U-CONTROL UMA25S User Manual  
1. Introduction  
Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the UMA25S.  
The UMA25S is an extremely flexible master keyboard with a control section that  
can be used for a wide array of applications. Whether you need independent  
control of computer rack synthesizers, General MIDI sound modules and effects  
devices, or want to use the UMA25S for conveniently operating sequencing  
software or computer plug-ins—the UMA25S offers you tremendous ease of use  
and allows you to realize your ideas intuitively.  
USB*  
PC/MAC  
The following user manual is intended to familiarize you with the  
unit’s control elements, so that you can master all the functions.  
After having thoroughly read the user manual, store it at a safe place  
for future reference.  
1.1 Before you get started  
1.1.1 Shipment  
* included  
Fig. 1.1: Power supply via USB  
The UMA25S was carefully packed at the factory to ensure safe transport.  
Nevertheless, if the box is damaged, inspect the unit immediately for signs  
of damage.  
If the unit is damaged please do NOT return it to us, but notify your  
dealer and the shipping company immediately; otherwise, claims for  
damage or replacement may not be granted.  
Use the supplied soft bag to avoid damage during storage  
and transport.  
Make sure that children cannot play unsupervised with the unit or  
its packaging.  
Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials.  
1.1.2 Initial operation  
Ensure adequate air supply, and to avoid overheating, do not place your UMA25S  
on top of a power amplifier or near radiators, etc.  
The UMA25S runs via USB, batteries or an external power adapter.

USB cable (see Fig. 1.1).  
Please note the following points when inserting the batteries:  
Batteries:  
The + symbol of the batteries must coincide with the + symbol of the  
compartment! Incorrect polarity will damage the electronics!  
In case it is not possible to establish the power supply with USB (for example,  
several USB devices are connected to the host computer which may result  
in an overload), you can operate the UMA25S with three 1.5-Volt batteries  
(type “AA”, see Fig. 1.2).  
Do not use old and new batteries together! When replacing batteries,  
always change all 3 batteries at the same time.  
Do not use damaged batteries. The UMA25S might also be damaged because  
of chemical leakage.  
If you do not use the UMA25S for an extended period of time, please remove  
the batteries from the compartment. The batteries could leak and damage  
the device.  
After inserting the batteries, please close the battery compartment and make  
sure the release tab snaps into place.

External power supply:  
1.3 Hardware configuration  
If you neither want to draw the power supply via USB nor power the device with  
batteries, there is yet another possibility to connect the UMA25S to an external  
power supply unit. Please observe the correct operational data (DC 9 V; 200 mA)  
and correct polarity of the connector. Further information can be found above the  
DC input on the rear panel of the device. Reverse polarity may cause damage to  
the electronics.  
To connect the UMA25S to your computer, use the provided USB cable.  
Connect the supplied headset as shown in Fig. 1.3. Optionally, hook up further  
units to the UMA25S as can be seen from the diagram.  
Some headsets may cause interferences (humming). Should this be  
the case, make sure the UMA25S is sufficiently grounded, for example,  
by connecting a grounded mixer to the LINE OUT connectors.  
If necessary, reduce the microphones's input volume level with the  
LEVEL control (19).  
IMPORTANT Installation information:  
The sound quality may diminish within the range of powerful  
broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the  
distance between the transmitter and the device and use shielded  
cables for all connections.

automatically switches to the stand-alone mode. In this mode, you can use the  
UMA25S to control external units via the MIDI output.  
This is the default setting when the device is turned on. If the UMA25S is  
connected to a computer via USB, the keyboard automatically switches to this  
mode. In the USB mode, you can choose between 2 options: MIDI THRU or  
MIDI OUT.

2. Software Installation  
2.1 Driver installation  
With Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X operating systems, the UMA25S is detected  
as soon as you connect a USB cable to your computer. After detection, you can  
kick off right away. Thanks to the implementation of Core Audio in Mac OS X, it is  
possible to process your audio with extremely low latency.  
2.1.1 Windows XP MIDI driver  
Optionally, you can install the BEHRINGER MIDI driver found on the supplied  
CD. The advantage of this driver is its multi-client support, which lets you  
simultaneously use several MIDI programs together with the UMA25S.  
Another advantage is that the model name is displayed in the selection dialog  
box of the MIDI driver.

