8 U-CONTROL UMA25S User Manual
2. USB Mode with MIDI OUT:
Fig. 1.6: USB mode with MIDI OUT
In this mode, the keyboard messages are transmitted via USB to the computer
and simultaneously to MIDI OUT. The messages from the computer are only
picked up by the UMA25S and not passed on to MIDI OUT.
This mode is ideal for recording your keyboard performance to your computer
even when your sequencer or virtual instrument produces high latencies. To avoid
this problem, use a rack synthesizer while recording but the virtual instrument
during playback. The MIDI messages are sent to the computer and, at the same
time, to the MIDI output.
Selecting the USB mode:
Press the EDIT/EXIT push button.1.
Press the key on the keyboard labeled MIDI OUT or MIDI THRU.2.
Press ENTER to conrm or EDIT/EXIT to cancel.3.
The selected USB mode is now active and the keyboard automatically switches
back to Play Mode.
