Great little gadget

by Mark from Princeton NJ

Music Background: Piano man

Got this based on advice of my Sweetwater Sales Engineer. Very nice unit, works great with my Yamaha controller. Be sure to follow the detailed instructions in the manual on setting background process... read more [+]ing priority in Windows ... I got clipped notes until I made this change. After that, no problems (and no latency issues, at least in my setup). One key feature: it has both an "advanced driver" mode (you must install the driver) and a "driverless" mode. In the driverless mode, the operating system's built-in drivers are used. This worked for me with both Windows XP and Linux (Ubuntu 6.06). It was nice to find something that was plug-and-play in Linux! I was recording into Rosegarden in minutes. close [-]

If you like unreasonable latency with your MIDI, buy the UM-1EX!

Music Background: Novice beat production

Dont be fooled by its robust appearance, the UM-1EX is simply pathetic. For one thing [it dosn't work for SONY ACID PRO 5 or 6, REASON, or GARAGEBAND]. Secondly
exessive latency is a major issue ... read more [+]when using CUBASE SE SX SX3 and INUENDO. I strongly recomend M-AUDIO's MIDISPORT 1x1. close [-]