2.1.2 Windows XP/Vista audio driver  
Optionally, you can also install the BEHRINGER USB ASIO driver, which is  
included on the CD as well. Use this driver in case you want to work with the least  
possible latency of audio signals. Most professional music applications, such as  
Ableton Live and energyXT2 Compact, use ASIO drivers.  
Information on installing the driver is found on the CD in the ReadMe file of the  
according folder.  
2.2 Music software  
The UMA25S comes with a comprehensive software bundle that covers virtually  
all aspects of music production and live performance plus lets you produce your  
own audio podcasts.  
Fig. 1.6: USB mode with MIDI OUT  
In this mode, the keyboard messages are transmitted via USB to the computer  
and simultaneously to MIDI OUT. The messages from the computer are only  
picked up by the UMA25S and not passed on to MIDI OUT.  
2.2.1 Music production  
energyXT2 Compact (on separate CD) gives you a fully professional Digital  
Audio Workstation (DAW) for Mac OS X und Windows XP/Vista operating systems,  
ideal for sophisticated and creative audio and MIDI productions as well as live  
performances. The included application Audacity is simply the universal audio  
editor for Mac and PC. What’s more, you can find so-called hosts, or “hosting”  
applications, on the CD which allow you to load plug-ins (instruments and  
effects) and use these for live performances.  
This mode is ideal for recording your keyboard performance to your computer  
even when your sequencer or virtual instrument produces high latencies. To avoid  
this problem, use a rack synthesizer while recording but the virtual instrument  
during playback. The MIDI messages are sent to the computer and, at the same  
time, to the MIDI output.  
Selecting the USB mode:  
2.2.2 Instruments and effects  
1. Press the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
Many instruments and effects (more than 150 arranged in categories) are found  
in the „Win“ and „Mac“ folders that can be used in the applications described  
in 2.2.1. The scope ranges from virtual analog synthesizers, electric organ  
emulations, pianos, drum machines to high-quality studio effects such as reverb,  
chorus, compressor, delay and many more. But we’ve also added several exotic  
ingredients to spice up your sound. For example, there’s the lo-fi effect, the Tube  
Amp Simulator, the Chinese Flute and the Singing Monk.  
2. Press the key on the keyboard labeled MIDI OUT or MIDI THRU.  
3. Press ENTER to confirm or EDIT/EXIT to cancel.  
The selected USB mode is now active and the keyboard automatically switches  
back to Play Mode.  
2.2.3 Podcasting software  
As a special bonus, we’ve thrown in the proven and popular podcasting software  
bundle, giving you the tools you need to make your own podcasts—from the  
first spark of an idea to uploading your final podcast. As for the supplied headset,  
you can use it to capture spontaneous ideas or comment on your own music.

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.  
(9) The PITCH BEND wheel (E17) lets you change the pitch in real time. This way

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.  
The UMA25S provides a professional recording interface between mixer and  
computer when used alongside a suitable mixer. This type of setup allows you  
to record several signals onto the computer and to play several recorded takes or  
playbacks simultaneously. Additionally, it lets you listen to the entire recording  
on loudspeakers (or headphones). Figure 4.1 shows a possible setup with  
the UMA25S.

into the PHONES output on the UMA25S or into the headphone output on the  
mixer. Use the supplied USB cable to connect your computer by way of the  
USB port.  
By routing the channels you want to record to the subgroups, it is now possible  
to use the mixer’s channels to record one instrument after the other onto your  
computer. If you connect the outputs of the UMA25S to the free channel inputs  
(not via TAPE INPUT), make sure that the signal is not switched to the subgroup  
but to the main output of your mixer to avoid feedback. Be also sure to select the  
correct monitoring paths in the Control Room section on the mixing console.  
If you feed the UMA25S back through a channel input (not TAPE INPUT), you can  
set up an additional monitor mix for performing musicians by using the Aux Send  
(for example, Aux 1) of the specific channel. In case the musicians want to hear  
themselves as well as the playback or previous recording takes, use the Aux Sends  
in the recording channels to mix the recording signals with the monitor mix.

