USB Uno 1X1 USB Midi Interface Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 chances are it will NOT work. The company is still in the process of developing drivers that work and it is completely hit or miss (MOSTLY MISS!)
The Uno was developed for XP and works for that system.
Beware - check out the forum and judge for yourself.
According to the M-Audio website, my uno should just connect to my Vista 64 bit OS without ANY needed driver.
Needless to say it DID NOT WORK. Even trying 32 bit drivers did not work. Completely frustrating. NOT RECOMMENDED. UPDATE:
I ordered a generic "USB MIDI Cable Converter" PC for Windows Vista by HDE from Amazon at 1/10 the price! According to several reviewers it works for Vista 32 and 64 bit! It worked for me on a Vista 64 bit system out of the box without a problem. I am using Band in the Box 2004. Now why can't M-Audio do the same?

USB MIDI Cable Converter PC to Music Keyboar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is, by far, the cheapest option right now for a comparable length USB MIDI interface cable: a measly $6. For those who want a straight answer: yes, it works. For me. If yours doesn't, HDE has a great return policy.
PROS:
- Very easy setup, driver installs automatically within seconds
- Windows XP, Vista 32 and 64-bit compatible
- Very cheap, while offering an authentic USB MIDI interface
CONS:
- Cord is a little too short for me--about 5 feet
- High latency. Latency is the time it takes for input from your keyboard to reach your computer, and in my experience the latency for this interface is really high--around a quarter to three quarters of a second. This makes it very hard to play live accompaniment to background music you've created. However, if you disable MIDI playback in your sequencing program and just listen to the notes as they're played on your keyboard, you can shift all of the notes in your program after you've finished and it works just fine. It's a couple extra steps per song, or a couple dozen more dollars for a faster cord :3
- Those lights on the converter are annoying!
NOTES
- When setting up, if you are getting no sound, try switching the MIDI IN/OUT ports on your input device. On Yamaha products, "MIDI IN" goes into the keyboard's "MIDI OUT" port, etc. so you can't just match them up!
