U-CONTROL UMX25
4. OPERATION
3) Release the ASSIGN button. The device automatically
enters Play mode again.
The SNAPSHOT instruction is sent immediately after
playing the keyboard.
4.2.6 LOCAL OFF
The effect of LOCAL OFF is that any data entries made with the
control elements will NOT be passed on to the MIDI OUT
connector or the USB OUT. In LOCAL OFF mode you can, for
example, re-adjust the rotary controls without sending any
information to the external devices connected – which would
normally be the case.
1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2) Press the button.
3) Release the ASSIGN button and adjust the control elements
as required.
4) Finalize your selection with , or ASSIGN.
In either case the ASSIGN LED goes out and the UMX25
enters Play mode again.
4.2.7 Control element assignment
In chapter 4.2.2 we described how to assign an individual channel
to each control element. Here you will learn how to assign new
controllers.
This procedure applies to the MODULATION wheel, the DATA/
VOLUME fader, the rotary controls R1 – R8, the buttons B1 – B8
and to the optional sustain pedal connected to jack .
1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2) Move or press the corresponding controller or button
respectively, or hold down the sustain pedal.
3) Release the ASSIGN button.
4) Press the number keys on the keyboard to enter the
controller number of your choice. Only values between 0
and 127 can be entered. Higher values are ignored by the
device.
Examples:
- To enter CC 14 press keys and .
- If you want to select CC 107, press , and
.
5) Press to confirm. To discard your assignments either
press the button or the ASSIGN button again. In
either case the ASSIGN LED goes out.
Please note two special cases with regard to a button or the
sustain pedal:
If you assign CC 07 (Channel Volume) to a button, the
channel volume “0” is sent each time you press the
button. This will always mute the channel, which is a
very interesting feature when playing live.
If you use the controller CC 10 (Panorama) for the
buttons or sustain pedal, pressing the control element
will send out a value of 64. As a consequence, the
channel will always be set to center position in the
stereo panorama.
4.2.8 Program and bank changes
The UMX25 provides three options to change programs on external
devices. This is a very powerful function which allows you to fully
exploit the multitude of functions of your sound modules.
Options a) and b) allow you to select any programs using a defined
selection procedure. Option c) speeds up the procedure, so that
you can select programs at the touch of a button.
a) If you are sure to select only one of 128 different programs,
you can effect program changes in ASSIGN mode as shown
below. However, if the number of 128 is exceeded, you will
have to use the procedure described in section b).
1) Press the button and keep it pressed.
2) Press the SINGLE key.
3) Release the ASSIGN button.
4) Now define the SINGLE CHANNEL by entering a number
from 1 to 16 using the number keys. In order to assign the
GLOBAL CHANNEL, please press the
instead.
5) Press the
button.
6) Press the number keys on the keyboard to enter the program
number of your choice. Only values between 0 and 127 can
be entered. Higher values are ignored by the device.
Examples:
- To enter program 15, press keys and
- If you want to select program 127, press ,
and .
7) Confirm your selection with . If you do not like the
selected program, discard your selection with or
press the ASSIGN button again. In either case the ASSIGN
LED goes out.
b) If you want to make a selection from more than 128
programs, please use the following program change
procedure. In this case your programs will be organized in
banks, which can be selected with a special MIDI instruction
called BANK SELECT. Here’s how it works:
The BANK SELECT instruction consists of two parts: one MSB
part and one LSB part.
The MSB part describes a value range comprising 128 different
values. On many devices this is the more important part of the
BANK SELECT instruction.
The LSB part describes each of the 128 MSBs using 128 additional
single steps. In both cases the numbering is from 0 to 127.
In total, the BANK SELECT instruction offers the enormous value
range of 128 x 128 = 16,384 different values. In theory, this means
that you could use external devices with as many different banks.
Considering the fact that each single bank includes another 128
single programs, you get the unbelievably large number of
2,097,152 programs for you to organize.
1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2) Press the key.
3) Release the ASSIGN button.
4) Now define the SINGLE CHANNEL by entering a number
from 1 to 16 using the number keys (as described in chapter
4.2.2). In order to assign the GLOBAL CHANNEL, please
press instead.
5) Press the button. Press the number keys on the
keyboard to enter the BANK MSB number of your choice.
Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher
values are ignored by the device.
The BANK MSB is now defined.
Examples:
- To enter MSB 14, press keys and .
- If you want to select MSB 107, press , and
.
6) Now define the BANK LSB by pressing the
button. Use the procedure described above to enter the
BANK LSB value (see step 5). The entry follows the same
rules as were described for the BANK MSB.
