assignments either press the button or the ASSIGN button again. In either case the ASSIGN LED goes out.

Example:

You want to use the UMX25 to select preset #49 in bank #25 on an external device over channel 14. Since the bank number of sound modules is often smaller than 128, only the LSB is used to define the bank. The MSB is 0 in this case.

If you have not yet assigned an individual MIDI channel to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons (see chapter 4.2.2), the direct selection of programs always refers to the

GLOBAL CHANNEL!

As soon as you have assigned the direct program selection feature to one of the two OCTAVE SHIFT buttons, pressing both buttons simultaneously will do NOTHING at all!

4.2.9Other functions of the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons

After power-up, the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons are set to their initial state (see table 3.1 on page 7). In addition to the program change and octave shift functions already described, you can assign a few special functions to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons in ASSIGN mode:

a)Transposition by single half-tones

b)Scrolling in program libraries

c)Various controller functions:

As soon as a function has been assigned to one of the two buttons, the second button automatically performs the same function – however with limited functionality:

As long as you have not assigned a particular function to this button in ASSIGN mode, it will not send any data.

When you assign an individual MIDI channel to one of the two buttons, the second button will also be set to this channel. This also applies when you change back to the GLOBAL CHANNEL.

a) Transposition by single half-tones:

1)Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.

2)Press the button.

3)Release the ASSIGN button.

4)Confirm your selection with . To discard your

assignments either press the button or the ASSIGN button again.

Pressing the right-hand button transposes the pitch up by one half-tone, pressing the left-hand button transposes the pitch down by one half-tone. Pressing both buttons simultaneously cancels any transposition made before.

According to the MIDI standard, a keyboard comprises

amaximum of 128 half-tones. When you reach the lower and upper limits of this range using the transpose function, any further key press will not raise or lower the pitch any more. This also applies to the transposition by octaves.

b)Scrolling in program libraries:

Most sound modules allow you to store presets in a separate bank, often referred to as user bank. If the order of the songs to be played during a gig is fixed, you can use the user bank to store all sounds used in concert one after the other and concentrate entirely on your performance. Thanks to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons you don’t have to bother any more with searching sounds in your various sound modules.

1)Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.

2)Press the button.

3)Release the ASSIGN button.

4)Confirm your selection with . To discard your

assignments either press the button or the ASSIGN button again.

Pressing the right-hand OCTAVE SHIFT button switches the presets up by one number on the external sound module, pressing the left-hand OCTAVE SHIFT button switches the presets down by one number. Pressing both buttons simultaneously switches back to preset #0 in the current bank.

Remember to assign the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to an individual MIDI channel if you do not want to use the GLOBAL CHANNEL (see chapter 4.2.2).

c) Various controller functions:

Please note that the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons generate switch controller information if assigned to a controller: They always generate a value of 0 or 127.

Two exceptions: If you assign the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to controller CC 07 (Channel Volume), pressing either of the two buttons generates the value 0. With controller CC 10 (Panorama), the value generated by pressing either of the buttons is 64.

Please note that when a controller has been assigned, pressing both buttons simultaneously has no effect.

1)Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