5. UMA25S as USB/MIDI Controller  
5.1.2 Storing presets  
At the highest control level of the U-CONTROL, you play and control the MIDI  
data (Play Mode). The UMA25S has an array of control elements with which you  
can control your MIDI equipment via the MIDI output (22) or with which you are  
able to control your computer applications via USB (using the MIDI standard).  
Most Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) are capable of receiving control data  
according to MIDI specifications.  
1. Press the EDIT/EXIT push button (6) for a second.  
2. Press the key with the STORE function. “Str” appears on the display,  
representing the Store function.  
3. Press one of the 8 push buttons E1–E8 or turn one of the rotary knobs  
E9–E16 to select the memory location in which you want to store  
your preset.  
The controls comprise keyboard, Pitch Bend and Modulation wheel, Volume control  
slider, 8 rotary knobs, 8 push buttons as well as Sustain and Expression pedals.  
4. Press the ENTER key to confirm.  
You can also select the memory locations 1 to 8 using your keyboard  
(keys labeled with the numbers 1–8). The memory locations 9 to 16 can  
only be selected using the rotary knobs.  
Display:  
The current firmware version appears on the screen as soon as the keyboard is  
switched on, after which the current preset number is shown. When moving a  
control element, the value changes are displayed.  
The EDIT LED goes out.  
If you want to overwrite the current preset, press the STORE key and then the  
ENTER key (skip step 3).  
Control elements:  
It is possible to use more than one button, knob, slider, etc., at the same time and  
that their data are simultaneously sent via MIDI.  
You can cancel the storing process by pressing the EXIT push button.  
We intentionally did not include an auto-store function. This way you can assign  
a different MIDI message to a control element without changing the current  
preset. If you want to restore a preset, simply load another preset and then  
return to the old preset. All data have now been restored, including the default  
function of the control element that had been changed for the time being.  
In principle, there are two options for assigning control elements:  
You are using one of the presets with the default controller configuration  
(see Table 7.3). In this case, you need to specify the assignments on the  
receiving device.  
You are you using your own controller configuration that you created in Edit  
Mode. Find out how to make assignments on the UMA25S in Chapter 5.4.

2. Turn the E14 rotary knob. The display shows “FAC” (for Factory Reset).  
3. Press the ENTER key to confirm.  
Caution! With Factory Reset, all configured data and user presets  
are irreversibly deleted! To avoid an accidental deletion, save your  
presets by sending a SysEx dump to your computer beforehand  
(see Chapter 5.7).  
5.1 Presets  
The UMA25S has 16 memory locations to store your own presets. You can find the  
settings of the default presets (Table 7.4) in the appendix. The most recently used  
preset is loaded when the device is switched on.  
You can cancel the process by pressing the EXIT push button.  
5.1.1 Loading presets  
5.2 Real-time control using the  
control elements  
There are several ways to load a preset:  
Selecting presets directly:  
The UMA25S’ possibilities of application are extremely versatile. The following  
gives a couple of general instructions and examples to help you get started as  
quick as possible.  
Press the PRESET push button for a second and select the preset you want  
to use with the push buttons E1 – E8. The new preset number is shown on  
the display.  
What exactly does the UMA25S do?  
or:  
Simply put, it’s a remote control for all kinds of MIDI equipment. An entire array  
of control messages can be generated by the keyboard, slider, rotary knobs and  
push buttons as well as the foot pedals. These control elements allow you to  
control various functions of external devices (hardware and software) in real  
time. That’s particularly the case with software mixers, sound generators  
and effects. The software applications are often copies of “real” gear—their  
functionality simulated and displayed on the computer.  
Press and hold down the Preset push button while pressing the key (1–8)  
with the number of the preset you want to use. The new preset number is  
shown on the display.  
Selecting presets by manually stepping up or down:

between them is the wiring.  
1. Press the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
Below are a couple of suggestions on how you can use your UMA25S:  
2. Turn the E9 rotary knob completely to the right. “crV” (which stands for  
Playing external sound generators (for example, MIDI sound modules,  
rack synthesizers and virtual instruments)  
Velocity Curve) appears on the display.  
3. Select the desired velocity curve with the E11 rotary knob. You can select one  
Editing sound parameters of (virtual) synthesizers, sound samplers and  
GM/GS/XG sound generators

