5.6.4 Snapshot send (Send TX)

The Snapshot Send transmits all values of the current controller positions. This allows a synchronization of the UMA25S’ settings with the connected MIDI device.

1.Press the EDIT push button.

2.Press the SNAP TX key. The UMA25S transmits the status of all control elements including the positions of the 8 rotary knobs, the state of the 8 push buttons, etc.

After sending the snapshot the UMA25S switches to Play Mode.

◊In addition to the Snap TX function, there is also the Single Preset Dump (see Chapter 5.7). Both of these functions differ in the type of data they send. With a Snapshot Send, only the current control values are transmitted, which are synchronized with the connected MIDI device. A Single Preset Dump on the other hand allows the entire content of the current preset, including the present control element assignment, to be transmitted. This function allows you easily to archive and exchange individual presets with other U-CONTROL users.

5.6.5 Sending a notes off message

It may happen that a Note Off message cannot be transmitted when the connection between the UMA25S and the other devices is interrupted in which case the notes keep on playing. This kind of situation requires you manually to trigger the Notes Off message which mutes all connected sound modules at once. The Notes Off message is sent to each of the 16 MIDI channels.

1.Press the EDIT push button.

2.Press the NOTES OFF key. The Notes Off message is immediately transmitted. “NOF” appears on the display.

The device automatically switches to Play Mode.

5.6.6 Action send function

The Action Send function lets you trigger the transmission of a specific control element. For example, this function allows you to send a one-off MIDI message which is only supposed to be assigned to a control element for a short time.

1.Press and hold down the EDIT push button.

2.Turn the control element that you want reassigned.

3.Release the EDIT push button.

4.Use E9 to E16 to make the assignment.

5.Press the ACTION SEND key. The MIDI message is trans­mitted.

6a. Press the EDIT/EXIT push button to discard any changes you made.

6b. Alternatively, if you want to keep the new assignment, press ENTER to confirm. Additionally, store the changes in a preset.

5.7 Settings in global mode

In Global Mode, you can make all settings that affect the device as a whole, except for the presets.
