4.2.7 Assignment of control elements
We explained in chapter 4.2.2 how an individual channel can be assigned to each control element. You will now find out how to assign new controllers and a channel.
a)The assignment for rotary controls R1 - R8, the MODULATION controller, the PITCH BEND wheel, as well as the DATA fader
1)Press the ASSIGN
2a) If you would like to assign one of the eight rotary controls, turn the respective controller.
2b) If you assign the MODULATION controller, please activate one of the keys located below the lettering 
, 
, 
or 
. You can bypass step 5, if you decide on the 
and/or the 
key. The MIDI controller “MODULATION” (CC 1) and/or “CHANNEL VOLUME” (CC
7)is then directly assigned to the MODULATION controller without having to enter a controller number first.
2c) If you assign the PITCH BEND wheel, please activate one of the keys located below the lettering 
, 
or 
. You can
bypass step 5, if you decide on the 
key. The original pitch bend function is then directly assigned to the PITCH BEND wheel.
2d) If you complete an assignment for the DATA fader, please activate one of the keys located below the lettering 
, 
or 
. You can bypass
step 5 if you decide on the 
key. The original volume function is then directly assigned to the DATA fader.
3)Release the ASSIGN
4)Press one of the 16 channel 
through 
to define the channel.
5)Press the number keys on the keyboard in sequence until you have completely entered the desired controller number. Only value entries between 0 and 127 are possible. Greater values are ignored by the device.

4.2.8 Program and bank change
You have three different optionsachieving a program change in external devices with the UMX. This is a very powerful function, which will enable you to use the full spectrum of all of your sound producers.
Options a) and b) will allow you to select any programs by means of a defined selection procedure, which always has to be completed. The process is generally accelerated in the third option c), so that you will be able to directly select programs by pressing the
a)If you are sure that you want to select from 128 different programs only, you will achieve the ASSIGN mode program change by the following method. As soon as the quantity of 128 is exceeded, however, you must apply the process described under paragraph b).
1)Press the ASSIGN
2)Press one of the 16 white channel keys 
through 
on the keyboard. You have now defined the channel by which the program change will be transmitted.
3)Release the ASSIGN
4)Press the 
key.
5)Press the number keys in sequence until you have completely entered the desired program number. Only value entries between 0 and 127 are possible. Greater values are ignored by the device.
Example:
-Press 
and 
if you have decided on program 15, for example.
-Press 
, 
and 
if you would like to select program 127.
6)Press the 
key. In order to discard your assignments,
please press the 
key or press the ASSIGN push- button again. The ASSIGN LED will go off in all 3 cases.
b)If you have more than 128 programs, you must apply the following process to achieve a program change. In this case, your programs will be organized in banks which are activated by a special MIDI command: the BANK SELECT command. In the following section, this command is briefly described. A brief introduction for this is listed in the following:
The BANK SELECT command consists of two parts: An MSB part and an LSB part.
The MSB part describes a value range of 128 different values and is the more important part of the DATA BASE SELECT command for many external devices.