These settings need not be saved.  
Controlling program changes and volume level on sound generators  
Suitable for band keyboardists, DJs, sound engineers, home and project  
studio owners, theater technicians, etc.  
5.2.2 The octave and transpose functions  
The OCT </> push buttons can be used to shift the pitch in octave intervals.  
This is useful because the UMA25S consists only of 25 keys, whereas the MIDI  
specification includes 128 notes. In case you want to play a bass line, it can be  
useful to move the keyboard range downward.  
And how does it work?  
Each control element of the UMA25S can be assigned to particular MIDI  
parameters. Assignments are carried out in Edit Mode (see Chapters 5.3 and  
5.4). Whenever one of these control elements is used, the UMA25S generates  
the control data assigned to this control element which are then transferred  
to external devices over a data link. For this reason, the VOLUME slider is set by  
default to send data that controls the volume level of a channel, for example.  
Alternatively, the OCT </> push buttons can be used to tranpose notes in  
semitones so that you can play a piece in a key that works for you. In order to do  
so, you need to adjust the settings in Edit Mode.  
When the power is turned on, the Octave function is active by default.  
The control data generated by the individual control elements are also referred  
to as MIDI messages. Generally, MIDI messages can be divided into three  
major groups:  
Octave function:  
Use the OCTAVE </> push buttons to shift the keyboard’s playing range up to  
4 octaves.  
Channel Messages: These messages are used to transmit channel-specific  
control information. An example of a channel message is the Note On  
message. As soon as a key is played on the UMA25S’ keyboard, the device  
generates a message which holds the information for pitch, channel number  
and velocity. This way the receiving sound generator recognizes which tone  
has to be played.  
Press OCT> to play the keyboard an octave higher. The OCT> LED lights up.  
Press OCT< to play the keyboard an octave lower. The OCT< LED lights up.  
Press OCT< and OCT> at the same time to return to the default octave range.  
System Messages: These messages are not channel- specific, but affect  
the entire system to which they are sent. They are divided into three  
subcategories: System Exclusive Messages (for operating system backup,  
updates and management of memory contents); System Real-Time  
Messages (for remote control of other devices, etc.); System Common  
Messages (for synchronizing several devices, etc.).  
The status of the Octave function is indicated by the glowing (1 octave)  
and flashing (2 and more octaves) of the respective push button’s LED.  
When the power is turned on, the default octave range is restored.  
Activating the Octave function (OCT ASSIGN):  
When the Transpose function is active, you activate the Octave function  
as follows:  
Control Messages: These are also known as Control Changes or  
Controllers, abbreviated to “CC”. There are 128 controllers in total,  
numbered from 0 to 127 (refer to the table of controllers in the appendix).  
The controllers are channel-specific.  
Press the EDIT/EXIT push button. The device switches to Edit Mode.  
The EDIT LED lights up.  
MIDI information consists of control data and contains no audible audio  
data! The data transmission takes place over 16 channels.  
Press the OCT +/– key to select the Octave function.  
Press the ENTER key to confirm. The device switches back to Play Mode  
(EDIT LED goes out).

13 U-CONTROL UMA25S User Manual  
Transpose function:  
5.2.4 The panic function  
Use the OCTAVE </> push buttons to transpose upward or downward in  
semitone steps.  
The Panic function is provided to silence stuck MIDI notes. A MIDI note can get  
stuck when the connection between the sending and the receiving device is  
interrupted for some reason or other and the required Note Off message cannot  
be received. This is perceived as a stuck note that doesn’t fade out.  
Press the OCT > to transpose upward in semitone steps.  
Press OCT < to transpose downward in semitone steps.  
Press OCT < and OCT > simultaneously to return to the default key.  
So, if you execute the Panic command, an “All Notes Off”, an “All Sound Off” and  
a “Sustain Pedal Off” message is sent over all 16 channels. This way all connected  
sound generators are silenced on the spot, after which you can continue your  
work as usual.  
The status of the Transpose function is indicated by the glowing  
(1 semitone) and flashing (2 and more semitones) of the respective  
push button’s LED.  
Press both push buttons (7) (+/–) at the same time to trigger a Panic  
command. “Pnc” appears on the display for a short time.  
When the power is turned on, the default key is restored.  
5.2.5 The mute function  
Press the MUTE push button (4). Its LED lights up.  
Selecting the Transpose function:  
When the Octave function is active, you activate the Transpose function as follows:  
The Mute function lets you suppress sending MID messages. This way you can  
change the positions of control elements without affecting the current settings of  
the receiving device. However, value changes are shown on the display provided  
it is active for the control element being moved.  
Press the EDIT/EXIT push button. The device switches to Edit Mode. The EDIT  
LED lights up.  
Press the TRANSP +/– key to select the Transpose function.  
Press the ENTER key to confirm. The device switches back to Play Mode  
(EDIT LED goes out).  
Press the MUTE push button again. Its LED goes out.  
The Mute function does not affect the push buttons E1–E8 and the  
Sustain pedal.  
Octave settings, which have possibly been made, are maintained when  
switching over to the Transpose function.  
5.3 Assignment of control elements using the  
learn function  
The easiest way to assign MIDI functions to individual control elements is to use  
the Learn function over remote assignment. For example, MIDI data sent from a  
MIDI sequencer to your U-CONTROL are assigned to a control element in advance.  
5.2.3 The MMC function  
The control elements E1 to E8 have been preconfigured to control MIDI Machine  
Control (MMC) messages, and they are activated by pressing the MMC push  
button (3).  
Press the MMC push button to activate the MMC function. The push button  
LED lights up.  
Not only CC, NRPN and Note messages can be received with the Learn function,  
but almost any type of MIDI data including short SysEx strings.  
The MMC functions that are assigned to the control elements by default are  
as follows:  
1. Press and hold down the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
2. Operate the control element that is supposed to learn the MIDI function.  
3. Release the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
E1 Loop: Activates the playback loop feature of the controlled music  
software application.  
E2 Locate: Jumps to the beginning of the track.  
E3 REW: Rewinds.  
4. Press the LEARN key. “Lrn” appears on the display while the MIDI device  
waits for an external MIDI message.  
5. Transmit the MIDI message to the UMA25S from the device you want  
to control.  
E4 FFW: Fast-forwards.  
E5 Stop: Stops playback. By pressing Play (E7) again, the track is played from  
the beginning.  
6. If valid MIDI data are received, the display shows “Gd!” (good). If invalid,  
incorrect or too long, “Err” (error) appears on the display.  
E6 Pause: Pauses playback. By pressing Play (E7) again, the track is played  
from the current position.  
7a. Press the ENTER key to confirm.  
7b. Alternatively, press the EDIT/EXIT push button to cancel the changes made.  
The device switches to Play Mode (EDIT LED goes out).  
E7 Play: Plays back.  
E8 Punch In: Records.  
All settings made with this function are stored temporarily! If you  
want to store the settings permanently, save them in a preset  
(see Chapter 5.1.2).  
In case your sequencer does not support receiving MMC messages, you can  
probably control the transport section using note numbers or CC messages.  
The MMC messages can be assigned to the 8 push buttons E1 – E8 in such a way  
that the assigned functions are maintained independent of preset specification.  
These functions are also preserved after the device is switched off and can be  
activated at all times by simply pressing the MMC push button. This means  
that the push buttons E1 – E8 can each share two functions: first, the function  
assigned within a preset, and second, the assigned function that coincides with  
presets as soon as the MMC push button is activated.  
Assigning the 8 push buttons is described in Chapter 5.4. You simply have to press  
the MMC push button (LED lights up) before activating Edit Mode.

