Getting Connected and Installing Drivers (Macintosh)
What is a driver?
A “driver” is software that transfers data between the UM-2EX and application software running
on your computer, when your computer and the UM-2EX are connected. The driver sends data
from your application to the UM-2EX, and from the UM-2EX to your application.
About the driver modes
The UM-2EX has two operating modes, Advanced mode and Standard driver mode , and a
different driver is used by each mode.
* Standard driver mode supports only Mac OS X.
If you’re using OS 9, you must turn the ADVANCED (mode select) Switch ON before you
connect the UM-2EX to your Macintosh.
*FPT = Fast Processing Technology for MIDI Transmission
Steps to be performed on the UM-2EX itself are marked by a symbol.
About the Driver Modes
ON
(Advanced mode)
This mode utilizes the UM-2EX’s special, advanced MIDI driver.
This advanced driver uses *FPT technology for rapid, high-performance
MIDI transmissions.
We recommend use of this mode.

OFF
(Standard driver
mode)
This mode uses the standard MIDI driver included with the OS.
Use this if you do not have the special driver installed.
