The SNAPSHOT SEND command4.2.5
The SNAPSHOT command transmits all parameters including
their current values: all control element assignments as well as
the current channel settings are sent out from the MIDI OUT
connector and the USB output of the UMX250.
In this way it is possible to transmit the entire UMX250
mapping to a sequencer software at the beginning of a song. The
song can then be played back with the nal controller values
adjusted for it. If the parameters of an external device have been
changed, you can also use SNAPSHOT to correct the values.
Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.1)
Press the SNAP SEND key.2)
Release the ASSIGN button. The device automatically enters 3)
Play mode again.
The SNAPSHOT command is sent immediately after playing
◊
the keyboard.
Local Off4.2.6
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.
Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.1)
Press the LOCAL OFF key.2)
Release the ASSIGN button and adjust the control elements 3)
as required.
Finalize your selection with ENTER, CANCEL or ASSIGN. 4)
In either case the ASSIGN LED goes out and the UMX250
enters Play mode again.
Control elements assignment4.2.7
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
(15)
.
Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.1)
Move or press the corresponding controller or button 2)
respectively, or hold down the sustain pedal.
Release the ASSIGN button.3)
Press the number keys on the keyboard to enter the 4)
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
(1)
and
(4)
.
- If you want to select CC 107, press
(1)
,
(0)
and
(7)
.
Press ENTER to conrm. To discard your assignments 5)
either press the CANCEL 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.
Program and bank change4.2.8
The UMX250 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
dened selection procedure. Option c) speeds up the procedure,
so that you can select programs at the touch of a button.
If you are sure to select only one of 128 different a)
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).