MIDI Data Type:  
The E9 rotary knob lets you select the message type that is to be assigned to a  
control element. Refer to Chapter 5.5 for information on MIDI messages.  
Example of the Learn function:  
In order to control the main volume level of a virtual instrument with  
the E19 slider, follow the steps below:  
MIDI Send Channel:  
1. Press and hold the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
2. Move the E19 slider.  
The E10 rotary knob allows you to select the MIDI channel on which the  
message is supposed to be sent. When Channel 0 is selected, the message is sent  
on the GLOBAL SEND CHANNEL (see Chapter 5.7).  
3. Release the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
4. Press the LEARN key.  
Parameter, Value 1, Value 2:  
The rotary knobs E11 to E13 allow you to adjust the parameters and the  
corresponding values of the selected MIDI message. The parameters vary  
according to the MIDI message (see Chapter 5.5).  
5. Now move the volume control of the software instrument with  
your computer’s mouse.  
6. When “Gd!” appears on the display, press the ENTER key.  
7. To save these settings, store them in a preset.  
Controller Mode:  
The E14 rotary knob is provided to determine the switch behavior of the  
selected control element. This option is only available for switch elements  
(push buttons).  
5.4 Assignment of control messages in  
edit mode  
It is possible to specify settings that are different from the presets. To do so,  
you need to determine which control elements on the UMA25S generate which  
MIDI messages.  
The control push buttons support the controller modes “Toggle On”, “Toggle Off”  
and “Increment”. Toggle On is comparable to a switching function (for example,  
the light switch of a room). The “On” value, which is specified with the E12  
rotary knob (value 1), is sent by pressing the push button the first time. Press the  
push button a second time to send the “Off” value, which is specified with the  
E13 rotary knob (value 2). This setting is ideal for triggering drumloops from a

2. Use the control element you want to edit. The name of the control shows up  
on the display (for example, “E10”).  
The Increment option is only available for the messages Program Change, CC,  
NRPN and After Touch. This mode allows a stepwise increment of the controller  
value each time the push button is pressed. Use E15 to adjust the step interval.  
3. Release the EDIT/EXIT push button. Its LED lights up.  
4. Use the rotary knobs E9 – E16 to assign the MIDI messages to the selected  
control element. The applicable MIDI messages and their descriptions are  
found in the tables of Chapter 5.5.  
Controller Option:  
Select the controller mode “Increment” to determine the step interval of the  
push buttons by using the E15 rotary knob. This means that each time you  
press one of the push buttons, the transmitted value is increased by the step  
interval you specified in advance. If the step interval is set to “10,” values 0,  
10, 20, 30 ... 110, 120, 0, 10, etc. are sent one after another. You can also enter  
negative values (for example, -10) to achieve a gradual decrement. In case you  
have specified the lowest and highest transmittable values using the E12 and E13  
rotary knobs, all other values stay within this range. With this function, you can  
In case you want to check the current parameter settings, press the  
push button (E1–E8) found under the rotary knob whose function you  
want to examine. As soon as the push button is pressed, the settings  
appear on the display for a short time. Alternatively, use the Show  
Element function (see Chapter 5.6.1).

