The default should be /dev/??? (without a zero) so that it can be made a
symbolic link to /dev/???X.

Load the snd-virmidi module, use aconnect to connect from the UM-1 to
the first virtual port and from the first virtual port to the Yamaha
port.  Then tell your programs to use /dev/midi03, or try to create a
symlink from /dev/midi to /dev/midi03, or just load the snd-virmidi
module at index 0.
