Introduction

Features of the UM-1

The UM-1 is a USB MIDI interface cable which uses USB as its connection to your computer.
What is USB?
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, which is a new interface for connecting
various types of peripheral device to computers.
A single USB cable can be used to connect multiple peripheral devices, and data
transmission speed is much faster than the serial port used on previous computers.
In addition, peripheral devices can be connected or disconnected without turning
off the power, and the computer will automatically detect the device which was
connected. (For some peripherals, you may need to make settings or perform other
operations.)
Easy Connection to Your Computer
Connections to your computer can be made even when the power is turned on.
High-Speed Data Transmission via USB
High-speed USB connection provides excellent response even with simultaneous playback
on multiple channels.
Power Supply Not Required
Power is supplied from the computer itself, so a separate power supply is not required.
