All user reviews of 1/5 for the M-Audio Midisport Uno

I chose it for its price, its availability in the store closest to me and its good reputation.
I use materials with relatively old design (Yamaha WX5 and VL70-m, Roland XV-2020, Digitech PMC10) thus not requiring high data rates.
Its primary purpose was to monitor and understand the data from a wind controller and the processing done by a first synthesizer.
Eventually, I should use it to program a patch pedals and synthesizers or control a synthesizer from the controller.

UTILIZATION

Drivers for Windows 7/64 bits are missing from the installation CD ... but I am used to always grab the latest version on the internet.
Recognized from the start both Windows 7 than with XP, she responded to my need for at least ... two hours before dying in a good smell of hot PCB.
Before finally giving up the ghost, it took me at least twice to restart my system after the transfer to be fixed, but I had at the time accused the software instability.

OVERALL OPINION

I chose him for good grades on various forums.
This is my first attempt of an adapter midi / usb.
What I appreciated was its simplicity of implementation.
What I like least is held in its use.

I will give a more complete review when I have been able to exchange it.

USB Midi interface 1in/1out ...
Nothing simpler. Perfect in the mind of a small config with a single link Synth (Triton The one, in this case) / PC (a Sony Vaio laptop).

Solid side ... ZERO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............

UTILIZATION

Installing the Drivers in XP weird .... The new version of drivers is more cool to be installed.
Bad point, the drivers are still not signed for XP.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in January. And until yesterday, everything was fine the childhood of art even for a beginner like me. No problem in SX and SX 2.
Since I use my laptop for something other than music, I disconnected regularly to take my PC. Yesterday, I was surprised to find it désagéable the ground. My time, the weight of the MIDI cables are 3m long played against me and Isaac Newton did the rest.
Never mind, I reconnect my interface, I turn on my PC and ....... nothing.
No one who lights loupiotte.

Reaction # 1: It's still my Windaube that show .... logic, it's Microsoft after all!

I retappe an installation of drivers ... medlars.
I try to update him on where the driver is ... nada.

Reaction # 2: Before I redo a reinstallation of XP, I plugged into another pc all clean ...
Well, peanuts ....!
is no better.
So is the interface that shit .... Grrrrr!!

Tomorrow I go home seller to moan

I have a yamaha p80 I wanted to plug into USB on my laptop (Packard Bell E510, Centrino 1.4 G)

UTILIZATION

I've had three months and no way to run. Yet I took the time to visit all the forums arranged to settle the few problems identified gnralement (such as reverse in / out connections in the afternoon), and ...
Still nothing.
Is it the drivers, who obviously are not the rigor personifies, is it my hardware that does not fit the team a M-Audio (Packard Bell Centrino 1.4G)?
Nevertheless, the hotline does not rpond short, I lost 60 euros.

OVERALL OPINION

If you have money fuck up, it's a pretty piece of blue plastic with small loupiotte light: a make a beautiful wreath for Christmas ...

The M-Audio MIDIsport UNO is a 1x1 MIDI in an out interface through USB. In theory, it should be used for encoding and decoding MIDI data to a sequencer in a DAW. MIDI has been around since the early '80s, and is a very basic digital code that keeps tracks of note and dynamic information. This means that any computer should be able to encode and decode this information, as has been around for years, was first used when Apple II's were all the rage, and USB offers plenty of bandwith and speed to run this information.

UTILIZATION

It is USB, so other than a driver installation, just plugging it in gets it to work. The drivers aren't operated often, but make sure you use the latest drivers if you decide to purchase this.

OVERALL OPINION

For my purposes this device is unusable. I wanted to record MIDI in real time, but this piece of junk is way too slow with way too much latency for this purpose. The only way this thing could be used in a studio environment is as a step recorder, not a real time recorder. I guess it would work for transcribing music, but again, this is not how I intended to use it. I no longer use this (although I still own it, somewhere...) but instead use the MIDI input and output from my Delta 1010 LT. Even though M-Audio manufactured both items, the Delta 1010 LT is much more stable and much faster. There are some latency issues with the Delta, but at least it is useable. The MIDIsport Uno is nearly useless compared to the Delta 1010 LT's MIDI interface.

