SAME HERE.
Standalone Editor works OK.
VSTi in Reaper shows "waiting for UNO" if Uno MIDI in/out enabled in Reaper MIDI Preferences.
If it's disabled in MIDI Preferences editor works but I can't send MIDI to synth via ReaInsert.

Moog SubPhatty works OK both standalone editor and VSTi.

Hey, I just had the exact same problem. Everything worked fine in the standalone editor but in FL STUDIO the MIDI output was shown red.

I just figured out what the problem was in my case.
I had selected a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT in the synth, which works like this:

- press ALT
- press MIDI to select the MIDI IN with the up and down buttons (there's a green light above the MIDI button)
- press MIDI to select the MIDI OUT with the up and down buttons (there's an orange light above the MIDI button)
- press ALT again

In the MIDI settings of FL STUDIO I had selected the exact same port numbers for MIDI In and MIDI OUT for the UNO Synth.

Now, here's the solution that I found kinda by accident: I just set the MIDI OUT port in the FL STUDIO MIDI menu for the UNO SYNTH to neutral (instead of a number there's this: ---) and boom, the VST editor loads and I have full access to the synth.

Let's hope it stays that way :)

So,

Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

tried it with Live, Studio One, Reaper.
Plugin simply refuses to work.

The editor connects without any problem (and is configured as per faq).

Plugin, when loaded in a daw (doesn't matter if vst or vst3) *sends* midi but don't receive any, so is always in "Waiting for Uno".

-In the DAW the midi ports used by Uno are disabled (so they're not "busy" and avaiable to the plugin);
-As per the above, the midi ports in the plugin are in "gray" (not red), so they're avaiable.
-I even tried the normal midi in/outs in Uno with an external midi interface: Editor works, plugin is always waiting for uno.

Weird thing1: loading the plugin in minimal VST hosts (meaning, not a DAW) like IL MiniHost or Element, it works no problem.

Weird thing2: if i wrap the vst plugin in jBridge it "kind of works". Meaning, it connects to Uno, does everything (but in a glitchy way) BUT doesn't connect if i load a saved project with it.

I'm using hardware synths editors that works by the same principle (using "free" midi ports for I/O with the instrument) daily without any issue.

Now, i read that this is a thing that Support will be glad to work on.
I opened a ticket (#6557595) 5 days ago and still have to see any signs of life on IK side [mod redacted - unnecessary, please review the forum rules before posting and these guidelines with regard to escalating a ticket viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19505 ]

To says the truth i'm not too hopeful: i've reading reports about this problem all over the internet with no definitive solution and the last update to the plugin is from 2 years ago.

By now i feel quite frustrated and i'm only 'happy' i didn't spend money in the more expensive Pro.

Did anyone ever figure this out?

I'm in the same boat using Ableton Live.

The stand-alone editor works fine, but as soon as I load the VST into Live I can't get it to connect.

The FAQ is the solution for almost all occurrences of "waiting for UNO" and the IK Support team will happily assist you since that didn't resolve your problem. There should be a link in that FAQ to open a ticket with them.

Note that in order to record UNO Synth on your computer you must send its audio output into your audio interface as it is an analog synthesizer and does not send audio via USB or MIDI connection to your computer.

plugging into the audio gives a really horrible pssshhhtt sound which i cant get rid of. the advertisng of a vst for the uno is quite misleading, it doesnt make any sounds, just extra controls. i dont see how i can use this for getting any decent recordings, i might as well just stick to my keyboard and vst sounds. not impressed with this unit at all.
i wouldnt recomend this to anyone wanting to record via there pc unless there prepared to messabout a lot. much easier using the retro vst's for a fraction of the price and just as much control over the sounds.

People get great sounds from UNO Synth. There might be factors like bus noise if you have it connected to your computer via USB etc but there are some tips to avoid that kind of noise on the UNO Synth Specs page: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/u ... hp?p=specs