Display Value:  
Use the E16 rotary knob to determine whether value changes are to be  
displayed on screen or not. If you decide to use the display for this purpose,  
you can see the current values while using the control element. The preset  
number reappears shortly after letting go of the control element.  
The various MIDI functions are described in detail in Chapter 5.5.

15 U-CONTROL UMA25S User Manual  
5.5 MIDI messages  
Examples of Program Changes:  
Example 1:  
5.5.1 Program change and midi bank select  
Program Change messages are used to activate the memory banks of the  
connected devices. 128 program numbers are available to activate presets.  
For devices with more than 128 presets, there is the Bank Select function which  
allows you to select a memory bank before sending a Program Change.  
You want the push buttons E1 – E8 to switch the program numbers  
71–78 of your external rack synth. Program the first push button  
as follows:  
The Bank Select message consists of two parts: an MSB (Most Significant Bit)  
part and an LSB (Least Significant Bit) part. The MSB part defines a range of 128  
values and is the more important part of the Bank Select message for many MIDI  
devices. The LSB part defines each one of the 128 MSBs in 128 additional steps.  
The numbering for both parts ranges from 0 to 127.  
1. Press and hold down the EDIT/EXIT push button while pressing  
the E1 push button. When E01 appears on the display, release the  
EDIT/EXIT push button.  
2. Turn E9 completely to the left so that the display shows “PC”  
(which stands for Program Change).  
In total, the Bank Select message offers an enormous range of 128 x 128 = 16,384  
different values available for bank numbers. In theory, this means that you could  
use external devices with as many different banks. Considering the fact that each  
single bank includes another 128 single programs, you get unbelievable 2,097,152  
different possibilities to organize your programs.  
3. Use E10 to select the MIDI channel on which your synth is ready  
to receive.  
4. Turn E11 and E12 completely to the right so that “OFF” appears on  
the display.  
Use the E11 and E12 rotary knobs to select the banks. If a MIDI device contains  
more than 128 presets/programs, a Bank Select message has to be sent  
beforehand. Even though this is a controller command, it has to be sent before  
the Program Change (and is therefore adjustable) since it is linked to the preset  
change. If the Bank Select message is not needed, simply select “Off”.  
5. Select the program number 71 by using E13.  
6. Select “Single Preset” by using E14.  
7. If the program number is to show on the display when pressing the  
push button, select “ON” with E16.  
If you choose a control which is a rotary knob, you can use the knob  
to select a program number directly. It is also possible to assign a  
permanent program number (selectable with E13), which is sent when  
using the control. For push buttons/switch elements, you can use  
the push button to select a permanently assigned program number  
(using E13). This is practical when using the same preset over and over  
again. Adjust the switch behavior by using E14: “Increment” means that every  
time you press the push button the next incremental preset number—in a  
predefined interval—is activated. “Single Preset” means that the push button  
always switches to the same preset number.  
8. Press the ENTER key to confirm. The EDIT LED goes out.  
Result: Each time you press the push button, the program number 71 is  
activated on the slave unit.  
Program the push buttons E2 – E8 the same way with ascending  
program numbers up to 78.  
Example 2:  
In case you want to program a push button in order for it to activate  
a new preset every time it is pressed, this can be accomplished in  
the following way: E11 = Off, E12 = 0; E13 = 127; E14 = Increment;  
E15 = +8.  
Table A.1 on the supplementary sheet gives you an overview of the  
rotary knob assignment in Edit Mode.  
Result: The program number 0 is transmitted the first time the push  
button is pressed, 8 the second time, 16 the third time, then 24, etc.  
This way you can select each first preset of a sound bank, which is  
organized in groups of eight.  
Example 3:  
In case you want to activate preset no. 6 in bank 8, adjust as follows:  
E11 = 8, E12 = Off, E13 = 6.  
Result: First, the UMA25S transmits the higher ranking bank  
number 8 as CC, followed by the program number 6.

