Basic Use

If transmitting MIDI messages from the sequencer software to a MIDI sound module or digital 
piano, or if using a MIDI sound module’s or digital piano’s sound generator to play the sounds 
from the playback of sequencer software on the computer, make the following connections 
and settings.

921 revised

* Before making connections to other equipment, you must minimize the volume of all 

equipment in order to prevent malfunctions or speaker damage.

MIDI device setting

[MIDI THRU] switch setting

MIDI messages from the computer are transmitted to the MIDI device (e.g., MIDI sound 
module, digital piano) connected to the UM-1G’s MIDI OUT cable.

* Don’t change the setting of the [MIDI THRU] switch while you’re using the UM-1G. Doing so will 

cause MIDI errors.

Testing the MIDI OUT

When you press the [MIDI CHECK] button, a note-on message (note number 64 [E4]) will be 
transmitted from the UM-1G’s MIDI OUT cable on all MIDI channels (channels 1–16). If the UM-
1G is connected correctly, the connected MIDI device (e.g., MIDI sound module or digital 
piano) will produce sound.

If there is no sound, check the MIDI cable or USB cable connection, and check the settings of 
your sound module.
