Does anyone have a recommendation for a MIDI interface to connect an 1993 Kurzweil Mark 5 (standard MIDI ports) to an M1 Mac mini? My Midisport 2x2 appears to be obsolete.

Anyone using the Roland UM-ONE mk2 Midi interface to connect an M1 Mac mini to a keyboard with a standard Midi interface?

Yes, I bought one recently to connect an old Roland D50 to my M1 Mac. The first one stopped working after a few minutes, but Amazon replaced it and the second one has been fine. Be aware that there is a tiny little switch on the side of the interface labeled TAB and COMP. While it might appear "obvious" to put the switch at the COMP (Computer) side, that only works for machines that have the Roland MIDI driver installed. If you want it to just work out of the box with your regular MIDI driver in the Mac OS, put the switch on TAB instead. Other than that, it works great.

Thanks for the great information, Brian! I will probably get the Roland.
