M-Audio MIDISport UNO 1x1 User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Uno. The Uno is a 1x1 MIDI interface for
USB-equipped PC and Macintosh computers and was designed and
manufactured by Midiman, a trusted name in MIDI interfaces for over a
decade. Uno’s high speed Universal Serial Bus connection assures reliable
and speedy transfer of MIDI data to and from the computer.

The Uno is self-powered and can be conveniently attached to your
computer’s USB port, without the need for tools or computer disassembly.
There’s no need for additional cables—the Uno comes with integral USB
and MIDI cables as part of it’s sturdy construction.

Follow the installation instructions in this manual and you will be up and
running in no time. Expansion also is easy—for additional MIDI ports, just
install more Uno’s!

2. USB LED—when pulsing, indicates that the Uno is powered and functioning.

3. MIDI-In and MIDI-Out LEDs—indicate MIDI input or output activity.

4. MIDI-Out cable & connector—sends MIDI signal, from computer, to
receiving device.

5. MIDI-In cable & connector—receives MIDI signal from sending device, for
output to computer via USB.

Overview

The Uno provides one MIDI input port and one MIDI output port, with
each MIDI port supporting 16 MIDI channels. MIDI is the acronym for
Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is the protocol used when MIDI
keyboards and devices (devices that record and playback the MIDI
information, such as computer or hardware sequencers) communicate with
each other.

On a PC: You must be running Windows 98, or higher, to properly use the
Uno. Also, either your motherboard must support USB . If it does not, you
will need to install a PCI-to-USB host adapter to provide the USB ports. It is
possible for a motherboard to support USB and yet not have the physical
port connectors installed. A simple USB back panel extender can be
purchased at a computer supply store and easily installed to provide USB
port connectors.

On an Apple Computer: Your computer must support USB and have physical
ports present. Standard iMac’s or G3/G4’s with USB ports are adequate.

IMPORTANT (For Apple users): You MUST use software that
supports OMS, and have OMS properly installed,in order to use
the Uno. An OMS MIDI driver is provided for Mac OS 8.6
through 9.x, but is not required for OS X.

Guide to Getting Started

Here is an outline of the steps needed to begin using your Uno on either a
Mac or a PC:

1. Attach the Uno to your computer (see "Hardware Installation").

2. Install the Driver (see "Software Installation").

3. Hook your keyboard and sound module to the Uno (see "Setting Up Your
MIDI Studio").

4. Configure the Uno in your application program (see "Using the Uno in your
Application Software").

USB MIDI Interface

Hardware Installation

Installing your Uno involves simply attaching it to your USB port using
the standard USB cable included on the Uno. We recommend that you
power down (turn off) your computer before connecting the Uno, during
the first installation.

Find a good spot around your computer station to place the Uno. The USB
port on your computer is a small (approx. 1/8" x 3/8") rectangular connector
and is often found in a group of two. Take the end of the USB cable and plug
it into the USB port on the back of your computer. Next, power up your
computer and proceed to the next section, "Software Installation."

Software Installation

A software driver is a special, dedicated program that makes a MIDI
interface accessible to an application. On the included driver disk, Midiman
supplies the drivers that enable you to use the Uno with Windows, Mac OS

8.6 through 9.x, or Mac OS X (Opcodes OMS drivers, for Mac users). All
Uno drivers are supplied on the included dual-formatted disk.

On your driver disk there is a "Readme" file that gives step by step
instructions on how to install the driver software. Locate the file entitled
"#installMac", for Mac users, or "#install.txt”, for PC users. Double click on
the file name to open it. Carefully follow the instructions given to properly
install your driver software.

Setting Up Your MIDI Studio

A typical MIDI system setup would include your Uno, a computer, MIDI
sequencing software, a MIDI controller keyboard and, perhaps, a MIDI
compatible sound module. This type of set-up can be constructed as follows:

1. Connect the Uno, via the USB cable, to the computer’s USB port connector.

2. With a MIDI cable, connect the MIDI Out of a controller keyboard to the
MIDI In of the Uno.

3. With a second MIDI cable, connect the MIDI Out of the Uno to the MID I In
of a sound module. (This can also be your MIDI controller keyboard if it has
the capability to serve as a sound module).

In the set-up below, the 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 and its application software.

Using the Uno in your Application Software

In order to utilize the Uno, once it’s driver has been installed, you will need
to configure your MIDI application software . The manner in which this is
done varies between applications, so it is possible only to cover basics here.

Generally with both the Mac and PC, most MIDI applications have a MIDI
Port configuration or settings dialog box, titled something like "MIDI
Devices" or "MIDI Setup." It is within this dialog box that you will need
toselect or enable your MIDI input and output devices. If the Uno drivers
are properly installed, the port selections in the box should be titled, in the
input column, “Uno In-A” (or “Port 1”, on a Mac) and, in the output
column, “Uno Out-A” (“Port 1”, on Mac). “In-A” and “Out-A” (or input
and output “Port 1”) correspond to the physical input and output of your
Uno—make sure that youhighlight or check those items, if they are not
already. The output port that you select for a specific MIDI track within
your sequence will output MIDI information to the keyboard or sound
module attached to that port.
