The UMX MIDI Controller is an
extremely fl exible master keyboard with
a control section for a wide range of
applications. Do you need independent
control of hardware synthesizers or
general MIDI sound modules? How
about control over eff ects devices?
Maybe you just want to operate
sequencing software or computer
plug-ins from a convenient remote
location? UMX Series controllers provide
total fl exibility and tremendous ease of
use, allowing you to realize your ideas
intuitively.
What is a MIDI Controller?
Simply put, a MIDI controller gives
you the power to take command of
any hardware device or software that
understands MIDI (Musical Instrument
Digital Interface). This means that
MIDI-addressable eff ects processors
(such as delays, reverbs, etc.) and audio
recording and editing software can
be controlled with a single piece of
hardware, a MIDI controller. This can
be very handy indeed when you have
lots of devices spread out all over
your studio or workstation space.
The MIDI controller sends a control
message to the device or program
you're using that turns notes
on and off , adjusts the volume
or changes any one of many
addressable parameters.
22 assignable controllers
When it comes to remote
control, you get 8 knobs,
10 assignable switches, 2 wheels
(Pitch Bend & Modulation), 1 pedal
port and 1 fader, for a total of
22 assignable controllers — which
means total control of your operating
environment. Once you've assigned
the parameters for a particular
scenario, simply store it in your
user preset.
Playability
All UMX Series controllers feature
our custom-designed key-bed, which
has been praised by some of the
industry's top product reviewers and
players alike for its responsiveness
and playability.
