Operating modes

There are different ways of using the UMA25S as a controller:

a)Connect the MIDI output of the UMA25S to external MIDI equipment (rack synthesizers, samplers and similar);

b)Connect the UMA25S to your computer via USB to control your music software.

The first option does not include the functionality of the UMA25S’ audio interface. The MIDI routing changes depending on the operating mode you are working in.
