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 e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 o, adjusts the volume or changes
any one of many addressable parameters.

U-CONTROL
UMA25S

21 assignable controllers and
16 user presets

When it comes to remote control, the
UMA25S oers more real-time options than
the competition. You get 8 knobs, 8 buttons,
2 wheels (Pitch Bend & Modulation), 2 pedal
ports (Expression & Sustain) and 1 fader, for
a total of 21 assignable controllers—total
control of your operating environment.
Once you’ve assigned the parameters for a
particular scenario, simply store it in one of
the 16 available preset locations.

Here are just a few reasons you
need a UMA25S:

• For playing external sound modules, rack

synthesizers and virtual instruments

• For editing sound parameters of

synthesizers, sound samplers and

GM/GS/XG sound generators

• Controlling parameters on eects devices

and software plug-ins, such as eects

processors, compressors and digital

equalizers

• Remotely controlling software mixers

(functions for volume, pan, mute, etc.)

• Remotely controlling transport functions

(Play, Fast Forward, Stop, etc., which is also

known as MMC, or MIDI Machine Control)

on sequencers, hard-disk recorders, drum

machines, etc.

• Live control of volume and sound

parameters of sound modules on stage

There are some things that just
bear repeating. Besides providing
25 velocity-sensitive keys for the slickest
set of glissandos and the snappiest
arpeggios, the UMA25S also functions
as a full-edged USB audio interface for
recording and podcasting. This powerful
interface features a built-in mic preamp
with dedicated Gain control, a Phones
Output with its own dedicated Volume
control and stereo RCA I/O jacks for
connecting external devices. The interface
is so versatile, it even allows simultaneous
recording of the Mic and Line inputs.

Speaking of recording…

Because you’ll want to take full
advantage of the UMA25S’ podcasting
and recording potential we’ve included
a massive software package including
Audacity, Podier, Juice, Podnova and
Golden Ear.

You’re ready to go live on your PC
or Mac computer right out of the box!
You also get more than 100 virtual
instruments and over 50 eects plug-ins,
making the UMA25S a complete mobile
studio from input to output.

Three dierent power supply options

Because it needs to be ready for action
in a variety of venues, the UMA25S can
draw its operating power from any free
USB port on your PC or Mac computer,
3 AA batteries or the optional external
power supply. No matter what your
performance calls for, the UMA25S is
the ideal solution.

Accessories

MIDI controllers don’t typically come
with many extras. But the UMA25S is
designed to do so much more than turn
things on and o, so we provide gadgets
galore. In addition to the expansive
software package mentioned above,
you also get:

• A high-quality headset with built-in

mic for podcasting and recording

• A soft carry bag with enough pockets

for cables, power supply, CDs, etc., and,

• A guitar-style strap, so you can steal

the spotlight from the guitarist and

start building your own bevy of fans.
