U-CONTROL UMX250 User Manual 1. Before You Get Started 1.1 Shipment The U-CONTROL was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage. ◊ Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly to us.
U-CONTROL UMX250 User Manual 1.4 System requirements And how does it work? For USB operation, a current WINDOWS PC or MAC with a USB connection is sufficient. Both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 are supported. Remote control is realized by assigning the individual control elements of the UMX250 to individual MIDI parameters. Whenever one of these control elements is operated, the UMX250 generates the control data assigned to this control element, which are then transferred to external devices over a data link.
U-CONTROL UMX250 User Manual 2.2.1 USB mode 2.2.2 Stand-alone operation When the UMX250 is linked via USB to a computer, the signalflow is as shown below (Fig. 2.1). When the UMX250 is not linked via USB to a computer, it is automatically set to stand-alone mode. In this case, the UMX250 can only send out MIDI data from its MIDI OUT connector. After the UMX250 has been connected to the host computer, a virtual MIDI IN and MIDI OUT interface is emulated.

U-CONTROL UMX250 User Manual 4.2 Assign mode As already mentioned in the preceding chapters, the ASSIGN mode is a powerful tool which allows you to re-configure the UMX250 to an extremely easy-to-use controller. The fundamental logic of the assignment procedure was already presented in Chapter 3 “Control elements and connections”. 4.2.1 Setting the global channel MIDI channels are classified into two types: one GLOBAL CHANNEL and 16 SINGLE CHANNELS.
U-CONTROL UMX250 User Manual 4.2.6 Local off The effect of LOCAL OFF is that any data entries made with the control elements will NOT be passed on to the MIDI OUT connector or the USB OUT. In LOCAL OFF mode you can, for example, re-adjust the rotary controls without sending any information to the external devices connected—which would normally be the case. 1) Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed. 2) Press the LOCAL OFF key.
