Greetings leehco,

I have wasted too much time with off brand USB/MIDI interfaces to ever
bother with them again. Some seems to work fine and then stop for a
while or become erratic.Some never work. I think they have crappy
drivers. I have had customers with very strange symptoms that
disappeared immediately after getting a good USB/MIDI interface. I
have never had problems with either the Roland or the M-Audio one in
one out models. I think that both of these use the model number of
UM-1
