I/O setup using the configuration utility

To begin, download and install the UMC32+ configuration utility. It is recommended that your video display should be set at a minimum

screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher). The utility is available for download here.

How to configure (quick start):

Disconnect any wires, ribbon or usb cables from the UMC. Close any MIDI host applications that may be running as the

configuration utility needs exclusive access to the UMC‟s MIDI I/O.

Reconnect the UMC32+ to your PC with your USB cable. If this is the first time you have connected this device to your

computer please wait until Windows displays a message stating that your hardware/devices are ready to use.

After windows has installed and loaded the drivers for the device, launch the UMC32_Plus_ConfigUtil_v1xx application.

In the "MIDI Ports" section, select the IN Device, and the corresponding OUT device. If you are using Windows XP the

UMC32+ will show up as "USB Audio Device", under Vista and Windows 7 it will show up as "UMC32+_D0x", where x is the

device number. .. The device number you see will depend on the firmware that you have bootloaded into the UMC. All

devices are shipped from the factory as D01.

Click "Open" to open MIDI input and MIDI output ports.

Click "Read". This will cause the application to grab all of the current configuration data for the selected device into the

application. The „Status‟ window should display the following:

"Status: UMC32+ read OK"

"Firmware: v3.x.x"

"Build Date: MM//DD//YY"

For each I/O channel select the Hardware I/O type, MIDI Channel, Message Type and message number.

When you are finished, click on "Write" to update the UMC with the changes you have made.

Exit/Quit the application.

10)

Disconnect the USB cable from the UMC, then reconnect it to resume normal MIDI operations.

Please exercise care in selecting and connecting any sensors or controls to your UMC. It is

recommended that you triple check your wiring to and from the UMC. This is especially the

case when using Output Mode(s). It is quite easy to set a channel for output mode and mistake

it as an input when connecting your pots or switches causing a short circuit. If you are in doubt

about the hardware type of your control please post your compatibility question in the UMC32+

user forums located at http://forums.halemicro.com/.
