All user reviews for the M-Audio Midisport Uno

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.

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?

I did not have MIDI output because it is a laptop, so I had a MIDI / USB, the interface is small and compact seemed best suited.

- For what purpose?

I wanted to use it to connect my synth essentielment which allows me a different approach to creating a sequencer

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?

I have an Acer Aspire 3610 laptop with Intel Celerom M, 1.5 GHz and 504 MB of ram.

- Which instruments or the systems do you use? ...

For now I only use it with my MicroKorg.

UTILIZATION

- The drivers are stable?

Here is the major weakness of the midi interface, installation and start-up are truly catastrophic. I do not know where it comes in a week but none of my software could not detect the USB MIDI interface and yet I well désintallée / relocated 20 times (not an exaggeration). Everyone spoke of three successive instalations I had only two at a time.
But I think the solution comes from that fact, one night after having retried installing the Uno I am overwhelmed and I gave up by leaving it connected, suddenly 20/30 minutes later my computer rebooted for no apparent reason and return to Windows, the PC asked me to accept gentiles the famous third instalation interface midi / usb. Of course I did it and after this one, the interface worked and was well detected by my software.
So advice on this point, be very patient and after BOTH INSTALTIONS leave quietly plugged the beast and wait at least 30 minutes, if it nothing happens you can start to panic sail

- Are they often updated?

I never started playing the drivers for now ...

- What software do you use most often?

I use Cubase, Reason and Ableton Live.

- Do you ever happen to saturate the MIDI interface and if so, under what circumstances?

Besides the big problem of instalation it does not come love me more ... Finally, if the notes remain locked DEFOIS .. but that you just power cycle the synth There's nothing to cry ..

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

I think it will make about four months that I use.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

The best: easy to use and can really bulky

Minimum: instalation annoying to the point of wanting to hang himself. I think a lot of people who do not find the solution to the bug on the instalation drop interface.

- How would you rate the quality / price?

The value for money is correct, for it was more expensive but can be more seriously I just though of this one.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Not for instalation because I really had the chance to understand the trick .. veiled

If you want information on it, made me know

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

Inerface twelve o'clock simple. Purchased in order to connect my pc to my ToneLab SE. A MIDI IN and MIDI OUT, the bare necessities.

UTILIZATION

Personally I have had no problems with this interface, very easy to use! But I did not use any apareils noon. Used software for ToneLab is, it works without problems.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few months. I chose it because I tried a cheap midi interface which I could control my ToneLab. This interface is very economical and, in my opinion, reliable. I do not understand the reviews that say nothing works, I do not know how they managed! Yes I would do with the experience that choice without hesitation!

I was looking for something to drive my ToneLab SE AX100 and my future . With the Uno, I found what I needed for less.
My config: Laptop a Tosh Satellite M70-204 (Centrino 1.73 GHz, 1 GB RAM) running XP SP2.

UTILIZATION

A curious note: after install kit via CDROM, XP discovers the Uno and asked to install the driver! Which act and reboot.

Launch Tonelab Sound Editor: interface immediately recognized and operational. No crash to mourn, the drivers seem quite stable (those of the CDROM, I have not yet updated).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks several hours a day (long live the holidays). What a joy to load the patches downloaded over the net and make its settings without being on all fours.

In short, to advise people looking for a midi interface simple and inexpensive.

Without hesitation, I would do this choice.

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!
