- If the DJ-707M does not work correctly after resuming from Sleep mode, you should exit all applications that use the DJ-707M, and then turn the power of the DJ-707M off and on again.
- If the USB cable is disconnected and reconnected while the DJ-707M is in use, or if the power of the DJ-707M is turned off, then on again, it may stop operating correctly. If this occurs, after resuming, you should exit all applications that use the DJ-707M, and turn the power of the DJ-707M off, then on again.
- Audio clicks and pops may occur during playback or recording if you connect or disconnect other USB devices (such as USB memory) or turn another USB device on/off while using the DJ-707M.
- In some cases, you may not obtain the expected level of performance if you're using a USB-connected hard disk at the same time as the DJ-707M. Do not use a USB-connected hard disk as the storage destination for the audio that you're playing back or recording.
* | Before installing the driver, you must set the USB Driver of the DJ-707M to "VENDOR." |
* | To reinstall or update the driver, refer to "To reinstall." |
- Disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse, and then start Windows.

Settings for playback and recording devices to be used with Windows applications
Configure the settings for using DJ-707M in Windows applications.
* | Some applications may allow individual setup of playback/recording devices. |
- Click the "Start" button, and then click "Settings."
- Click "System," and then click "Sound."
- Under "Output," select the device to be used for playback, such as DJ-707M's "DECK1 AUDIO OUT."

Device settings for ASIO-compatible applications
When using the DJ-707M with an ASIO-compatible application, select "DJ-707M ASIO" as the ASIO setting for your application.
* | To prevent an audio feedback loop or double monitoring, make settings on your application to turn monitoring off. |
* | The DJ-707M main unit does not support ASIO Direct Monitor, but if you use Cubase, by enabling Direct Monitoring in the Cubase setting, you can prevent loop oscillation of audio equipment and duplicate monitoring. |
* | When using the DJ-707M with ASIO, we recommend that you set your application so that it does not use the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. (In order to decrease the load, and for convenience when changing Audio Buffer Size of the driver.) |
MIDI input/output device
* | In the Windows Media Player, the MIDI input/output device of DJ-707M cannot be used. Please select the following device in your MIDI compatible application. |
- [MIDI OUT devices]
- DJ-707M
-
- [MIDI IN devices]
- DJ-707M

When the driver installation is completed, you can open the Readme file (this document) by following the procedure described below.
Use this file for troubleshooting and for checking how to set up the driver.
- Click the "Start" button, and then click "All apps".
- Open the Roland folder and then click "DJ-707M Readme".
- When changing driver settings, always make sure to first quit all applications using the DJ-707M. This is unnecessary when only checking the settings.
* | Please wait for about 10 seconds until these applications exit completely. |
- Click the "Start" button, and then click "All apps".
-
Open the Roland folder and then click "DJ-707M".
- The "DJ-707M Driver Settings" dialog box will appear.
- Audio Buffer Size
- You can adjust the audio input/output buffer size. (By default, this will be the sixth position from the left.)
- Decreasing the buffer size will shorten the latency and improve realtime performance, but might make it more likely that you will experience audio clicks and pops, depending on your computer's processing power and the song data load.
Increasing the buffer size will lengthen the latency, but will make audio streaming more stable, and it will be less likely for audio clicks and pops to occur.
- In general, you'll probably want to decrease the buffer size for better realtime performance if you're playing a software synthesizer in real time, or if you're monitoring an audio input that's being passed through your DAW software.
Conversely, you can increase the buffer size to prevent audio clicks and pops if you're recording or playing back song data that contains numerous tracks and presents a heavy processing load.
- By changing the buffer size as appropriate for your situation, you can obtain the right balance between realtime performance and audio streaming stability.
* Note!
If you use an application with an audio equipment test function, after changing the buffer size, carry out a test.
- ASIO Buffer Size
- This is the buffer size that can be set by the ASIO application.
