4.2.7 Control elements assignment
We explained in Chapter 4.2.2 how an individual channel can be assigned to
each control element. You will now nd out how to assign new controllers and
achannel.
a) The assignment for rotary controls R1 – R8, the MODULATION
controller, the PITCH BEND wheel, as well as the DATA fader.
1) Press the ASSIGN push-button and hold it down.
2a) If you would like to assign one of the eight rotary controls, turn the
respective controller.
2b) If you assign the MODULATION controller, please activate one of
the keys located below the lettering
MOD WHEEL ASSIGN
,
MODULA
,
VOLUME
or
CC
. You can bypass step 5, if you decide on the
MODULA
or the
VOLUME
key. The MIDI controller “MODULATION”
(CC 1) or “CHANNEL VOLUME” (CC7) is then directly assigned to
the MODULATION controller without having to enter a controller
numberrst.
2c) If you assign the PITCH BEND wheel, please activate one of the
keys located below the lettering
PB WHEEL ASSIGN
,
PITCH BEND
or
CC
. Youcan bypass step 5, if you decide on the
PITCH BEND
key. Theoriginal pitch bend function is then directly assigned to the
PITCH BEND wheel.
2d) If you complete an assignment for the DATA fader, please activate
one of the keys located below the lettering
SLIDER ASSIGN
,
VOLUME
or
CC
. You can bypass step 5 if you decide on the
VOLUME
key. Theoriginal volume function is then directly assigned
to the DATAfader.
3) Release the ASSIGN push-button again.
4) Press one of the 16 channel push-buttons ( CH 1 ) through ( CH 16 )
to dene the channel.
5) Press the number keys on the keyboard in sequence until you have
completely entered the desired controller number. Only value entries
between 0 and 127 are possible. Greater values are ignored by
thedevice.
Examples:
• Press keys ( 1 ) and ( 4 ) if you have decided on CC 14, forexample.
• Press keys ( 1 ), ( 0 ) and ( 7 ) if you would like to select CC 107.
6) Finally press the ENTER key. In order to discard your assignments,
pleasepress the CANCEL key or press the ASSIGN push-button again.
TheLED of the ASSIGN push button will go o in all 3 cases.
b) Assigning push-buttons B1 – B8 and the optional sustain pedal
connected to the socket ( 15 ).
1) Press the ASSIGN push-button and hold it down.
2) Press the related control element once (however, it is not necessary to
continue pressing it).
3) Release the ASSIGN push-button again.
4) Press one of the 16 channel push-buttons ( CH 1 ) through ( CH 16 ) to
dene the channel.
5) Press the number keys on the keyboard in sequence until you have
completely entered the desired controller number. Only value entries
between 0 and 127 are possible. Greater values are ignored by
thedevice.
6) Finally, press the ENTER key. In order to discard your assignments,
please press the CANCEL key or press the ASSIGN push-button again.
The LED of the ASSIGN push button will go o in all 3 cases.
Please note two exceptions in conjunction with the push-buttons and/or the
sustain pedal.
◊ If you assign CC 07 (Channel Volume) to the push-buttons, a channel
volume of 0 is triggered each time you press the push-button.
This means the channel is always mute. This feature is very useful for
live operation.
◊ If you use controller CC 10 (panning) for the push-buttons or the
sustain pedal, pressing the control element transmits value 64.
This results in hearing the content of the channel in the center of the
stereo panorama.
4.2.8 Program and bank change
You have three dierent options achieving a program change in external
devices with the UMX. This is a very powerful function, which will enable you
to use the full spectrum of all of your sound producers. Options a) and b) will
allow you to select any programs by means of a dened selection procedure,
whichalways has to be completed. The process is generally accelerated in the
third option c), so that you will be able to directly select programs by pressing the
push-buttononce.
a) If you are sure that you want to select from 128 dierent programs
only, you will achieve the ASSIGN mode program change by the
following method. As soon as the quantity of 128 is exceeded,
however, you must apply the process described under paragraph b).
1) Press the ASSIGN push-button and hold it down.
2) Press one of the 16 white channel keys ( CH 1 ) through ( CH 16 ) on
the keyboard. You have now dened the channel by which the program
change will be transmitted.
3) Release the ASSIGN push-button.
4) Press the
PROGRAM
key.
5) Press the number keys in sequence until you have completely entered
the desired program number. Only value entries between 0 and 127 are
possible. Greater values are ignored by the device.
Examples:
• Press ( 1 ) and ( 5 ) if you have decided on program 15, forexample.
• Press ( 1 ), ( 2 ) and ( 7 ) if you would like to select program 127.
6) Press the ENTER key. In order to discard your assignments, please press
the CANCEL key or press the ASSIGN push button again. The ASSIGN LED
will go o in all 3 cases.
b) If you have more than 128 programs, you must apply the following
process to achieve a program change. In this case, your programs
will be organized in banks which are activated by a special MIDI
command: the BANK SELECT command. In the following section,
thiscommand is briey described. A brief introduction for this is
listed in the following:
The BANK SELECT command consists of two parts: an MSB part and an LSB part.
The MSB part describes a value range of 128 dierent values and is the more
important part of the DATA BASE SELECT command for many external devices.
The LSB part describes each of the 128 MSBs in another 128 individual stages.
Both are individually numbered from 0to127.
