What is a MIDI Controller?

Simply put, a MIDI controller gives you the power to take command of any hardware device or software that understands MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). This means that MIDI-addressable effects processors (such as delays, reverbs, etc.) and audio recording and editing software can be controlled with a single piece of hardware, a MIDI controller. This can be very handy indeed when you have lots of devices spread out all over your studio or workstation space. The MIDI controller sends a control message to the device or program you’re using that turns notes on and off, adjusts the volume or changes any one of many addressable parameters.

Special Feature

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.

Versatility

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 eff ects devices and software plug-ins, such as eff ects 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
