U-CONTROL UMA25S  
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.  
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.

U-CONTROL UMA25S  
1.3.2 USB mode (default)  
1.3.1 Stand-alone mode  
In case the USB connection is not available or detected, the  
UMA25S 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.  
1. USB mode with MIDI THRU (default):  
MIDI THRU  
Fig. 1.4: Stand-alone mode  
Fig. 1.5: USB mode with MIDI THRU  
In this mode, the keyboard messages are sent to the computer  
via USB. The messages from the computer are transmitted to the  
UMA25S (data reception) and simultaneously to all MIDI units  
which are connected to MIDI OUT. This mode is ideal for playing  
the keyboard and controlling further MIDI hardware (samplers,  
rack synthesizers, etc.) with the sequencer.

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.  
Information on installing the driver is found on the CD in the  
ReadMe file of the according folder.  
Find more software and driver updates at  
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.  
Fig. 1.6: USB mode with MIDI OUT  
2.2 Music software  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Selecting the USB mode:  
1.  
Press the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
2.  
Press the key on the keyboard labeled MIDI OUT or MIDI  
THRU.  
3.  
Press ENTER to confirm or EDIT/EXIT to cancel.  
2.2.2 Instruments and effects  
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.  
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. For details, refer to the included podcast quick-start  
guide.

U-CONTROL UMA25S  
3. Controls and connections  
Fig. 3.1: Top view of the UMA25S  
The keyboard of the UMA25S has 25 velocity-sensitive,  
full-size keys with half action.  
The PITCH BEND wheel, the modulation wheel and  
the VOLUME slider are not restricted to their  
preconfigured functions, but can also have other  
control functions assigned to them.  
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 transposition (see Chapter 5.2.2).  
The push buttons E1 – E8 can have any MIDI functions  
assigned to them. By pressing the MMC push button  
once, these push buttons use the preconfigured transport  
control functions (see Chapter 5.5.7).  
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.  
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.  
Press the MUTE push button to suppress sending MIDI  
messages. This allows you to move control elements  
without changing the parameter values.  
Press the PRESET push button to load a preset.  
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.  
The –/+ push buttons let you select a preset. Press both  
buttons at the same time to silence stuck MIDI notes (PANIC).  
Fig. 3.2: Audio connectors on the rear panel  
The 3-digit LED display briefly indicates the current  
firmware 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.  
If the Direct Monitor function is turned on (press switch  
), the MIX control allows you to adjust the volume level  
balance between the recording signal and the playback  
signal.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Plug the green headphone connector of the supplied headset  
into the PHONES connector.  
The VOLUME slider (E19) controls the volume (MIDI  
Controller 07).  
Plug the red connector of the headset or any dynamic  
microphone into the MIC IN connector.

The LEVEL control adjusts the input volume of the  
microphone signal. Make sure the input signal does not clip  
(distortion).  
4. UMA25S as audio interface  
To prevent unwanted noise, always be sure that  
the input volume level is turned down to MIN when  
a microphone is not being used.  
The LINE OUT connector lets you connect RCA audio  
cables.  
The LINE IN connector lets you connect RCA audio cables.  
Fig. 3.3: Rear panel connectors  
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-fledged MIDI  
interface for the host computer next to its master keyboard  
functionality.  
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 filter’s cutoff frequency or even a typical wah  
effect.  
* included  
Fig. 4.1: Using the audio connectors  
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.  
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.  
Connect the subgroup outputs with the inputs of the UMA25S. It  
is possible to connect either the TAPE INPUT connectors or your  
monitor speakers to the outputs of the interface. For monitoring  
purposes, plug the stereo headphones 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.  
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.  
Use the DC IN connector to supply the UMA25S with power  
from an external power adapter (not included).  
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.  
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.  
Please close all software applications before  
turning off the UMA25S or disconnecting the USB  
cable while the computer is on.  
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.

5.1 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  
There are several ways to load a preset:  
5.2 Real-time control using the control elements  
Selecting presets directly:  
V
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.  
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.  
or:  
What exactly does the UMA25S do?  
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.  
V
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:  
V
Select a preset with the +/– push buttons (  
) found  
below the display. The new preset number is shown on  
the display. Make sure that none of the push buttons  
to

What can I control with the UMA25S?  
Basically, you can control any device that is MIDI compatible.  
Both hardware and software MIDI devices are controlled in exactly  
the same way. The only difference between them is the wiring.  
V
Press and hold down the PRESET push button while turning  
one of the rotary knobs E9 – E16. The preset number is

And how does it work?  
These settings need not be saved.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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.  
V
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.  
When the power is turned on, the Octave function  
is active by default.  
Octave function:  
Use the OCTAVE </> push buttons to shift the keyboard’s playing  
range up to 4 octaves.  
V
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.).

Press OCT< and OCT> at the same time to return to the  
default octave range.  
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.  
V
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.  
When the power is turned on, the default octave  
range is restored.  
MIDI information consists of control data and  
contains no audible audio data! The data trans-  
mission takes place over 16 channels.  
Activating the Octave function (OCT ASSIGN):  
When the Transpose function is active, you activate the Octave  
function as follows:  
V
Press the EDIT/EXIT push button. The device switches to  
Edit Mode. The EDIT LED lights up.

