U-CONTROL UMX25
4. OPERATION
In steps 5 and 6 you have defined the bank from which the
desired program will be selected. Now define the program
itself:
8) Press the button followed by the number keys
on the keyboard to enter the program number of your choice.
Only values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher
values are ignored by the device. That’s all!
9) Confirm your selection with . To discard your
assignments either press the button or the ASSIGN
button again. In either case the ASSIGN LED goes out.
Example:
You want to use the UMX25 to select preset #49 in bank #25 on
an external device over channel 14. Since the bank number of
sound modules is often smaller than 128, only the LSB is used to
define the bank. The MSB is 0 in this case.
1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2) Press the button.
3) Release the ASSIGN button.
4) Define the MIDI channel by pressing keys and
.
5) Press the button and then .
6) Press the button and then keys and
to select bank #25.
7) Define the program by pressing the button followed
by keys and to select program #49.
8) Press the button.
c) Direct program selection using the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons.
1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2) Press the one of the two OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to which
you want to assign the program change function.
3) Release the ASSIGN button.
4) Press the button. Press the number keys on the
keyboard to enter the preset number of your choice. Only
values between 0 and 127 can be entered. Higher values
are ignored by the device.
5) Confirm your selection with . To discard your
assignments either press the button or the ASSIGN
button again. In either case the ASSIGN LED goes out.

If you have not yet assigned an individual MIDI channel
to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons (see chapter 4.2.2), the
direct selection of programs always refers to the
GLOBAL CHANNEL!

As soon as you have assigned the direct program
selection feature to one of the two OCTAVE SHIFT
buttons, pressing both buttons simultaneously will do
NOTHING at all!
4.2.9 Other functions of the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons
After power-up, the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons are set to their initial
state (see table 3.1 on page 7). In addition to the program change
and octave shift functions already described, you can assign a
few special functions to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons in ASSIGN
mode:
a) Transposition by single half-tones
b) Scrolling in program libraries
c) Various controller functions:

As soon as a function has been assigned to one of the
two buttons, the second button automatically performs
the same function – however with limited functionality:
As long as you have not assigned a particular function
to this button in ASSIGN mode, it will not send any
data.

When you assign an individual MIDI channel to one of
the two buttons, the second button will also be set to
this channel. This also applies when you change back
to the GLOBAL CHANNEL.
a) Transposition by single half-tones:
1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2) Press the button.
3) Release the ASSIGN button.
4) Confirm your selection with . To discard your
assignments either press the button or the ASSIGN
button again.
Pressing the right-hand button transposes the pitch up by one
half-tone, pressing the left-hand button transposes the pitch down
by one half-tone. Pressing both buttons simultaneously cancels
any transposition made before.

According to the MIDI standard, a keyboard comprises
a maximum of 128 half-tones. When you reach the
lower and upper limits of this range using the
transpose function, any further key press will not raise
or lower the pitch any more. This also applies to the
transposition by octaves.
b) Scrolling in program libraries:
Most sound modules allow you to store presets in a separate
bank, often referred to as user bank. If the order of the songs to
be played during a gig is fixed, you can use the user bank to store
all sounds used in concert one after the other and concentrate
entirely on your performance. Thanks to the OCTAVE SHIFT
buttons you don’t have to bother any more with searching sounds
in your various sound modules.
1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2) Press the button.
3) Release the ASSIGN button.
4) Confirm your selection with . To discard your
assignments either press the button or the ASSIGN
button again.
Pressing the right-hand OCTAVE SHIFT button switches the
presets up by one number on the external sound module, pressing
the left-hand OCTAVE SHIFT button switches the presets down
by one number. Pressing both buttons simultaneously switches
back to preset #0 in the current bank.
Remember to assign the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to an individual
MIDI channel if you do not want to use the GLOBAL CHANNEL
(see chapter 4.2.2).
c) Various controller functions:
Please note that the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons generate switch
controller information if assigned to a controller: They always
generate a value of 0 or 127.

Two exceptions: If you assign the OCTAVE SHIFT
buttons to controller CC 07 (Channel Volume), pressing
either of the two buttons generates the value 0. With
controller CC 10 (Panorama), the value generated by
pressing either of the buttons is 64.

Please note that when a controller has been assigned,
pressing both buttons simultaneously has no effect.
1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
