What is MIDI? MIDI is an internationally recognized standard for exchanging performance information between electronic musical instruments and computers.

For example, in the illustration below, a MIDI signal meaning the C key on the MIDI keyboard was pressed passes through the UM-ONE and is received by the computers software sound module, and then the software sound module plays the note C.

Software sound module

C is played MIDI signal

C key is pressed

Information meaning the C key was pressed

In this way, MIDI is used to send performance information to other instruments; for example the C key was pressed with a certain amount of force, the instrument was changed to a violin sound, the volume was raised/lowered, the pitch was raised/lowered, etc. In other words, MIDI is the language of musical instruments.

MIDI signals are merely performance instructions, therefore a MIDI sound module, such as a software sound module, is required to produce sound.

All software sound modules and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software support MIDI. * DAW software is a term that refers to music production software.

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: USING THE UNIT SAFELY and IMPORTANT NOTES (p. 3; p. 5). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, this Owners Manual should be read in its entirety.

USING THE UNIT SAFETY

Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

Disconnect all cords coming from external devices before moving the unit.

5

IMPORTANT NOTES Placement Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight,

place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions Use a reasonable amount of care when using

its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.

When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
