NOTICE:
¾ The purpose of this manual is to give you quick tutorial on how to use the U-CTRL function
of the CME VX keyboard in conjunction with commonly used software.
¾ The U-CTRL function uses hardware controllers to remotely control a variety of software
functions, for example, volume, pan, channel selection, sequence transport, on-off switches,
etc.
¾ Use only the adapter packaged with this instrument in order to ensure proper operation of the
motorized faders.
¾ The functions controllable by the VX U-CTRL depend on the specific software. Please
consult the supporting documentation for the software you are using.
¾ In U-CTRL mode, the U-CTRL function uses “VX USB AUDIO DEVICE [2]” to input and
output data; therefore do not assign the music channel to this port.
¾ Before using this manual, please update your VX firmware to v1.08 or higher.
You can check the version of your firmware by simultaneously pressing MASTER and
ASSIGN button while turning on the power.
To obtain the update program and the latest VX firmware file, please visit our websites.
http://www.centrmus.com and http://www.cme-pro.com ).
(
¾ If the software you are using is an earlier version, it may be different from or incompatible
with this manual. Therefore, be sure to upgrade you software to the latest version.
¾ The illustrations in this manual are for reference only, and may differ somewhat from the
actual software.