5.2.4 The Panic function  
Transpose 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.  
V
V
V
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.  
V
Press both push buttons  
(+/–) 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  
Selecting the Transpose function:  
When the Octave function is active, you activate the Transpose  
function as follows:  
V
Press the MUTE push button  
. Its LED lights up.  
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.  
V
Press the EDIT/EXIT push button. The device switches to  
Edit Mode. The EDIT LED lights up.  
V
V
Press the TRANSP +/– key to select the Transpose function.  
V
Press the MUTE push button again. Its LED goes out.  
Press the ENTER key to confirm. The device switches back  
to Play Mode (EDIT 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  
5.2.3 The MMC 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.  
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  
.
V
Press the MMC push button to activate the MMC function.  
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 push button LED lights up.  
The MMC functions that are assigned to the control elements  
by default are as follows:  
1.  
2.  
Press and hold down the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
E1 Loop: Activates the playback loop feature of the  
controlled music software application.  
Operate the control element that is supposed to learn the  
MIDI function.  
E2 Locate: Jumps to the beginning of the track.  
E3 REW: Rewinds.  
3.  
4.  
Release the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
Press the LEARN key. “Lrn” appears on the display while  
the MIDI device waits for an external MIDI message.  
E4 FFW: Fast-forwards.  
E5 Stop: Stops playback. By pressing Play (E7) again, the  
track is played from the beginning.  
5.  
6.  
Transmit the MIDI message to the UMA25S from the device  
you want to control.  
E6 Pause: Pauses playback. By pressing Play (E7) again,  
the track is played from the current position.  
If valid MIDI data are received, the display shows “Gd!”  
(good). If invalid, incorrect or too long, “Err” (error) appears  
on the display.  
E7 Play: Plays back.  
E8 Punch In: Records.  
7a. Press the ENTER key to confirm.  
7b. Alternatively, press the EDIT/EXIT push button to cancel  
the changes made.  
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.  
The device switches to Play Mode (EDIT LED goes out).  
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).  
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.

Chapter 5.5).  
Controller Mode:  
5.4 Assignment of control messages  
in Edit 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).  
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 sampler (press once =  
Start, press a second time = Stop).  
You need to specify how the incoming controllers are to be  
interpreted on the slave unit. At this point, we suggest you refer  
to the user manual of the slave unit.  
General assignment of control messages in Edit Mode:  
1.  
Press and hold down the EDIT/EXIT push button. The device  
switches to Edit Mode and “Edt” appears on the display.  
Toggle Off corresponds to a push button function, which is  
comparable to the switch of an electric door opener. The On  
value (value 1) is sent by pressing the push button. The Off  
value (value 2) is sent by releasing the push button. You should  
use this mode when triggering short sound effects and samples  
(similar to playing a keyboard).  
2.  
Use the control element you want to edit. The name of the  
control shows up on the display (for example, “E10”).  
3.  
4.  
Release the EDIT/EXIT push button. Its LED lights up.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
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  
use your U-CONTROL to operate control push buttons that have  
more than two switching states.  
5a. Press the ENTER key to confirm. The EDIT LED goes out.  
5b. Alternatively, press the EDIT/EXIT push button to cancel  
the changes and exit Edit Mode. The EDIT LED goes out.  
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).  
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.  
Comments on Step 4:  
In Edit Mode, all settings are made by turning the knobs E9 – E16.  
The available setting options depend on the data types being  
used.

5.5 MIDI Messages  
Examples of Program Changes:  
5.5.1 Program Change and MIDI Bank Select  
Example 1:  
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:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
2. Turn E9 completely to the left so that the display shows  
“PC” (which stands for Program Change).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
8. Press the ENTER key to confirm. The EDIT LED goes  
out.  
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”.  
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:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Table A.1 on the supplementary sheet gives you an  
overview of the rotary knob assignment in  
Edit Mode.  
Result: First, the UMA25S transmits the higher ranking  
bank number 8 as CC, followed by the program number

