Built-In Effects
Great audio and versatile MIDI combined with a quality suite of built-in effects make the UA-4FX an irresistible package for computer-recording enthusiasts on a budget. Why pay extra for outboard or plug-in effects when the UA-4FX provides a quality, COSM tube mic-preamp simulator, multi-band compressor/limiter for mastering, guitar amp-simulator and distortion/chorus/delay for guitar, center cancel, reverb, noise suppressor, and more.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Good news for both Mac and PC users -- the UA-4FX is cross-platform compatible. It supports WDM, ASIO 2.0, and Mac OS X Core Audio formats. Enjoy low-latency audio performance on both platforms! PC users are in for an extra treat: Edirol ships the UA-4FX with a complimentary copy of Cakewalk's Sonar LE multi-track recording software as well as Edirol's Virtual Sound Canvas plug-in.
Low-Latency MIDI
Great audio is only part of what makes the UA-4FX a star performer. Connect your synths, modules, and controllers via MIDI, and enjoy ultra-fast, stable performance thanks to the FPT (Fast Processing Transmission) technology. A single USB cable provides both the MIDI and audio links between your computer and the UA-4FX.
Portable Power
The UA-4FX receives its power via USB, which means no AC adapter is required. Great for musicians on the go!
