Frequently Asked Questions
Roland’s USB class-compliant drivers generally offer very respectable latency performance, often on par or better than competitors, particularly when optimized for macOS.
Yes, the Hi-Z input handles active basses well, but be mindful of the onboard compressor if the signal is particularly hot; it’s designed for subtle control, not extreme limiting.
Because it’s class-compliant, it *should* work without drivers, but installing the Roland drivers will unlock the full feature set and ensure optimal performance.
