What is MIDI?
MIDI is an internationally recognized standard for exchanging performance information
between electronic musical instruments and computers.
For example, in the illustration below, a MIDI signal meaning “the‘C’ key on the MIDI keyboard
was pressed” passes through the UM-ONE and is received by the computer’s software sound
module, and then the software sound module plays the note“C.”
Software sound module
“C” is played
MIDI signal
“C” key is pressed
Information meaning “the ‘C’ key was pressed”
In this way, MIDI is used to send performance information to other instruments; for example
“the ‘C’ key was pressed with a certain amount of force,”“the instrument was changed to a violin
sound,”“the volume was raised/lowered,”“the pitch was raised/lowered,” etc. In other words,
MIDI is the “language of musical instruments.”
MIDI signals are merely performance instructions, therefore a MIDI sound module, such as a
software sound module, is required to produce sound.
All software sound modules and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software support MIDI.
* DAW software is a term that refers to music production software.
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and

Refer all servicing to your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor,
as listed on the “Information”page.
• Never install the unit in any of the
following locations.
• Subject to temperature extremes
(e.g., direct sunlight in an
enclosed vehicle, near a heating
duct, on top of heat-generating
equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on
wet oors); or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
• Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration
and shakiness.
• Do not place containers containing
liquid on this product. Never allow
foreign objects (e.g., ammable
objects, coins, wires) or liquids
(e.g., water or juice) to enter this
product. Doing so may cause short
circuits, faulty operation, or other
malfunctions.
• Immediately disconnect the USB
cable, and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page when:
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid
has been spilled onto the unit; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• The unit has been exposed to rain
(or otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to
operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance.
• In households with small children,
an adult should provide supervision
until the child is capable of
following all the rules essential for
the safe operation of the unit.
Used for instructions intended to alert the
user to the risk of injury or material
damage should the unit be used
improperly.
* Material damage refers to damage or
other adverse effects caused with
respect to the home and all its
furnishings, as well to domestic animals
or pets.
Used for instructions intended to alert the
user to the risk of death or severe injury
should the unit be used improperly.

USING THE UNIT SAFETY
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
• Try to prevent cords and cables
from becoming entangled. Also, all
cords and cables should be placed
so they are out of the reach of
children.
• Never climb on top of, nor place
heavy objects on the unit.
• Disconnect all cords coming from
external devices before moving the
unit.

5
IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight,
place it near devices that radiate heat, leave
it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise
subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive
heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• When moved from one location to another
where the temperature and/or humidity is
very dierent, water droplets (condensation)
may form inside the unit. Damage or
malfunction may result if you attempt to use
the unit in this condition. Therefore, before
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g.,
ower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use
of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish,
spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe
away any liquid that spills on the unit using a
dry, soft cloth.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a
soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly
dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure
to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or
solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility
of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using
its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can
lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables,
grasp the connector itself—never pull on the
cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts,
or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
• When you need to transport the unit,
package it in the box (including padding)
that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will
need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Company names and product names
appearing in this document are registered
trademarks or trademarks of their respective