buttons, sliders and rotary knobs, the controller values can be controlled either  
statically or dynamically in real time. A list of the assigned standard controller  
numbers are found in Table A.1 of the supplementary sheet.  
An NRPN is used when none of the standardized 127 controller numbers have the  
necessary function.  
Select the parameter number using the E11 rotary knob (see Table 7.3 in the  
The Controller message consists of a controller number and the included  
appendix). Just like the CC messages, the value range can be adjusted with the  
controller values. The E11 rotary knob is used to determine the controller number. E12 (minimum value) and E13 (maximum value) rotary knobs (see Chapter 5.5.4).  
Continuous elements allow you to define the value range with the E12  
(minimum value) and E13 (maximum value) rotary knobs.  
Table A.3 on the supplementary sheet gives you an overview of the  
rotary knob assignment in Edit Mode.  
Alternatively, you can invert the value scale by assigning 127 as the  
minimum value and 0 as the maximum value (scale inversion). A classic  
application of scale inversion is the drawbar control of virtual or digital  
organs or organ expanders. In this manner, assign the controller 07  
5.5.4 Note messages  
Playing notes on the keyboard:

the signal. On the other hand, moving down the fader corresponds to  
moving out the drawbars which increases the volume level.  
Thanks to them, the UMA25S can be used to play external sound modules and  
virtual instruments. The value range for Note messages consists of 128 (0 – 127)  
note numbers. Although the UMA25S only has 25 keys, the entire keyboard range  
is covered using the Octave function. The velocity corresponds to the volume level  
of a velocity-sensitive (piano) keyboard. Even though the Note Off message is not  
used that much anymore by keyboardists, the U-CONTROL is able to transmit this  
status byte.  
Switch elements allow you to send different values when pressing and  
releasing the push buttons (use the E12 and E13 rotary knobs to adjust). This is a  
useful function when sending fixed parameter settings. The switch behavior is  
adjusted with E14, and the step interval for the Increment function is adjusted  
with E15.  
To play the keyboard, no assignment in Edit Mode is required.  
However, you have the possibility to send Note messages with the push  
buttons (switch elements) and to specify the pitch of the keys.  
CC messages triggered by keys:  
In case you want to assign CC messages to push buttons, but all switch elements  
have already been assigned otherwise, you can use the keys on the keyboard.  
For more information, read Chapter 5.5.9.  
Triggering Note messages using push buttons  
(switch elements):  
Table A.2 on the supplementary sheet gives you an overview of the  
rotary knob assignment in Edit Mode.  
The UMA25S is able to send Note messages from the push buttons or the  
footswitch in order to trigger drum loops and single sounds from a sampler,  
for example. Many effects units allow you to tap delay times or song tempos  
using Note messages. Since the push buttons are not velocity sensitive,  
the transmitted velocity information is a fix value in this case, which is adjusted  
with E12.  
Examples of assigning controllers  
(CC, NRPN, GS/XG):  
You want to use the E9 rotary knob to adjust the resonance frequency of  
a virtual analog synthesizer in real time. Follow the steps below:  
The Note number is specified using the E11 rotary knob. The Note C3 (middle C)  
corresponds to the MIDI note value 60 (see also Table 7.2). The E12 rotary knob  
allows you to adjust the velocity. E14 lets you specify the switch behavior  
(Toggle On/Off). Turn E15 to discard the settings and return to the standard  
keyboard assignment (reset function; display shows “reS”).  
1. Press and hold down the EDIT/EXIT push button and turn the E9  
rotary knob. As soon as E09 appears on the display, release the  
EDIT/EXIT push button.  
2. Select the desired type of MIDI message (CC, NRPN, GS/XG)  
by using E9.  
It is not possible to assign Note messages to continuous  
control elements.  
3. Use E10 to select the MIDI channel on which your instrument is

ready to receive.  
This function allows you to specify the pitch of each key on the keyboard.  
For more information, read Chapter 5.5.9.  
4. Select the controller number (or the controller name for GS/XG)  
by using E11. If the MIDI implementation of your instrument  
follows the standard assignment, this should be number 74.  
Table A.4 on the supplementary sheet gives you an overview of the  
rotary knob assignment in Edit Mode.  
5. Turn E12 completely to the left and E13 completely to the right in  
order not to limit the control range of 0 to 127.  
6. If a value is to show on the display when using a rotary knob,  
select “ON” with E16.  
7. Press the ENTER key to confirm.  
Result: By turning the E9 rotary knob, you can change the  
resonance frequency of the instrument in real time.

