UMA25S
Functionality, Functionality,  
Functionality… 
There are some things that just 
bear repeating. Besides providing 
25 velocity-sensitive keys for the slickest 
set of glissandos and the snappiest 
arpeggios, the UMA25S also functions 
as a full-fledged USB audio interface for 
recording and podcasting. This powerful 
interface features a built-in mic preamp 
with dedicated Gain control, a Phones 
Output with its own dedicated Volume 
control and stereo RCA I/O jacks for 
connecting external devices. The interface 
is so versatile, it even allows simultaneous 
recording of the Mic and Line inputs. 
Speaking of recording…
Because you’ll want to take full 
advantage of the UMA25S’ podcasting 
and recording potential we’ve included 
a massive software package including 
Audacity, Podifier, Juice, Podnova and 
Golden Ear. 
You’re ready to go live on your PC 
or Mac computer right out of the box! 
You also get more than 100 virtual 
instruments and over 50 effects plug-ins, 
making the UMA25S a complete mobile 
studio from input to output.
Three different power supply options
Because it needs to be ready for action 
in a variety of venues, the UMA25S can 
draw its operating power from any free 
USB port on your PC or Mac computer, 
3 AA batteries or the optional external 
power supply. No matter what your 
performance calls for, the UMA25S is 
the ideal solution.
Accessories
MIDI controllers don’t typically come 
with many extras. But the UMA25S is 
designed to do so much more than turn 
things on and off, so we provide gadgets 
galore. In addition to the expansive 
software package mentioned above, 
you also get:
•  A high-quality headset with built-in 
mic for podcasting and recording
•  A soft carry bag with enough pockets 
for cables, power supply, CDs, etc., and,
•  A guitar-style strap, so you can steal 
the spotlight from the guitarist and 
start building your own bevy of fans.
21 assignable controllers and  
16 user presets
When it comes to remote control, the 
UMA25S offers more real-time options than 
the competition. You get 8 knobs, 8 buttons, 
2 wheels (Pitch Bend & Modulation), 2 pedal 
ports (Expression & Sustain) and 1 fader, for 
a total of 21 assignable controllers—total 
control of your operating environment. 
Once you’ve assigned the parameters for a 
particular scenario, simply store it in one of 
the 16 available preset locations. 
Here are just a few reasons you  
need a UMA25S:
•  
For playing external sound modules, rack 
synthesizers and virtual instruments
•  For editing sound parameters of 
synthesizers, sound samplers and  
GM/GS/XG sound generators
•  Controlling parameters on effects devices 
and software plug-ins, such as effects 
processors, compressors and digital 
equalizers
•  Remotely controlling software mixers 
(functions for volume, pan, mute, etc.)
•  Remotely controlling transport functions 
(Play, Fast Forward, Stop, etc., which is also 
known as MMC, or MIDI Machine Control) 
on sequencers, hard-disk recorders, drum 
machines, etc.
•  Live control of volume and sound 
parameters of sound modules on stage
