Evolution UC-33e Getting Started
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Evolution UC-33. You can use it to control
software on PCs and Macs, and to control external MIDI hardware like synthesizers,
sound modules, drum machines and samplers.
The UC-33 can control many different parameters. It sends MIDI Continuous Controller
data or CCs, RPN / NRPN data, MIDI Bank change LSB and MSB and Program Changes
on 16 different MIDI channels so you can easily control your studio using only the UC-33!
If you are using Sequencing Software and / or Virtual Instruments you may find one of the
UC-33’s preset memories ready to work straight out of the box with your program.
Controllers will be already assigned to the software you are using, or you can assign your
own then store your setup in any of the 33 memories.
