Overview
Uno provides one MIDI input port and one MIDI output port, each supporting 16 MIDI channels. MIDI is the acronym for Musical Instrument Digital
Interface and is the protocol used by MIDI keyboards and devices (devices that record and play back the MIDI information, such as computer or
hardware sequencers)to communicate with each other.
Windows XP & Mac OS X

Setting Up Your MIDI Studio
A typical MIDI system setup might include your Uno, a computer, MIDI sequencing software, a MIDI controller keyboard and, perhaps, a MIDI-
compatible sound module. This type of setup can be constructed as follows:
1. Connect Uno via the USB cable to the computer’s USB port connector.
2. Connect the “To MIDI out” cable from Uno to the MIDI out jack of your controller keyboard.
3. Connect the other cable, labeled “To MIDI in,” to the MIDI in jack of your sound module.
In the set-up below, Uno is being used as a MIDI interface, inputting and outputting MIDI data between the controller keyboard, the sound module
(from which sound will be produced) and the computer running its application software.
About the MIDI In Port
The MIDI in port is used to connect a standard MIDI device to your computer, via the USB port. Data received from this device will be transmitted
via the UNO to the computer.
About the MIDI Out Port
Connecting a MIDI device to the Uno’s MIDI out port allows data to be sent from the computer to that MIDI device. Make sure the Uno is selected
as the default MIDI output device in your MIDI application software.
• Important note: The Uno is not a MIDI THRU device and as such, MIDI data received at the Uno’s MIDI in port can never be sent directly to
the Uno’s MIDI out plug. However, data received at the MIDI in can be transmitted from the computer to the MIDI out of the Uno to achieve
this.
•
Caution: Electrostatic discharges, electrical fast transients and conducted RF interference may cause the unit to malfunction. In such cases,
unplug the unit for a moment and then plug it in again to restore normal operation.
