Roland Continues Provision of Fully-supported 64-bit Drivers - Now Available for FireWire Interfaces; EDIROL FA-66 and FA-101 - Supporting the latest platform for computer musicians Los Angeles, CA, January 19, 2006-Introducing the latest addition to the range of 64bit Drivers from EDIROL - the FA-66 and FA-101. Roland yet again offers fully-supported Version 1.0 drivers for 64-bit Windows that meet Roland's demanding standards for driver implementation. The introduction of these drivers allows existing users of EDIROL interfaces to use them on a 64-bit Windows computer. While most 32-bit software applications such as Cakewalk SONAR 5 will operate on a 64-bit computing system, a true 64-bit driver is required for all hardware peripherals including audio and MIDI interfaces. With the introduction of fully-supported 64-bit drivers for existing interface products, Roland continues to maintain its position as the leader in audio interface driver technology for both the Windows and the Macintosh platforms. Roland introduced the world's first USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Drivers for Mac OS X Tiger for the EDIROL UA-101 USB 2.0 Audio Interface. The FA-101 is the world's first FireWire interface to truly support native Core Audio on Mac OS X: simply plug it in and its ready, no driver installation, truly plug & play. It was awarded a MIX Magazine "Certified Hit"
award for a top technology innovation at the 2004 Winter NAMM show and has rightly been very popular among many Mac musicians. In just the same way the FA-66 also supports native Core Audio. Now, by introducing 64-bit Drivers, more computer musicians will have the benefits of a high quality and high fidelity recording environment with EDIROL FireWire interfaces. 64-bit drivers are available for the following EDIROL Interfaces, all available for download from www.EDIROL.net: UA-1000, UA-101, UA-25, UA-20, UA-5, UA-3FX, UA-1EX, UA-700, UM-880, UM-550, UM3EX, UM-2EX/2, UM-1EX/1SX/1X/1S/1, PCR-M1/M30/M50/M80/30/50/80, PC-50, PCRA30, PCR-1, SD-90/80/20 and M-100FX, and, of course, FA-66 and FA-101.
