UW10 Features
 
 
Digital and analog interface
 
The UW10 functions as an interface that enables you to digitally record MDs and 
cassette tapes to a computer, or create music using an audio/MIDI sequencer and 
MIDI tone generators (MOTIF-RACK etc.). The analog inputs on the UW10 
convert incoming analog signals into digital. This prevents audio deterioration 
due to computer noise and enables you to perform clean, clear sound recordings.
 
 
Easy Hot Swap Connection
 
You can connect and disconnect a USB cable while the power to the computer is 
turned on. The power is provided through the USB bus power supply. For this 
reason, the UW10 does not require a power adapter.
 
 
Versatile software programs
 
An included software program, called TWEplus Wave Editor, enables you to record 
via the UW10 and edit various wave files (MP3, WAV, AIFF). Another program, the S-
YXG50 SoftSynthesizer, enables you to play MIDI data on the computer, record it, 
then convert it into a wave file in TWEplus, with the UW10 set in Track Down mode.
 
 
Supports Windows
 
The UW10 supports Windows 98/Me/2000/XP.
