[. . . ] The basic logic of the allocation process has been introduced to you in Chapter 3 "CONTROL ELEMENTS". In the following we will offer you more detailed information to enable you to use the UMX even more efficiently. 3) 1) 2) 4. 2. 3 GLOBAL CHANNEL assignment Press the ASSIGN push-button and hold it down. Activate the control element for which the GLOBAL CHANNEL is to be set. If this is a controller or fader, briefly move the control element; when you have decided on a push-button, press this push-button once. The UMX now "knows" to which control element you would like to assign a GLOBAL CHANNEL. Press the key. 4. 2. 1 Setting the GLOBAL CHANNEL The UMX recognizes two separate classifications in regard to MIDI channels. The GLOBAL MIDI CHANNEL is the channel through which all MIDI commands are sent in the factory setting: messages by various control elements, as well as the Note On and Note Off commands. To change this channel, proceed as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Press the ASSIGN push-button and hold it down. In order to discard your assignments, please press the key or press the ASSIGN push-button again. The ASSIGN LED will go off in all 3 cases. 4. 2. 4 The PANIC key combination Imagine that you have been working continuously on one song for several hours and a note suddenly "hangs up". If you now execute a PANIC command, a sound producing device receiving this command becomes silent immediately. Define the GLOBAL CHANNEL by operating one of the keys through on the keyboard. In order to discard your Finally, press the assignments, please press the key or press the ASSIGN push-button again. The factory setting for the GLOBAL CHANNEL is channel 1. Release the ASSIGN push-button. The command "All Notes Off" will be sent immediately after you have pressed one of the two keys. 4. 2. 5 The SNAPSHOT SEND command The SNAPSHOT command triggers the transmission of all parameters including their current values. All control element assignments as well as their temporary settings on the respective channels are transmitted to the MIDI OUT socket and to the USB output of the UMX. It is possible by this method to transfer the complete UMX mapping to a sequencer software at the beginning of a song. This is to make sure the song is played with the last valid controller values. Apart from this, the SNAPSHOT allows you to reset the correct values in an external device where parameters have shifted. Press the push-button on the keyboard. 4. 2. 2 Individual channel assignment The assignment of individual control elements to defined channels is useful if you want to control several external devices independently from each other. Example: You are playing synthesizer A through channel 2 with the keyboard and have a sequencer program controlling another synthesizer B through channel 5.
