Hi Buddha,

M-Audio Uno interfaces are an unusual case - Unlike the rest of the M-Audio interface line, this model has a problem or two in its history. I should point out the obvious fact that I am not a tech support specialist for M-Audio and don't have access to inside details, but in my experience Uno users should be aware of the following:

According to the M-Audio website, there was a defective run of Uno interfaces ( I assume produced sometime in the last five years): Defective units have serial numbers between 31805709001 and 45805704080, with the third digit always being "8". Check your serial number and if your unit is one of these bad ones I believe M-Audio has a replacement program you can enter to get a replacement. Psicraft Designs has had users report issues with various instrument editors of ours when they were used in conjunction with an Uno interface and a large percentage of the cases involved one of these defective Uno units.

The Uno that we have at Psicraft Designs (among the dozens of USB interfaces by a comprehensive list of manufacturers) has worked reliably for many years now: It was used during the development of Vyzex Floor POD Plus and just today (in response to your post) was tested again on Vista and Snow Leopard with a Floor POD plus: It passed all tests without any issues.

All of this said, we did uncover something that might be causing your copy of Vyzex FloorPOD Plus trouble when connecting and editing the instrument: Is your Floor POD Plus set to a specific MIDI channel other than '1' or 'ALL'?

If so, there is a minor tweak to the program's configuration file that you'll need to do manually, or you can simply set your Floor POD Plus to use MIDI channel 1 or to operate in 'ALL' MIDI channels mode:

To set Floor POD Plus’s MIDI Channel, hold the Manual button and press Save to enter MIDI channel mode. The display will indicate the current MIDI transmit/receive channel. Use the Bank Up/Down footswitches to change the MIDI transmit/receive channel. Selecting “All” places the unit into Omni mode – it’ll receive all channels and transmit on channel 1. Press the Manual button to save the MIDI channel selection and exit MIDI channel mode.

Please let us know how it goes. Anyone who needs to use the editor with a Floor POD Plus set to MIDI channels 2-15 should post here for the details - We'll also include the configuration tweak in a future update when one becomes necessary.

Cheers,

Tony
