Really Works!

Great product. First I bought a Chinese usb midi adapter to connect my BOSS GT 8 Pedalboard to the computer, I tried every trick or software available ( GT-pro editor, GT8 Floorboard, Geeboss) ) And even tried different Operating Systems. I thought my Pedalboard was damaged! Then I decided to invest more than 8 bucks on a good usb- midi cable from a well known brand..and it was flawless.. my Pedalboard works. The operating system is not on blame and I'm happy. Sometimes spending money on cheap hardware is costly.!

This cable works with Roland Atelier AT 80 S organ with MuseScore on Windows 10

I wanted to be able to play on my Roland Atelier AT 80 S organ and have the keystrokes recorded a computer software such as MuseScore. This is the cable that would allow me to send my keystrokes from the MIDI port of the organ to the USB port of my Windows 10 computer with the MuseScore running. That is MuseScore would automatically transcribing whatever I play on the organ. I was shocked at how easy the Roland MIDI cable was installed. The cable completely plug-and-play with no driver disk required Windows 10 simple automatically find the correct driver by itself. I started the already installed MuseScore. After a few setting changes in MuseScore, my keystrokes were appearing in on the computer screen. This is the set up that makes composing music very easily. Best of all MuseScore is a freeware. This cable makes it all possible.

works with macbook pro and yamaha dgx-500

First of all, I only paid $22 for this adaptor a couple of days ago, but the supplier (Streamline Audio Video) appears to have run out. List price is a little steep. Some basic info: o The overall length is about 6 feet five inches. o The in/out midi cables are clearly marked, as in "connect to midi in" and "connect to midi out". Other cables are confusing because they consider themselves to be a midi device. I think of this cable as more of an adaptor, and so the non-ambiguity of the labeling is much appreciated. o The software comes on a CD and it up to date as of this writing (1/2/13). It is version 1.0.0. I checked the download site for updates, and 1.0.0 is the latest. ---- I used the CD to load the driver, rebooted the mac, and hooked the cable up. It worked first time. I tested it with the "Audio MIDI Setup" app which is in the "Utilities" folder under Applications on the mac. Make sure you select the MIDI window and expand the window in case the new device shows up off the main page (it happened to me). Try testing both channels by selecting the UM-ONE device, clicking on "Test Setup", and then clicking on the UP/DOWN arrows. You should hear the synthesizer in your piano make some noise when you send to it, and you should observe the arrows flash on the mac when you send from the piano keyboard . After that, I used "MIDI Monitor" (free from [...]) to verify that the interface was sending data from the yamaha DGX-500. Then I started using it with GarageBand 09 and everything worked fine. If you carefully read the reviews for other products of this type, as I did, you will find a large range of experience, both good and bad. I was scared off enough from all the other alternatives to try the Roland device, based on their reputation for quality gear. I also have a MIDI-Sport 2x2 from M-Audio, and I wasted a lot of time trying to get it to work with the DGX-500. The problem turned out to be insufficient USB power - i.e., after hooking up the midi-sport to a powered USB hub, it finally started to send from the piano (also make sure you pull the latest drivers). I never could get it to send from the mac to the piano, however. I think some of the problems with other devices may be due to how much power they draw from the USB bus. If you can't get yours to work, try a powered hub. I didn't want to deal with a powered hub, which is why I purchased the UM-ONE, and I'm glad I did.

I Wish I Had Bought This Years Ago!

All this time I thought my Studiologic 88 key weighted MIDI controller was a piece of junk. When playing it into my DAW, it would randomly miss notes or controller changes and would have this annoying latency. When upgrading my bedroom studio with a new USB audio interface, I pulled the M-Audio Delta 192 PCI card from my PC which was also my MIDI interface. After reading reviews, I thought I'd spend the extra and get this one. Suddenly, my Studiologic MIDI controller was wonderful (Well, relatively speaking. I'm spoiled with a Yamaha C3 grand piano in the next room). No perceptible latency and no missed notes or controller changes while playing into Cubase. I wish I had bought this years ago.

This works as like it should

2018.07.09 Roland Midi Cable UM-ONE-MK2 ... This works as like it should. At first, I bought a cheaper no-name Chinese one and it did not work at all. This one comes with the appropriate drivers to do what it needs to do. Very happy with the response time between Win7 computer and Boss GT8.

Problem Solver!

