5 out of 5 stars so easy to use   March 5, 2004

I have been using this interface with both a Mac and a PC and it works well with both. Great product!

This is a good adapter for home use. Having been a roadie, I can pretty confidently say the Midisport Uno's build quality isn't roadworthy -- the attached MIDI cables are about as thin as the RCA cables that come with most home audio equipment, nowhere near as tough as patch cords for a stage rig. But the average home user, who's not plugging and unplugging in a hurry and stepping on the equipment and such, should have no worries. I have one, and it works fine.

A note about appearance: My Uno's body (the oval part, smaller than an average computer mouse) is a deep translucent blue, rather than the opaque color in the current photo here on Amazon. Also, the cables are all one color, black, though the IN and OUT plugs are clearly labeled in molded lettering. There are three green LEDs: one that lights up when the computer recognizes the adapter, one for MIDI in signals, and one for MIDI out -- handy for troubleshooting.

I bought the Uno to connect my Roland alphaJuno-2 to my PowerBook and play with GarageBand. I took it out of the packaging (a rare treat: a molded clamshell-type plastic package that isn't heat-sealed, so it doesn't have to be cut to shreds to open) and hooked it up, and nothing happened. I initially thought that Mac OS X would recognize it automatically, so it took me a few minutes to realize I needed to install the driver software. Although there are drivers on the included CD-ROM, I downloaded the latest version from the manufacturer's web site, installed, and the Uno instantly lit up and GarageBand informed me (because I already had the Roland powered up) that a MIDI device was now connected. It's worked flawlessly since.

Simple to use; no extra cables to attach -- I think this is the perfect USB MIDI adapter for GarageBand users or anyone else connecting one MIDI keyboard to a computer at home.

I have a 12" mac powerbook running os 10.3 panther, and a kurzweil midi keyboard. After I installed the driver from m-audio the keyboard was recognized by GarageBand (iLife '04) and I was recording midi on my computer within minutes!

I'm using a laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo D 8830, P4 3.06 GHz) and naturally it doesn't have a MIDI-port. However, I wanted to be able to play music with my external Casio keyboard and record it using the Propellerhead's Reason 2.0 software, so I bought this cute little thing.

I had read some reviews of it and most of them were very positive, but some people had had some very annoying latency, for which some of them accused the drivers or the device itself. I decided to go for it anyway, and indeed I haven't had any problems at all. The latency is practically zero so I can put my half-done song playing and record new melodies in it by playing the keyboard in real time. Also when I play chords and in general many notes at once with both hands, the simultaneously pressed notes come out at the same time and sound like they are supposed to.

All in all, if you're looking for a simple way to play melodies etc. with your external MIDI keyboard, this little device is definitely worth buying.


5 out of 5 stars Works exactly as advertised.   August 7, 2003

I hooked this interface up to my laptop and my Clavinova keyboard, installed the driver and the included Cakewalk software on my laptop, and was playing music right away.

How much simpler could it be?
