M Audio MIDISPORT Uno Driver

The M Audio MIDISPORT Uno is a USB MIDI interface that connects MIDI keyboards, synthesizers, and other compatible equipment to a Windows PC. Its driver helps Windows recognize the interface and makes its MIDI input and output available to recording software, sequencers, and virtual instruments. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, check that the selected M-Audio driver package explicitly supports your operating system before installing.

Key Features

• USB-to-MIDI connectivity: Enables communication between your computer and instruments equipped with standard MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports.
• MIDI input and output access: Lets compatible music software receive performance data and send MIDI commands to connected hardware.
• Software integration: Makes the interface available for selection in your application's MIDI device settings once it is correctly installed and detected.
• Support for MIDI workflows: Carries note, controller, and synchronization messages used for playing virtual instruments, sequencing external gear, and coordinating compatible devices. The Uno transfers MIDI data, not recorded audio.

How to Install

1. Check compatibility before downloading. Confirm your Windows version and system architecture, then review the driver package's supported systems and installation notes. Do not assume a package intended for Windows 7 or 8 will also support Windows 10 or 11.

1. Prepare your computer. Close music applications and disconnect the MIDISPORT Uno unless the package instructions say otherwise. If an older driver is already installed, follow M-Audio's guidance on whether it needs to be removed first.

1. Run the installer. Extract the download if necessary, open the setup application, and approve the Windows permission prompt. Follow the on-screen instructions, connecting the interface when requested. Restart your PC if prompted.

1. Connect your MIDI equipment. Plug the Uno into an available USB port. Connect the interface's MIDI IN lead to your instrument's MIDI OUT port, and its MIDI OUT lead to the instrument's MIDI IN port.

1. Select and test the interface. Open your recording or sequencing software and enable the Uno in its MIDI preferences. Choose it as the relevant track's input or output, then play a few notes to check communication. If it is missing, check Device Manager for errors and try a direct USB connection rather than a hub.
