In other words, you need (a) a firmware file, and (b) a program for loading the firmware. The Midisport Uno requires firmware to be loaded to the device before it will do anything. If your device does not auto-magically work out of the box, setting this device up for Linux is not that tricky.
The advantage to the using a Midisport is that you don't need a special sound card for midi devices, and can connect them to any computer that has a free usb input. A while back, I didn't have a sound card that had midi ports, so I just purchased a Midisport Uno instead. Then you can use a midi sequencer like Rosegarden to record and edit music scores. The Midisport Uno is a usb-based cable that connects a midi controller (like a synthesizer) to a usb port on your computer.

Usually the installation is an act of god if you can figure out how to get it installed.Setting up Midisport Uno, Midisport 1x1, or Midisport 2x2, USB-2-Midi For some reason, Midiman products and Windows XP don't seem to agree. The installation CD was of little or no help for Windows XP users, and the small manual that came with it didn't even refer to Windows XP. The construction and quality is top notch. It was all very bizarre and I was proud of myself, after 2 hours, that I got the installation correct.

Installing the drivers under Windows XP was a very big pain. Also, the unit supports two midi in/outs and midi thru. It has a very robust, light lime green midi box which will look cool around anyone's computer. Then it has lights that flash to tell you that your transmitting midi information from your keyboard. It has a slow pulsing light to tell you that its configured for USB correctly. I need midi inputs that were USB powered, because my sound card ( Echo Mona) had no midi inputs.
I paid $71 including tax at Guitar Center. Great midi product, which is usually the case with M-Audio, one of the leading midi device companies out there. That just shows how durable and lasting the technical design of this simple unit is. My version is fairly old (still says Midiman), but the newer devices are nearly identical, they just have a different color design. Overall, the Midisport 2x2 is a simple device that does it's job, and has lasted me for many, many years. There is a midi thru switch on the device that, if accidentally pressed, will disable some of the midi data transfer to the computer. There is no lag or latency that needs to be compensated, and the lights on the Midisport easily let me know when it's sending and receiving data. With Windows 7 and Vista, the drivers may be easier to install than with my Windows XP system.įunctionally, I've had no problems or glitches with this midi interface. Initially, I thought it was repeating itself (and thus something was wrong) and I aborted the second installation. Also, installing the drivers can be confusing, because there are two sets of drivers that need to load when you plug the Midisport 2x2 into the computer. It sits on the floor under my desk, and I never need to touch any controls on it.įor the most part, the device does is not plug and play, as it usually requires downloading the correct drivers from M-Audio's driver website. For my studio, I simply need one midi input from my larger keyboard midi controller, and this small box fits the bill perfectly. It is one of the smallest box-style midi interfaces available, and is suitable for most basic midi needs, where only one or two midi devices are being used. The M-Audio (Formerly Midiman) Midisport 2x2 is a usb-midi interface with two sets of midi inputs and midi outputs.
