Have you tried to use the UNO Synth Editor, and fiddling with the MIDI-parameters? As long as the MIDI keyboard registers normally with your computer, you should be able to see it in the MIDI In-section in the UNO Synth Editor, and you should be able to control the synth instantly. Another route is to goa via a DAW like Ableton Live and control the ins and outs of MIDI there.

This is how I connect my MIDI keyboard Joué Board directly to UNO Synth via the UNO Synth Editor; https://www.vcode.no/files/HowToConnectMIDIKeyboardToUNOSynth

Hope this helps.

Glad you got it to work!

Regarding getting all the knobs, faders and so forth working, it is all about getting the grip of the MIDI implementation. First and foremost you need to know how UNO Synth implements MIDI, and that you find at the end of the the manual here https://download.ikmultimedia.com/plugins/Manuals/UNOSynth/UNO_Synth_User_Manual.pdf .

IF your keyboard doesn't do exactly what you want (say, you want knob A to control the Filter Cutoff knob on the synth), you need some way of translating (or "map") the MIDI message from your keyboard before it reaches the UNO Synth. This can be normally accomplished with software like Ableton Live where you can do the mapping there. Ideally you should be able to bring up the UNO Synth Editor as a VST plugin, and simply enter Ableton's MIDI mapping mode, where you click on the control in the editor you want to control (such as Filter Cutoff) and then click on the physical knob on your keyboard. Volia - the MIDI mapping is finished. BUT ... Unfortunately the VST implementation of the UNO Synth Editor has some issues where it only has one MIDI connection, and since Ableton "takes" this at Ableton-startup, the VST UNO Synth Editor will end up in a neverending "WAITING FOR UNO"-state. This kind of mapping isn't therefore straight forward.

*Perhaps* you can get tools like MIDI Translator Pro (https://www.bome.com/products/miditranslator) to do the MIDI mapping for you, if you just want to work with the MIDI keyboard and the UNO Synth - without blending in the DAW.

Good luck and please report back how you solve things!

Yes, I will tell you when I try that.
But I don't use Ableton but logic pro x.

TO plug in unosynth editor in logic I had the same problem that you have in Ableton.
I TRY again and I'LL let you know if I resolve the problem.