5.5.5 Pitch bend  
5.5.9 Using keys as control elements  
The Pitch Bend wheel E17 on the UMA25S is used to change the pitch of a note.  
It has its own type of message in the MIDI specification.  
Not only the switch elements but also the keys on the keyboard can trigger  
CC messages and Note messages. The advantage is that you don’t have to do  
without the familiar feel of keys and velocity sensitivity. This means you have  
25 more switch elements at your fingertips, with Note numbers that are freely  
assignable (which is different to standard keyboard assignments). This is useful  
when extracting individual drum sounds from a fixed assignment (for example,  
a General MIDI drum set) in order to map them to adjacent keys, even when the  
sounds are octaves apart. Another option is to map the notes of a melody to  
adjacent keys in order to play the melody literally in sequence.  
The Pitch Wheel message can also be assigned to other continuous elements  
(such as slider, knobs and expression pedal). This message has its own status  
byte, so that it is only possible to adjust the MIDI channel (E10 rotary knob),  
the range (E12 rotary knob) and the display (E16).  
Table A.5 on the supplementary sheet gives you an overview of the  
rotary knob assignment in Edit Mode.

MIDI keyboards with after-touch are able to respond to pressure, even after the  
key is hit, and to transmit this information. The function affects either specific

the normal assignment of the keyboard (Reset function; “reS” on display).  
Triggering CC messages with keys:  
Normally, the key value “All” is selected. This setting makes after-touch equally  
affect all played notes (“Channel Pressure”). In case you want to use the less  
common polyphonic after-touch (“Key Pressure”), you can apply after-touch to  
single keys by using the E11 rotary knob. However, since this is only supported  
by very few sound generators, Channel Pressure usually does the job. For the  
selected switch element, use E12 to determine the value at which after-touch  
turns on and E13 to determine the value at which it turns off. This way you can  
also use after-touch to adjust the modulation range (effect depth).  
The data structure corresponds to that of the CC messages for switching  
elements, which can be played either with a fix value (0 – 127) or with the  
Velocity of the keyboard (E12 rotary knob). The switch behavior is determined  
with E14. Turn E15 to discard the settings (“reS” on display).  
Table A.9 on the supplementary sheet gives you an overview of the  
rotary knob assignment in Edit Mode.  
Table A.6 on the supplementary sheet gives you an overview of the  
rotary knob assignment in Edit Mode.  
Selecting multiple keys for the  
Key Trigger function:  
A special feature of the keyboard assignment lets you select multiple  
keys at the same time. This helps you save time when assigning  
messages, some of which are identical, or MIDI channels to different  
keys. In a second step you can assign different MIDI channels,  
Note values and Controller values to individual keys.  
5.5.7 MIDI machine control (MMC)  
MIDI Machine Control allows you to operate the transport functions of a  
sequencer or drum machine (for example, Start, Stop, Fast Forward and Rewind)  
from the UMA25S.  
The MIDI Machine Control functions are dedicated to the control push buttons  
E1 – E8 (see Chapter 5.2.3) and are activated by pressing the MMC push  
button (3). You can specify the MIDI device number of the unit supposed to  
receive MMC data by using the E10 knob. For the Locate function, it is necessary  
to specify the position. In order to do so, the Frame Rate you are using has to be  
entered in Global Setup (Chapter 5.7).  
1. Press and hold down the EDIT/EXIT push button. The device  
switches to Edit Mode.  
2. Press the keys that you want to edit one after another. You can  
either select consecutive keys or choose a range of the keyboard  
with a sliding movement (glissando). It is also possible to select  
single, non-consecutive keys. The Note numbers you choose are  
now shown on the display in the order in which they are pressed.  
Table A.7 on the supplementary sheet gives you an overview of the  
rotary knob assignment in Edit Mode.  
3. Release the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
5.5.8 GS/XG parameters  
4. With the rotary knobs, you can carry out the assignment of the  
MIDI messages for the selected keys.  
GS/XG parameters belong to the category of CC and NRPN messages specified  
in the MIDI standards GM (General MIDI), GS (Roland) and XG (Yamaha)  
(see Table 7.1). These standards also include dedicated program numbers for  
certain sounds. If you have a sound module that supports one of the standards,  
assigning parameters is as easy as it gets.  
5. Press the ENTER key to confirm.  
6. Save the assignments as preset.  
The data have a similar structure to that of CC and NRPN messages. Use the  
E11 rotary knob to select the most important GS/XG-compatible parameters,  
which are shown on the display as (shortened) plain text (see Table 7.1).  
Just like the CC messages, the value range can be adjusted with the rotary knobs  
E12 (minimum value) and E13 (maximum value).
