In addition to the connection to the computer, you can use the MIDI OUT to connect additional MIDI devices, so that the UMX transforms into a
Use the FOOT SWITCH connector to connect a sustain pedal. This interface is factory preset and assigned to the MIDI parameter “Foot Pedal” (CC 64), which represents a switch controller. When the pedal is pressed (and held) in normal Play mode, it generates a controller with the value 127. When the pedal is released, the controller falls back to 0 (typical piano sustain pedal behavior). Apart from that the pedal assignment is the same as the button assignment, i.e. you can assign any MIDI controller to it.
The POWER switch is used to switch the unit on and off.
Please close all programs if you want to switch off the UMX25 while the computer is running or terminate the USB connection.
4. OPERATION
We will explain the operation of the UMX in detail in the following. You must observe the following: There is a differentiation
between
keys (control element )! Please do not confuse these!
4.1 THE PLAY MODE
The UMX will be in the Play Mode immediately after it is switched on. Here you can immediately begin to play, modify the filtering process via the rotary controls, execute panning, control software synthesizers and so on...
4.1.1 THE FACTORY MEMORY
The FACTORY MEMORY is the installed memory in which the basic settings of the UMX are defined. The controller map
described under is the most important item of the FACTORY MEMORY. These settings are automatically loaded after each start of the device and control many useful parameters.
Instructions which are changed within a session are discarded when the device is switched off. We have equipped the UMX with a USER MEMORY, in order to still be able to store changed allocations.
4.1.2 THE USER MEMORY
Settings which are stored in the USER MEMORY remain stored in the internal Flash ROM and are retained after the device is switched off.
Change to the USER MEMORY by pressing
In the USER MEMORY, allocations including channel information of the following control elements can be permanently stored:
-FOOT SWITCH connection
-OCTAVE SHIFT
-VOLUME/DATA fader
-PITCH BEND wheel
-MODULATION wheel
-Rotary controls R1 - R8
