If a MIDI sound module and the UA-3 are connected via USB to the same computer, and the output of the MIDI sound module is con-
nected to the line input jacks of the UA-3, noise from the computer may enter via the MIDI sound module and be heard from the UA-3. In
such cases, use a self-powered hub to connect the MIDI sound module and the UA-3 in parallel, or connect the MIDI sound module via
the serial interface or MIDI interface.
• Noise may be heard if you record and play back simultaneously.
If you record and play back simultaneously, the playback may be interrupted depending on the performance of the system, and this may
be heard as noise. However since priority is given to recording, the recorded data will not be lost.
• This problem may be solved by properly grounding the chassis of your computer, or the ground prong of the plug on the AC
power cord that was supplied with your computer. Also, make sure that there are no devices nearby that emit a strong magnetic
field, such as a television or a microwave oven.
• Are a large number of audio devices connected?
