M-Audio USB MIDISPORT Uno User Guide English • 2
Overview
MIDI is the acronym for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface” and is the protocol used by MIDI keyboards and other devices (sound modules, sequencing
software, virtual instruments, etc.) to communicate with each other. Uno provides your computer with one MIDI input and one MIDI output port, each
supporting 16 MIDI channels.
Windows XP & Mac OS X Installation
If you are using Windows XP or Mac OS X, simply plug in your Uno to the computer’s USB port and you’re ready to go. Since Uno is class-compliant*,
it will work without requiring any additional drivers.
Installation for Advanced Windows XP Users
While Uno is class-compliant*, advanced Windows XP users who intend to use the Uno interface with more than one application at the same time (i.e.,
“multi-client” operation), plan to use long SysEx (system exclusive) commands or are using other class compliant USB devices with audio capabilities
simultaneously should install the special M-Audio drivers for optimal performance. These drivers can be installed by doing the following:
