7 U-CONTROL UMX250 User Manual

5) Press the ENTER button on the keyboard to conrm your assignments.

Todiscard your assignments either press the CANCEL button or the ASSIGN

button again. In either case, the ASSIGN LED goes out and the UMX250 quits

ASSIGN mode.

(6) The USER MEMORY button is used to recall the internal memory.

Theinternal memory contains all assignment information set in ASSIGN

mode. Anychanges that were made after USER MEMORY selection are

automatically saved without further user prompts. The USER MEMORY is

retained even after the unit is switched o.

(7) The two OCTAVE SHIFT buttons are preset to shift the keyboard range

by several octaves up or down. The associated LEDs help you identify the

current octave setting (see Table 3.1). Since the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons

can also be assigned to any MIDI controller, we would like to refer you to

Chapters 4.2.8 and 4.2.9 for detailed information.

(8) The eight high-resolution rotary controls R1 – R8 generate continuous

controller information. They are the controllers that are shown above

the buttons in the table (10). All rotary controllers can be assigned to any

controller in ASSIGN mode.

(9) The eight buttons B1 – B8 generate switch controllers. Again, these are

factory-set functions (see table (10) on the device). Like the rotary controls

the buttons can be freely assigned to any controller in ASSIGN mode.

(10) The table shows the controller assignment PRESET at the factory.

(11) KEYBOARD LEGEND: Informs you about the special functions performed

by individual keys on the keyboard. The individual elements of the keyboard

legend are described in detail in Chapter 4 “Operation”.

(12) Use this socket to supply the UMX250 with current from an external power

supply unit (not included).

(13) The USB connector of the UMX250. The connector (type B) on the device

is connected using the cable supplied to a free slot on the host computer

(where you will nd a type A connector). It is compatible with the USB 1.1

and USB 2.0 standards.

(14) In addition to the connection to the computer, you can use the MIDI OUT

to connect additional MIDI devices, so that the UMX250 transforms into a

fully-featured, easily accessible MIDI interface for your host computer.

(15) Use the FOOT SWITCH connector to connect a sustain pedal. This port

is factory-set 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.

(16) The POWER switch is used to switch the unit on and o.

◊ Please close all programs if you want to switch off the UMX250 while

the computer is running or terminate the USB connection.

4. Operation

In the following, we will explain the operation of the UMX250 in detail.

Pleasenote the dierentiation between buttons (see control elements (9))

andkeys (control element (1))! Please do not confuse these!

4.1 Play mode

After power-up the UMX250 is in PLAY mode. You can start playing, modifylter

sweeps with the rotary controls, determine program changes intuitively,

realizepanorama changes, controlsoft synths, and so on.

4.1.1 The factory memory

The FACTORY MEMORY is the internal memory storing the basic settings of the

UMX250. The most important feature of the FACTORY MEMORY is the controller

map described in point (10). These settings dene a number of useful parameters

and are automatically loaded when the device is switched on.

Assignments that are modied during a session, will be discarded when the unit

is switched o. In order to save the modied assignments, the UMX250 has been

provided with a USER MEMORY.

4.1.2 The user memory

Settings that are stored in the USER MEMORY, are stored permanently in the

internal ash ROM and will be retained even after switching the unit o.

Change to the USER MEMORY by pressing button 6. When you access the

USERMEMORY for the rst time, it stores a copy of the FACTORY MEMORY

settings. As soon as you make changes to the existing controller map, they are

stored automatically without your intervention.

The following control element assignments including channel information can be

permanently stored in the USER MEMORY:

• FOOT SWITCH connector

• OCTAVE SHIFT button

• VOLUME/DATA fader

• PITCH BEND wheel

• MODULATION wheel

• Rotary controls R1 – R8

• Buttons B1 – B8
