Controls

(1)

The keyboard of the UMA25S has 25 velocity-

sensitive, full-size keys with half action.

(2)

The

OCT

</> push buttons allow you to shift

the keyboard range up to 4 octaves up or

down. These push buttons are also used for

trans position.

(3)

Press the

MMC

push button to use the default

MMC (MIDI Machine Control) functions of the

control elements E1 to E8. The MMC functions

are printed on these control elements.

(4)

Press the

MUTE

push button to suppress

sending MIDI messages. This allows you to

move control elements without changing the

parameter values.

(5)

Press the

PRESET

push button to load

a preset.

(6)

Press the

EDIT/EXIT

push button once to

switch to Edit Mode. By pressing the button

a second time, you exit Edit Mode without

having accepted any changes.

(7)

The –/+ push buttons let you select a preset.

Press both buttons at the same time to silence

stuck MIDI notes (

PANIC

).

(8)

The 3-digit LED display briefl y indicates the

current fi rmware version when the keyboard

is switched on, after which the selected

preset number is displayed. In Play Mode, the

display shows the value changes in real time

when operating the control elements. In Edit

Mode, the display shows the MIDI commands,

program and channel numbers as well as

parameter values.

(9)

The

PITCH BEND

wheel (E17) lets you change

the pitch in real time. This way a tone can

be bent several semitones up or down while

playing. The desired pitch interval is adjusted

on the controlled device. The PITCH BEND

wheel returns to the center position as soon as

you let go of it.

(10)

The

MOD WHEEL

(E18) works like a typical

modulation wheel (MIDI CC 1). When you

let go of the modulation wheel, it keeps the

set value.

(11)

The

VOLUME

slider (E19) controls the volume

(MIDI Controller 07).

(12)

The push buttons

E1 – E8

can have any MIDI

functions assigned to them. By pressing

the

MMC

push button

(3)

once, these push

buttons use the preconfi gured transport

control functions.

(13)

The 8 high-resolution rotary knobs

E9 – E16

generate Continuous Controller messages. In

Edit Mode, the rotary knobs can be assigned

to any controller number.

(14)

If the Direct Monitor function is turned on

(press switch

(15)

), the MIX control allows

you to adjust the volume level balance

between the recording signal and the

playback signal.

(15)

The

MONITOR ON/OFF

switch activates

the Direct Monitor function. The recording

signal found at the MIC or LINE input is fed to

the output connectors LINE OUT and PHONES

in order to avoid latency and the resulting

timing problems while recording.

(16)

The

LEVEL

control lets you adjust the

volume level of the headphone signal. Turn

the control completely to the left before

plugging in the headphones to avoid

damage due to high volume levels.

(17)

Plug the green headphone connector of

the supplied headset into the

PHONES

connector.

(18)

Plug the red connector of the headset

or any dynamic microphone into the

MIC IN

connector.

(19)

The

LEVEL

control adjusts the input volume

of the microphone signal. Make sure the

input signal does not clip (distortion).

(20)

The

LINE OUT

connector lets you connect

RCA audio cables.

(21)

The

LINE IN

connector lets you connect RCA

audio cables.

(22)

MIDI OUT

allows the UMA25S to connect to

a computer. On the other hand, it provides

a connection to additional MIDI devices,

making the UMA25S a full-fl edged MIDI

interface for the host computer next to its

master keyboard functionality.

(23)

The

EXPRESSION

connector lets you

hook up a foot pedal which can be used to

control assignable MIDI data. The foot pedal

typically controls the volume level, which is

then referred to as expression pedal, but can

also be used to control a fi lter’s cutoff

frequency or even a typical wah eff ect.

(24)

The

SUSTAIN

connector allows you to

connect a Sustain pedal. This connector is

assigned by default to the MIDI parameter

“Damper Pedal” (Sustain, CC 64), which

represents a switch controller. When the

pedal is pressed (and held) while in normal

Play Mode, it generates a controller with the

value 127. As soon as the pedal is released,

the controller jumps to the value 0 (which is

the typical behavior of a piano’s sustain

pedal). Aside from this, you can assign the

pedal connector to any MIDI controller as is

the case with the push buttons.

(25)

This is the

USB

connector on the UMA25S.

The connector (type B) on the device is

connected to a free port (type A) on the

host computer using the supplied cable.

It is compatible with both USB 1.1 and

USB 2.0 standards.

(26)

Use the

DC IN

connector to supply the

UMA25S with power from an external power

adapter (not included).

(27)

The

POWER

switch is used to turn the

UMA25S on and off . Be sure the POWER

switch is turned to the “Off ” position when

connecting to the mains.
