Roland UM-ONE Mk2 USB Midi Interface

Unlike many of those cheap midi leads you often see on other sites, these midi cables made by Roland just simply work. I tested these in Windows 7 Ultimate, and Windows 10 Pro, and they worked a bit better in Win7 - seemed more stable and no loss of notes. I connected a near 20 year-old Yamaha AN1X, loaded Yamaha's ageing editor and it worked first time. I was able to perform real-time changes to the AN1X, as well as upload many custom sounds found on the internet. The playing of notes, via the editor, was instant and I didn't notice any lag at all. The cable connects to any USB port, USB 2.0 or 3.0, but I would stick to 2.0 for 100% compatibility. Overall, a great product at a great price.

I have a very old midi keyboard from the early 21st century: the Evolution MK-149. I had low expectations that it would work on a modern PC and iPad Pro, but this USB-MDI adaptor works great for both iPad Pro (plugging in via my Dell hub monitor) and plugged directly into a Windows 11 PC. I had to use the tiny switch for it to work on the iPad, but I was really impressed that it saved my old keyboard from the dumpster. The build quality felt lower than the price point would suggest, but I like the design, particularly the arrows for the outbound and inbound MIDI plugs.

This cable, although expensive, has saved a more expensive roland drumkit. The USB output on my TD17KV had randomly started causing the drumkit to freeze when connected to my PC and the only solution I could find online was using a MIDI to USB cable instead which has totally solved the issue. The cable was quite expensive, but I felt like buying a cheaper cable which would be less durable would just result in having to buy a replacement down the line. The build quality on this feels solid and there is no latency at all which was obviously essential. Definitely recommend spending a little extra for that added durability!

What can I say does.what it says on the box. Connects my old Roland digital piano to my Win 11 pc. automatically detected by windows and drivers downloaded via windows update. No perceived latency issues when using vst's and midi playback on piano flawless.

I almost gave up on this product because I thought it would only work on newer, modern keyboards until I decided to read the manual on my old yamaha psr-340 about midi properties and after some tweaking and changing the mode from 'song' to 'style', it actually worked and responded to my windows 7 and 10 laptops. I have used this cable to record music and midi files on sequel and cubase and used the tab mode to connect it to my samung galaxy S7 phone. This cable has also allowed me to use my keyboard as a controller to play sounds from VST instruments like Halion in Sequel and Cubase. Please be aware that some software may have high latency which may cause lagging in playing notes. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CABLE! Just use this cable with a good reliable software and there shouldn't be any issues.

If your in the market for a midi solution , this is the one you want , I use a Roalnd E-28, setup was quick and simple (follow instructions included) I have used many other midi cables in the past, I must say the UM-One MK2 is definitely the best midi cable I have ever bought. PROS : Works with every DAW I tried, Absolutely zero input Lag, Works with iPad too. The best sound quality of any midi system I have ever tried , no pops no crackles. Cons : None Awesome product 5 stars , I would have given it 10.

JUST BUY IT - IT JUST WORKS PERFECTLY!!! - Cannot praise this product enough! - had major headaches trying to cut costs through buying other cheap 'generic' interfaces - NO GO! - nothing but problems - with sticking notes - having to constantly edited notes cos they weren't' recorded as I played them - pitch bend / mod wheel just went beserk ! etc etc - Bit the bullet and bought this - Brilliant move! Yeh I know it costs quite a lot more than the cheap stuff- but the reason for that is the fact that IT JUST WORKS PERFECTLY - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! Don't keep going through midi headaches - just buy it - you will not regret it....those niggling hassles will disappear and you can get cracking on with creating your musical masterpieces!!! x x x

Hello, I have not had time to deal with this due to a busy schedule. The equipment does not work. I bought it as I was up against a deadline and it seemed to offer a speedy solution. I took a punt, waited for the delivery and set about the work. Highly disappointed as I could not use the connector. One red light only which meant that data was read one way only. Can you please adviese? Thanks, Huw

Fonctionne parfaitement avec mon vieux piano numérique de 1992, de la marque Roland également. Contrairement à certains câbles sans marque et moins chers, celui-ci est isolé électriquement conformément aux spécifications de la norme MIDI (créée entre autres par Roland) et ne risque donc pas de provoquer des interférences ou d'endommager votre équipement. Le raccordement est très simple, la prise MIDI (IN/OUT) à laquelle la fiche doit être branchée est inscrite dessus. La longueur totale du câble est de 2m ce qui devrait convenir à la plupart des usages. De plus, sous Windows et MacOS, l'interface du câble est utilisable par plusieurs logiciels simultanément (ce qui n'est pas le cas de la plupart des périphériques MIDI), à condition d'utiliser le mode COMP (sélectionnable avec l'interrupteur sur le côté du boitier) et d'installer le pilote spécifique (ce processus est automatique sous Windows 10 et 11). En mode TAB, l'interface est compatible avec l'ensemble des appareils (ordinateurs, tablettes etc.) et aucun pilote n'est requis. En revanche, elle n'est plus utilisable par plusieurs logiciels simultanément.

It works as supposed to

What can I say, Quality product, and they do exactly what they are meant to do, perfectly.

Necesitaba un interfaz MIDI que fuera compatible con Mojave para conectar mi teclado. Mi anterior interface, de una marca conocida también, dejo de fabricarse, y el fabricante a su vez dejo de dar soporte al mismo, de forma que con las ultimas actualizaciones de Mac OSX, (desde Sierra) no funcionaba. Me decidí por el Roland por ser una marca prestigiosa, y por un comentario de otro usuario donde afirmaba estar muy contento con el funcionando bajo Mojave. Lo compre de productos reacondicionados, por ahorrar unos euros (mi experiencia con los productos reacondicionados ha sido mixta, he conseguido muy buenos ahorros, pero a su vez me ha tocado devolver algunos por estar deteriorados o faltar alguna pieza. Esta vez ha salido cara y todo estaba perfecto) Una vez instalados los drivers, hay que. poner un microinterruptor que tiene en el lateral en la posición "COMP" y una vez enchufado (midi in con midi out y viceversa) todo ha funcionado a la primera, tanto en garaje band, como en syntesia como en logic X. Para el uso que le doy, no detecto latencia alguna. EL cable, eso si, es bastante mas corto que su predecesor, y apenas me sobran 25 cm, frente al mas de un metro que me sobraba del otro, un aspecto a considerar si tu teclado esta alejado del ordenador (al menos necesitaras una extension de cable usb o midi). Por lo demás, buen aspecto, y presumiblemente buena calidad, espero que sigan desarrollando los drives necesarios.
