Preface

Thank you for purchasing WaveU. We are convinced that it will bring you a

lot of joy in the future and above all a lot of momentum to your now 30-

year-old U-110 or U-220.

Why you should read the manual

Manuals are usually unpopular, boring or even annoying. We have made

every effort to make sure that you don't fall asleep after reading the first

two pages.

Whether you read this manual is up to you, you can also put it aside. How-

ever, you should know that this manual informs you about the correct use

of WaveU. You will also find important safety instructions that you must fol-

low. They are highlighted in gray and therefore easily recognizable. You

don't want to expose yourself and your environment to unnecessary dan-

ger, do you?

Your WaveReX Team

This is a product to praise the glory of Roland and its outstanding

musical products!

Safety instructions

page 6 of 30

Safety instructions

Please read these safety instructions carefully. It is essential that you un-

derstand these instructions in order to use WaveU safely.

Keep the safety instructions handy until the end of WaveU's life.

If you have any questions or are unsure how to use WaveU, contact our

support team immediately.

WaveU is a plug-in card for the PCM CARD slots (ROM) of the Roland U-

110 and U-220. It serves as a replacement for the PCM cards of the Ro-

land company.

ATTENTION!

Only insert WaveU into the designated card slot. Make sure that the card

is oriented correctly.

WaveU was developed for use in private households as well as for use in

recording studios.

ATTENTION!

Use outside closed rooms can cause damage to WaveU and your device.

Use WaveU only indoors.

Due to its design, WaveU is particularly sensitive to inappropriate force ef-

fects.

ATTENTION!

Do not attempt to bend, compress or twist WaveU. Never force WaveU

into the card slot of your device. Do not drop WaveU or apply force to the

card.

WaveU is an electronic product. It contains state-of-the-art electronic com-

ponents and was developed and built according to the current state of the

art.

ATTENTION!

Use WaveU only in rooms with room temperature and low humidity. Do not

expose WaveU to liquids. This can damage or even destroy the electronic

components.

WaveU's housing protects the underlying components and serves as an

insertion aid into the card slot.

ATTENTION!

Never open the card. This can destroy the card and the electronic compo-

nents. A defective housing can no longer guarantee proper insertion into

the card slot. This can lead to malfunction or destruction of WaveU or even

your device.

WaveU's contacts are gold-plated to withstand mechanical demands

longer. Nevertheless, this is a contact-based technology.

ATTENTION!

Even though WaveU is designed to last, try to remove WaveU from the

card slot only when necessary.

WaveU works with non-hazardous voltages.

ATTENTION!

However, you should avoid touching the gold contacts. The contacts can

be permanently attacked by the skin grease. And don't even think about

licking the contacts!

Metal objects on the contacts can cause short circuits.

ATTENTION!

Never short-circuit the contacts! This will destroy WaveU and can cause

you serious physical damage!

A defective WaveU can severely damage your device.

Safety instructions

ATTENTION!

Do not use WaveU if it has any obvious damage. If you are not sure, con-

tact support.

A defective device can severely damage your WaveU.

ATTENTION!

Do not use WaveU if your device has a defect. Faulty voltages, short cir-

cuits etc. can destroy the card.

Intended use

page 9 of 30

Intended use

WaveU has been designed exclusively for the RS-PCM Sound Modules of

the U series from Roland Corporation Japan and is compatible only with

these devices. It is designed to be used in the PCM CARD slot (ROM) of

the device.

Attention!

Never use WaveU in incompatible devices. You can destroy your device

and WaveU!

The warnings in this manual and on the back of the card must be read, un-

derstood and applied.

Reasonably foreseeable misappli-

cation

WaveU must never be inserted into a card slot that is not labeled PCM

CARD, such as a card slot RAM CARD, which is designed exclusively for

program memory cards.

WaveU contains sensitive electronics. The card must not be exposed to

weather conditions as this may destroy the electronics.

WaveU may only be used for the purpose described in this manual. Any

misuse of WaveU is considered improper use.

WaveU has only been tested in U-series devices. Even though WaveU is

technically identical to the SN-U110 cards, you use WaveU in the Roland

D-70 at your own risk.

Preparation

To connect WaveU to your computer you need a micro USB cable. This is

not included in the delivery.

You can also use a USB extension, but make sure that the total length

does not exceed 5m. This is not included in the delivery.

Up to Windows 7 you need a USB driver. You can download it from the

download page www.waverex.de/downloads/.

If you use Windows 8 or higher you don't need any drivers.

To create your own cards and upload them to your WaveU you need the

software editor from WaveReX. Download it from the download page

www.waverex.de/downloads/. Make sure you always use the latest version

so you don't miss any updates or bugfixes.

Even if you have already turned on your U with anticipation, turn it off first

and be patient for a moment.

In the following we will introduce you to the functionality of WaveU and the

software editor with a kind of quickstart. If you are familiar with the basic

principles of the sound generation of your device, you can start right away.

However, we recommend that you first read the chapters Basics and

Technical Data. Here you will find a basic explanation of how the whole

system works and what you should pay attention to.

The Hardware

page 10 of 30

The Hardware

①–WaveU card

②–Micro-USB-connector

③–Status LED (green)

④–Transmission LED (blue)

⑤–Contacts (back side)

The USB port

The USB port on your WaveU is used to transfer data from your computer

to WaveU. It is a USB-B micro connector.

WaveU is powered by both your device and USB, whichever is higher.

Attention!

When new, the connector may still be a little tight. Never insert your USB

cable with force, you can destroy the connector!

The card

The card was manufactured in a sandwich process from conventional

board material (GRP). The layers are both soldered and glued. The cover

is made of stainless steel and protects the internal electronic components.

It is also firmly glued. Trying to open the card or the lid will definitely de-

stroy your WaveU. Under normal circumstances there is no reason for this.

If you have problems with your card not being recognized, please refer to

the Troubleshooting chapter.
