The UMX MIDI Controller is an
extremely flexible 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 effects devices? Maybe you
just want to operate sequencing software
or computer plug-ins from a convenient
remote location? UMX Series controllers
provide total flexibility 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 effects 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.