I've been having a big issue with "stuck notes", missing notes, and even junk notes (notes I didn't even play). I've been using the MIDI adapter on my audio interface -- a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4, so I assumed it was a good MIDI adapter. Keyboard controller is an old but excellent Kurzweil MIDIBoard, and computer is a fast MSI laptop. I've had this problem with my DAW (Reaper) and also directly within instrument software, so I knew it wasn't Reaper. The computer is not overloaded in any way, and I didn't have another controller handy to try. I suspected possibly that pushing audio through the Focusrite at the same time trying to use MIDI might cause some data issues. So the easiest/cheapest thing was to try another MIDI adapter. Problem solved. I looked at several others in Amazon that were slightly cheaper, and ended up choosing this one as some of the others had reviews that pointed to some issues. Since I started using this adapter instead of the one in my audio interface I have not had one stuck note, missed note, or wrong note (except those that I played myself). The only aspect of this adapter that I didn't care for was the fact that the MIDI cables are hard wired to the adapter. Between the USB cable (which is also permanently attached) and the attached MIDI cables, the unit was plenty long enough for me. But if you need an extra long reach, you'll need to get MIDI gender changers and then you can extend with a regular MIDI cable. Also since everything is attached, if one cable goes bad (MIDI in, out or USB) then you've got to replace the whole unit. Also, the actual adapter part of the unit is just a little in-line box, so you probably won't be placing it on your desk to look at the status lights. I would say this device was designed for the consumer who doesn't have any MIDI cables of any sort, and just wants a one-stop plug & play unit, which is exactly what this unit is. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could for the minor hardware issues, but since I have to choose 4 or 5, I'll go with 5 because it seems to fit the needs of the intended audience. If I needed another MIDI adapter, I would purchase this one again instead of trying to save a few dollars on the no-name brands.

All in all, you get what you pay for, Five stars for Roland!

I have an old Korg X3 keyboard/workstation (circa mid 90's) that I wanted to use as a MIDI controller in the free Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) LMMS and more recently FL Studio12. I've found many MIDI/USB cables at half or even a third of the price as this set. The reviews on those items were a bit sketchy, so I went with a name brand I'm familiar with. I remember Roland from back in the early 80's and when I think Synthesis and MIDI, I think of Roland. These cables didn't disappoint. I installed the drivers from the included CD and my old Korg worked! There was some latency(delay) issues between hitting a note on my Korg and LMMS/FL Studio playing it. This was down to me using the Realtek(RealKrap) onboard sound, NOT the cables (my old X-Fi Fatal1ty sound card had died). I have since installed a Soundblaster AE-5 soundcard and the cables work flawlessly. If you are using a DAW, I would imagine you are already using a dedicated sound card. So there shouldn't any issues. But, I would recommend a dedicated sound card if you don't have one. There are many sound cards out there going for around $50 and up. If you are relying on on-board sound, don't blame the cables. All in all, you get what you pay for, Five stars for Roland! Along with the MIDI cables you get: A 27 page install manual in English. (This is not some 12 language manual with a few pages for each) CD Rom with drivers The cables are about 78-79 inches long The item is made in China, but what isn't nowadays. I'm sure Roland's manufacturing specs are much higher than the generic counterparts. I hope you find this review helpful. :)

Really like that it just worked

I have a Yamaha WX5 wind controller, and wanted a simple connection to play sounds from my iPad. Tried this MIDI connector with the Apple USB3 to lightning camera adapter (because it has a port to connect a charging cable and avoids the need for a powered USB hub). Plugged it into my MIDI keyboard, and immediately played sounds from the 2 differnt synth apps on my iPad. Connected the WX5, and that worked first try too. I was just after a simple portable rig for practice, and this fills that requirement for me.

Works on the Boss GT-8 guitar effects pedal

I bought this so I could back up a couple of hundred custom guitar effects that I created on the Roland Boss GT-8 guitar effects pedal and it worked out of the box. I loaded the supplied cd, ran setup, loaded the software for the Boss GT-8 and it ran on the first try. I haven’t plugged a MIDI device (like a piano) into it yet but I expect that to work as well. I should mention that the Boss GT-8 is no longer supported so think twice before buying any Boss pedals. I bought mine used and cheap and got the GT-8 software from a 3rd party site I found on YouTube.

Works Perfectly on Windows 10 with Windows Update Drivers

Works with Strymon BigSky pedal and Strymon Library software on Windows 10, 32/64 bit.. Plug Roland Midi "In"plug to Bigsky midi out socket, and Roland "out' plug to BigSky midi in socket. Windows 10 showed an exception in the Device Manager for the UM-One though it did not show that device name. Right click and click on update drivers > let windows find a driver online. And viola, it shows clean in Windows Device Manager as two UM-One software devices, one Midi in and one Midi out I imagine. Quick delivery works perfectly, 5 stars.