At first I only needed to connect a master keyboard to drive Kontakt 2. So a friend lent me his usb uno no longer using it, but I got the famous bug of operation we are talking about on the forums (poor responsiveness and keys that are locked) and that on both my G5et on my macbook pro core duo.
I thought it came from the Mbox, but without the same problem.
I sent an email to M-audio and no new after three weeks.
config: G5 1.6 Ghz 2GB Ram 750 GB HDD, Macbook Pro Duo 2Ghz 2GB 100GB Rope 7200trs, Mbox, Protools 7.1, Kontakt2.2, Keyboard Roland PC 180-A

UTILIZATION

I loaded the latest drivers and whether in ProTools, in Reason in Kontakt, it never really worked properly.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm really surprised they can sell such an interface and above all there can be such a bug.
I just needed to connect a master keyboard which was working fine on my old G3 with a midi interface in serial port.
I fell back on an Edirol UM-3EX who has more drivers for Intel Mac (not on the cd, but to download from the site) and that worked immediately and perfectly.

I insist. I really tried everything.

USB Mini

UTILIZATION

I had the unfortunate ide to purchase this gadget there are three or four months in order to control my pc by MicroKorg well as VST fly through my Yamaha Clavinova CLP 120.

The interface works ... sometimes ... with a lot of latency (fixes) and known bugs such as locking keys (as if you left a key on the synth constantly drives).

Now when I install the driver and then I connect the device APRS reboot the PC, the windows actually DTECT well, installs the device and recognize his name but ...
Ds I open a program using prriphriques noon, my Uno is not recognized, impossibility to transfer ...

I just tried reformatting, without installing the driver, change the USB port, find another driver, the driver Uninstallation, extraction in 32 Systm, hammers, small passage in the oven and pickling the ammonia but to no avail.

OVERALL OPINION

I pay good few tens of euros for this stypide bote son who has to march a few hours, is not recognized under Windows and when I worked Submitted whole range of bugs found for this device.

Buying strongly deprecated

To connect to my PC with XP (I said in response to another opinion, Windows NT, it is for the office, you can not do with computer music)
1 MIDI input and output, that's all I ask ...

UTILIZATION

Installation in 2 minutes top chrono without a hitch with the software drivers on CD, my PC detects the device as soon as I plug it is reliable in the image of M Audio product.

At first I connected to my box digital piano Yamaha P 80 and my Triton rack, I open Sonar, I set up my MIDI devices in the options, I put myself on a MIDI channel, and FLOW, a VST instrument with such course.

Then two days later, I put my keyboard-guitar Lag The Key instead of P80, and in Sonar it does not detect it ... still works Triton output (midi in) but that's it ...

I check that the concern is not with the Lag and its MIDI connections (I would have been pissed off) by connecting it directly to the Triton with a MIDI cable, but the two devices communicate together ... it's not normally the connections so it's UNO.

So I'm going to the website of M audio to download the latest drivers (well y'en that dates from early 2005 ... I tell myself ooh lala, I hope it's not what I ' earlier)

Ben and the driver on the site is larger, I install it in place of another, and since everything is working normally!

So if you have similar interests as I do not hesitate to download the latest driver. I put 8 to ca ... they could immediately deliver functional drivers ...

OVERALL OPINION

Apart from this concern with my Lag, easily adjusted, it will run, it does what I ask him, and besides it does not require the purchase and more MIDI cables if your keyboards and other sound modules are not too far from your computer, in home studio.

Before I had a M audio Firewire Audiophile, and I never had no problems with MIDI, or with any other sound card or MIDI case in fact.

Here, a good product not that expensive since it's serious and it works spot on!

EDIT I ​​see my note seriously down!
Overnight, the MIDI cables of the box will not detect my device, an expander TRITON Lag and a master keyboard, the computer interface it worked. So I sent home as collateral Thomann, which I have returned one week later, but they did nothing, except tell me how to configure my interface in Cubase.
I gave them back a second time in their explaining that the problem was not from the "software" but it came in MIDI cables!
In short, they were sent home this time the M Audio, I just get it back a month later, and it still does not work ...

My PC is configured, the concern comes from the UNO, I do not know if the M Audio Service are chimney-builders or what, but I will not waste my time in this story!
I will send just a message to M audio Thomann also ...
I'll take one box at Edirol, with two MIDI cables and more, no more little boxes all in one, because if the MIDI cables integrated déconnent thing, I'm in the poo ...
If it works better for you, but if will have one concern, I hope you have better luck than me with the VAS of the brand!
