U-CONTROL UMX49/UMX61 2.2 USB mode and stand-alone operation The UMX can be operated as a USB interface or stand-alone device. The two modes are different with respect to the MIDI signal flow.
2.2.1 USB mode When the UMX is linked via USB to a computer, the signal flow is as shown below (Fig. MIDI controller to it. The POWER switch is used to switch the unit on and off. U-CONTROL UMX49/UMX61 Fig. 3.1: Top view of the UMX Please close all programs if you want to switch off the UMX while the computer is running or terminate the USB connection. U-CONTROL UMX49/UMX61 4.2 ASSIGN mode As already mentioned in previous chapters, the ASSIGN Mode is a powerful tool to optionally reconfigure the UMX into an ultra- comfortable controller.
The basic logic of the allocation process has been introduced to you in Chapter 3 “CONTROL ELEMENTS”. In the following we will offer you more detailed information to enable you to use the UMX even more efficiently. ASSIGN push-button again.
The LED of the ASSIGN push- button will go off in all 3 cases. U-CONTROL UMX49/UMX61 Please note two exceptions in conjunction with the push- buttons and/or the sustain pedal.
If you assign CC 07 (Channel Volume) to the push- buttons, a channel volume of 0 is triggered each time you press the push-button. U-CONTROL UMX49/UMX61 different values is therefore available to you via the BANK SELECT command. This theoretically means that you could use external devices which support the same amount of different banks. If you consider that each of these banks again contains another. ASSIGN button again. In all 3 cases the ASSIGN LED goes out. U-CONTROL UMX49/UMX61 4.2.10 Velocity Sensitivity The sensitivity of the UMX can be regulated so that the velocity of the keys has an effect on the volume level.

I got this controller because I wanted a second MIDI input device that would have a few other bells and whistles. You can connect with USB since it has a built in interface. You can also go the traditional way and just connect it with MIDI cables.
It has input for a foot switch, power switch on back as well as plug for an AC adapter, and it also can be battery operated if you want to use this live which is a handy feature. UTILIZATION The action on this keyboard is not really great. It is very, very bouncy, and so it is very hard to get a good capture of different velocities. You really kind of have to learn its velocity curve and play to the keyboard instead of playing to the material, which is a pain. Setup of this controller is very easy though - you just load up the driver and plug it in with USB or MIDI. Mine worked straight away on windows XP and Cubase. The manual is not very in depth, but it is sufficient to get you started well enough.
OVERALL OPINION I have been using this for about a year now. My favorite thing about this keyboard is the low price - it is hard to beat this in terms of value. The mod and pitch wheels work very well, and the assignable pots and output fader are really nice to have. It's only 49 keys, but you can easily change which octaves of a normal 88 key piano are represented with buttons on the front panel. The ease of connectivity is also a big plus with this controller. On the downside, the action is very poor and not realistic at all. You will need to take some time to get used to the velocity curve before you get any dynamically sensible results from playing this keyboard.
If you just need a basic MIDI input device with a few extra bells and whistles at a very low price, this will definitely suit you. I would probably buy it again considering it's just a backup for me, but I wouldn't want to use it as a primary MIDI keyboard.
What characteristics have motivated your choice? I was looking primarily a MIDI keyboard base, allowing me to make the feet (the fingers at once) beginning the story of computer music, while being able to do a bit of piano playing.
I bought the keyboard I found. What connector (MIDI pedals.)?
Midi Out 1 1 Out USB Alim DC9V 1 / 100mA Switch if you have a This basic connection is his job. UTILIZATION - The touch keyboard is it fun? Should your use? I want to say, it's personal touch. I ca not suit me too bad, although a little cheap. However, it's like a guitar, once you get used to the difference ropes / handles, or you love it like it is done with. The manual is clear and sufficient?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Let me explain: Behringer offers us again the fucking manual shortcut to an absolute minimum. You'll find information such as 'Reset the factory settings, etc.' , which can still be used. However, when you have a concern, the manual does not teach us enough.
I have 4 LEDs that light up without knowing why. The manual and online support either. The general configuration is it simple? I could not test the USB. But with a USB Midi interface, it worked instantly.
As for the keyboard itself, I have unfortunately not had time to test the various features. The selection of MIDI channels, patches is easy? Not had time to test either: ( OVERALL OPINION - How long have you use it? I used it 2 days and has Pette. To trace the history: The USB port did not work. So I used the MIDI output.
However, USB has reconnected electrically. Without work, however. The thing is, if the USB port is 'connected' and therefore believes that if the keyboard is the case (what happened), the MIDI output is disabled. Morality, the keyboard is dead. I bought it secondhand, so I have no clear information in relation to what he has suffered before.
But it goes back to the principle Behringer: A report features / great price, that can test something comprehensive enough to not too expensive, but with a quality that takes a serious blow. Dont get me wrong, I do not blame Behringer, on the contrary! If they were not there, it would be hard to find music at lower prices. Until then, it is the first equipment Behringer slap me in the hands of six already in use. However, this problem of connectivity and lack of clear information about the messages displayed by the LED was really cool because it took me more than 5 days to realize that the USB was fucked.
Have you tried many other models before buying it? No, the opportunity arose, I took without asking questions. As a guitarist, having a keyboard for me was not a priority. It would have been another, I would have taken too. What is so special that you like most and least? The number of functionality for the price, can be the hands and understand the operation of any such good keyboard.
Unfortunately for me, I have not had the opportunity. Cheap plastic and the side of the keyboard gives it a. We did not want to show in public. How would you rate the quality / price?
Well as it has Pette, very bad. However, if we forget the worries, the report feature / price is widely acceptable. On the other hand, the plastic side of the case plays much to the disadvantage of this instrument. With experience, you do again this choice?
How much equipment does it take before Behringer have a concern? This is acceptable, but that I have a bit fed up. I prefer a different approach now: try the features in friends, and buy something in the model to begin with and then go to the range above.
Behringer and me is over. However, if you have the opportunity for cheap, go ahead, this allows you to have fun with largely a Reason sequencer or another with a number of interesting features.
