(12) 

Use this socket to supply the UMX with current from an external power 

supply unit (not included).

(13) 

The USB connector of the UMX. The connector (type B) on the device is 

connected using the cable supplied to a free slot on the host computer 

(where you will find a type A connector). It is compatible with the USB 1.1 

and/or USB 2.0 standards.

(14) 

In addition to the connection to the computer, you can use the MIDI OUT 

to connect additional MIDI devices, so that the UMX transforms into a 

fully-featured, easily accessible MIDI interface for your host computer.

(15) 

Use the FOOTSWITCH connector to connect a sustain pedal. This port 

is factory-set and assigned to the MIDI parameter “Foot Pedal” (CC 64), 

which represents a switch controller. When the pedal is pressed (and held) 

in normal Play mode, it generates a controller with the value 127. When the 

pedal is released, the controller falls back to 0 (typical piano sustain pedal 

behavior). Apart from that the pedal assignment is the same as the button 

assignment, i.e. you can assign any MIDI controller to it.

(16) 

The POWER switch is used to switch the unit on and off.

In the following, we will explain the operation of the UMX in detail. Please note 

the differentiation between push-buttons (refer to control elements  

(10)

  and 

keys (control element  

(1)

)! Please do not confuse these!

The UMX is in the PLAY mode immediately after it is switched on. Here you can 

immediately begin to play, modify the filtering process via the rotary controls, 

execute panning, control software synthesizers and so on.

4.1.1  The factory memory
The FACTORY MEMORY is the installed memory in which the basic settings of the 

UMX are defined. The controller map described under  

(10)

  is the most important 

item of the FACTORY MEMORY. These settings are automatically loaded after each 

start of the device and control many useful parameters. 
Instructions which are changed within a session are discarded when the device is 

switched off. We have equipped the UMX with a USER MEMORY, in order to still be 

able to store changed allocations.

4.1.2  The user memory
Settings which are stored in the USER MEMORY remain stored in the internal 

Flash ROM and are retained after the device is switched off. 
Change to the USER MEMORY by pressing push-button  

(6)

. If you call up the 

USER MEMORY for the first time, the settings of the FACTORY MEMORY will be 

used initially. As soon as you execute changes in the existing controller map, 

they are automatically stored without requiring any further action. 
In the USER MEMORY, allocations including channel information of the following 

control elements can be permanently stored:

FOOT SWITCH connector

OCTAVE SHIFT buttons

VOLUME/DATA fader

PITCH BEND wheel

MODULATION wheel

Rotary controls R1 – R8

Push-Buttons B1 – B8
