All user reviews for the M-Audio Midisport Uno

The MIDI Sport Uno is a small plug and play MIDI device that is so simple to set up. You install the drivers then plug it in and you can use it right away. It does not require any power supply and it connects to your computer through USB. The problem that I had with it is that there was like a slight delay between sending out MIDI signals. Which really messed up my workflow a lot. I used it with my M-Audio MIDI controller when I was getting these issues.


UTILIZATION

The price of the Sport Uno is 40 dollars, you really can not beat that price but how long are you going to use this MIDI device? Do you plan on having more gear (MIDI)? That is where I had to get rid of it , this was the first MIDI device that I actually purchased and used it for about two months, then sold it and bought one with more inputs, the MIDISPORT 2 by 2, then I ended up selling that to get one with 5 inputs. So I wouldn’t waste your time buying this unless you only plan on keeping 1 MIDI connection. It would be better to just invest in a device that has enough MIDI for your growing set up over time. But if you don’t plan on growing and getting more MIDI gear then the Sport Uno will work great for you.


OVERALL OPINION

Setting it up was quick and using it is simple. Make sure if you are using it with a MAC that you have 10.1 OS or higher, anything lower than that it will not work. If you are on Windows you will need to download the proper driver especially if you are on a newer system like Windows 7 or even Vista 64 bit. This is a great MIDI device, but it will leave you needing to upgrade within a year.

The M-Audio Midisport Uno is a usb 1x1 midi interface that is compacted into cable form, thus making it pretty easy to connect a single midi device to a computer without the need for any additional midi cables. It is over 6 feet in length and can reach to any devices that are located near a computer setup. It includes both midi out and midi in, although it can be confusing which connection is which, since you would have to connect the Midisport's midi in to the device's midi out, and connect the Midisport's midi out to the device's midi in. It always requires some trial and error to make sure the Midisport is plugged in correctly.

UTILIZATION

The M-Audio generally requires the drivers to be installed separately, and at least on my older Windows XP system, two sets of drivers were necessary: Midisport drivers, and Midisport loader drivers. When plugging the Midisport into the computer for the first, time, it must run through both hardware driver installations for both the loader and the actual device. This can be confusing, and hopefully M-Audio has updated this driver system for Windows 7. I have no experience using this particular interface on a Mac system.

Like most midi interfaces, the Midisport works flawlessly, and I never noticed any signal lag or loss of signal or data. There are even LED's on the device that lets you know when the Midisport is powered, and when it is receiving midi in, and when it is sending midi out.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this is a great, simple midi interface if you only plan on using it with a single midi device. Being in cable form has it's advantages, but it can also be awkward if, for example, the cable does not reach far enough, or if in a certain wiring, the central box floats awkwardly in the air. But overall, it is extremely portable and works as advertised. Perfect for laptop setups!

Used to connect my PC keyboard controller noon, before a sound card that features a MIDI port.

Since I have a sound card with midi I do not use any more, but I keep it as a fallback one day to buy a more expensive sound card, without having to take it with midi ports!

UTILIZATION

Stable drivers (used in Windows XP 32bit).
I have never updated, because I run on a dedicated PC to computer music. So when something works, I do not touch it!

Never had a problem of saturation.

OVERALL OPINION

The product does exactly what it is made.
He does it well, no frills.

In short, it is a choice that I will ever, especially for the quality / price.

If I do not put a better note, it's just because it requires an extra driver on the machine. But it is unfair for me because it's still somewhat the principle ...

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.

The fact that it is a MIDI / USB motivated me to take it. In addition, it is quite long, which is an advantage with my installation.
I use it either with synths in stand-alone or with Cubase.
I use it for almost 4 years on PC and Mac (see my config), and to this day, it works very well.

UTILIZATION

Used on a PC first and then on the Mac, I detected no problems of instability. The updates are not automatic, and I did not do much (maybe 2 or 3, since I was the product ...).

OVERALL OPINION

Used for nearly four years, it made me lurch at any time. It's a choice I made by chance (he was not very expensive, where I had bought), and to this day, I do not regret it.

Retailer See product sheet.

UTILIZATION

Installing a low Drout if you are a true goat but relatively simple computer for the other (the drivers installed in several steps).
There is no software conflict noted for the moment, the drivers are stable and the Uno is recognized by Windows carefree (Me).
Ovode shape and a blue plutt quelquonque it is dowry of three green LEDs with a variable indicating the intensity of power, one indicating the activity on the MIDI IN and the OUT on the other.
A small point, however, the plugs into the IN jack of your instrument.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three weeks since I have my card could not communicate with my DX7 for Librarians. Now it works nickel. 3 meters of the cables are very useful. M-Audio is a brand with a reputable no longer do. The advantage of these USB devices is that it is not ncessaire to have a sound card. Ideal for mounting a small MIDI setup.

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 ...

I was looking for a midi interface / usb to connect my laptop numrique my keyboard (Korg SP-200).
The objective silent keyboard to play what I know laboriously mouse in various software.
Config with a centrino 1.3 GHz, 512MB RAM, I have not ngligeable latency. In order not to "load" my Systm, I cut the audio output of PC and plays directly into the table the sound of my piano, while my pc crit notes played ... I have the ear of time rel and WRITING too.
Achieved.
I should acqurir audionumrique card which should allow me to rduire latency output, I will prciser the gain obtained by l.

UTILIZATION

Trs stable drivers, apparently not being updated for quite some time now ... (See M-Audio website ...).
Installing a bit surprising, it must be patient and not s'tonner when XP tells you three times in a row he has just DTECT new peripherals (it installs a SERIES of three drivers ...).
I use freeware with Mao, a walk nickel.
No "saturation" MIDI for my use.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 1 week.
He did what I asked in the performance limits of my Systm so I can not blame him!
This is the 1st interface midi / usb I have.
Report quality / price, I think we can hardly do better ...
I would do without this choice hsiter.

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.

I was looking for a USB MIDI interface for my POWERBOOK4 12''...
One in and one OUT.
I use it mostly with my Pure data and interface Num / Ana / midi
to control my hardware synth live or on audio device.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable, no problems so far.
I use it mainly with Pure Data.
Not a problem of saturation of the Midi interface!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months
I have not tried other interfaces before buying it, it does not have many competitors in CME and edirol I think.
The specifics I like most sound:

simple, plug and play, something I like animals but led that indicates the midi in and out is prtic, it would in a jacket pocket.

Minimum:

The length of twelve o'clock in and out far too long ... but hey it's my personal opinion.

Value for money very good!
I would do is choosing without hesitation!

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.

Needing a midi interface for (relatively) little CHRE for one instrument (drums yamaha dtxIII special), I orient my choice to midisport.
config: dtxIII, protools 7.1.1LE with mbox1 on macbook core 2GHz 2GB 2duo.

UTILIZATION

The driver is already installed on Mac OS Tiger, so no need the installation CD.

OVERALL OPINION

I think for someone who has an instrument, or even use MIDI CONTROLLER is the perfect interface, the use is very simple and there is no need forcment notice, provided that the mixing software derrire follow, the price is respectable for what it is (I bought about 30 euros). With exprience, if I still need only one instrument at the same time, I think I would do this choice, but any fawn, in such MODEL (from srieux a manufacturer), while the product looks like, only then a matter of price.
