Roland UM-One MkII

It does the thing

This thing still works, and does what it suppose to!

Gets the job done well

I got this cable to hook my foot midi controller to my pc and have the ability to control some plugins on my DAW on the fly. It is very straightforward to hook up, once you installed the drivers, my DAW immediately identified the cable as a MIDI input. After that, all that was left to do was some configuring on which MIDI messages to send and what to do with them on the plugin side.

Latency is pretty good as well.

Connecting Digital Piano to IPad - Problem Solved

I used this to connect my Korg D1 to Auria Pro on my Ipad Pro. It did the job without any issues.

Works for Korg SP-250

This is an expensive bit of kit especially just being a cable but I wanted to make sure I had the best chance of success connecting my old Korg SP-250 to my iMac and Garageband/Logic Pro. Once the cable is 'installed' I had no issues connecting it to the computer and all the midi instruments worked fine. My only gripe is that the cable could have been longer or, Roland could have offered multipel cable lengths as options. Currently, I would need about a 4 metre cable so for now, I have to move the piano to the computer...!

Great Midi Cable, works fine

Great product

Before buying the MkII I wrecked my head with cheap USB to Midi adapters, that did not properly support SysEx.

I am using the UM-One for more than a year now, both on Windows and OSx, and am very happy with it.

Glad I found this

Turned my Kawai ES-110 into a midi keyboard. Now I have a great feeling midi keyboard. The Roland UM-One MkII saved me some money. Fantastic.

Performing as expected

No problems, just install and play away.

Best Midi Cable

I am new to midi and I looked easy to use interface. A friend of mine told me that UM-ONE mk2 from Roland is a compact 16-channel MIDI interface and do the job perfectly. Also It provides a single MIDI output and a single MIDI output connector on one side, and a USB cable on the other with a Type A USB connector.

I bought this cable to connect my midi foot controler Behringer FCB 1010. It is great that it i s compatible with Mac and PC computers. For me this is a super compact interface - affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use.

Does its job and does it well.

I've tried a couple of these MIDI to USB interfaces in the past when the technology wasn't the most advanced, but I trust the Roland name and I needed this for my rig, so I gave it a shot.

I was pleasantly surprised at how low the latency truly is, and I didn't twist a single knob or click a single mouse to dial it in. It's frankly unnoticeable, and I've used it on a number of different MIDI instruments and found the performance to be quite consistent between all of them. I've also had no problems whatsoever utilizing it with my DAWs.

The only potential turnoff here is the pricetag, but let's be honest, you're paying for the Mercedes-Benz of simple USB to MIDI Interfaces. If you're considering a cheaper alternative to the UM-One, I would honestly say just suck it up and pay the extra 10-20 bucks for the Roland quality. A quick glance at the competitors and you'll see that the UM-One tends to come out on top, unless you want to pay $100 or more.

Great product. Nothing to complain about. A great solution for linking MIDI instruments with your computer, your DAW, and your rig.
