speed driver. NOTE 52 For more information on upgrading the driver, visit the web site of the hard disk manufacturer. UW500.book Page 53 Monday, October 16, 2000 10:21 AM Troubleshooting (FAQ) [Control Panel] → [System] → [Performance]. NOTE Yamaha recommends that only users with advanced knowledge about computers change this setting. Make sure that the file system is correctly set. If the computer has enough free memory space (more than 128MB) and the size of the Wave file to be recorded or played back is not large, you may be able to improve the performance by changing the setting for the virtual memory. Some computers may need updated device drivers (such as a hard disk controller) or BIOS. For more information, contact the customer support department or visit the home page of the computer manufacturer. ■ Cannot suspend or resume the computer correctly. • Do not suspend the computer while the audio/MIDI application is running. ■ Wish to use the UW500 in MIDI-supported games. 1. Double-click “Multimedia” in the “Control Panel”. 2. Click the “MIDI” tab and select the driver according to the port number of the connected tone generator. (page 29) ■ Wave data and MIDI data do not synchronize with each other on XGworks. → MIDI data may not synchronize to Wave data on some computers. In this case, insert blank Wave data at the end of the XGworks song. → Select [System Setup] from the [Setup] menu in XGworks to display the Device page. Do not select unnecessary devices here. 53 UW500.book Page 54 Monday, October 16, 2000 10:21 AM SOFTWARE LICENSING AGREEMENT The following is a legal agreement between you, the end user, and Yamaha Corporation (“Yamaha”).