U-CONTROL UMA25S  
5.5.2 Control Changes  
5.5.3 NRPN  
The Control Change messages (CC) belong to the most “powerful”  
MIDI messages. They allow you to control plenty of parameters  
and functions. You can assign CC messages to each control  
element on the UMA25S. Since it is possible to use push 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.  
Apart from the CC messages, there are other controllers that  
don’t have a standardized assignment and can be assigned  
variably from unit to unit. These controllers are called NRPN  
(Non-Registered Parameter Number). 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 appendix). Just like the CC messages, the value  
range can be adjusted with the E12 (minimum value) and E13  
(maximum value) rotary knobs (see Chapter 5.5.4).  
The Controller message consists of a controller number and the  
included controller values. The E11 rotary knob is used to  
determine the controller number.  
Table A.3 on the supplementary sheet gives you  
an overview of the rotary knob assignment in  
Edit Mode.  
Continuous elements allow you to define the value range  
with the E12 (minimum value) and E13 (maximum value) rotary  
knobs.  
Alternatively, you can invert the value scale by  
assigning 127 as the minimum value and 0 as the  
5.5.4 Note messages  
Playing notes on the keyboard:  
maximum value (scale inversion).  
A
classic  
For keyboard virtuosos, Note messages belong to the essential  
MIDI messages. 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.  
application of scale inversion is the drawbar control  
of virtual or digital organs or organ expanders. In  
this manner, assign the controller 07 (volume) to a  
fader on the UMA25S and pulling up the fader  
attenuates the signal. On the other hand, moving  
down the fader corresponds to moving out the  
drawbars which increases the volume level.  
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:  
Triggering Note messages using push buttons (switch  
elements):  
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.  
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.  
Table A.2 on the supplementary sheet gives you  
an overview of the rotary knob assignment in  
Edit Mode.  
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”).  
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:  
It is not possible to assign Note messages to  
continuous control elements.  
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.  
Free assignment of Note messages to keys:  
This function allows you to specify the pitch of each key on the  
keyboard. For more information, read Chapter 5.5.9.  
2. Select the desired type of MIDI message (CC, NRPN,  
GS/XG) by using E9.  
3. Use E10 to select the MIDI channel on which your  
instrument is ready to receive.  
Table A.4 on the supplementary sheet gives you an  
overview of the rotary knob assignment in  
Edit Mode.  
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.  
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.

U-CONTROL UMA25S  
5.5.9 Using keys as control elements  
5.5.5 Pitch Bend  
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.  
Triggering Note messages with keys:  
The data structure corresponds to that of the Note messages,  
except for the Velocity, which can be played either with a fix  
value (0 – 127) or with the Velocity of the keyboard (E12 rotary  
knob). Turn E15 to discard the settings and return to the normal  
assignment of the keyboard (Reset function; “reS” on display).  
5.5.6 After-Touch  
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 keys (Key Pressure) or all notes  
equally (Channel Pressure). The UMA25S keyboard is not after-  
touch capable, but you can assign this function to other control  
elements. This way you can control synthesizer parameters  
that are used to control after-touch.  
Triggering CC messages with keys:  
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).  
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).  
Table A.9 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.  
Table A.6 on the supplementary sheet gives you an  
overview of the rotary knob assignment in  
Edit Mode.  
5.5.7 MIDI Machine Control (MMC)  
1. Press and hold down the EDIT/EXIT push button.  
The device switches to Edit Mode.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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).

an overview of the rotary knob assignment in  
Edit Mode.  
5. Press the ENTER key to confirm.  
6. Save the assignments as preset.  
5.5.8 GS/XG parameters  
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.  
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).

5.6.3 Channel Assign function  
5.6.2 Channel Array function  
The Channel Assign function lets you assign the SINGLE SEND  
CHANNEL for a single control element or the superior GLOBAL  
SEND CHANNEL. Please consider the different ways to proceed.  
Array function:  
This practical function can be used to let several control elements  
send the same MIDI message on different MIDI channels. It is  
available for the control element groups E1 – E8 and E9 – E16.  
Assigning individual channels to a particular control  
element (SINGLE) is an alternative to the method already  
described in Chapter 5.4:  
1.  
Assign the first control element (E1 or E9) as already  
described (see Chapter 5.4).  
1.  
Press and hold down the EDIT/EXIT push button. The device  
switches to Edit Mode. “Edt” appears on the display.  
2.  
3.  
Press the EDIT push button.  
Press the ARRAY key. “C_A” (which stands for Channel  
Array) appears on the display for a short time, after which  
“E1” is shown. Each time you press the ARRAY key “E1” or  
“E9” is displayed.  
2.  
Operate the control element that you want to edit.  
The name of the control element appears on the display  
(for example, “E10”).  
3.  
4.  
Release the EDIT/EXIT push button. Its LED lights up.  
4.  
5.  
Press the ARRAY key until the display shows the name of  
the control element that you assigned in Step 1.  
Press the SINGLE key (in the CH ASSIGN section). “SnG”  
appears on the display for a short time.  
Press the ENTER key to confirm.  
5.  
Use the keyboard to enter two digits for the channel you  
want to use with the control element (for example, “0” and  
“6” for MIDI channel 06).  
The array of control elements has now the same function  
assigned to them, but each element is consecutively assigned to  
incremental MIDI channel numbers. Since the MIDI specification  
only provides 16 channels, the following takes place: For example,  
if the first element uses Channel 12, the following elements use  
the channel numbers 13, 14, 15, 16, 1, 2 and 3.  
6a. Press the ENTER key to confirm. The EDIT LED goes out.  
6b. Alternatively, press the EDIT/EXIT push button to discard  
any changes made and to exit Edit Mode. The EDIT LED  
goes out.  
Swap function:  
The Swap function allows you to switch the MIDI channel  
assignment of an array grouped in eight: swap the assignment  
of channels 9 – 16 when channels 1 – 8 were selected  
beforehand. This means that, for the previous example, the  
assignment of channels 12 – 3 would change to 4 – 11.  
Assigning the superior GLOBAL SEND CHANNEL:

Please note that the channel assignment in GLOBAL  
EDIT Mode differs from the above described GLOBAL  
SEND CHANNEL method! For more information, read  
Chapter 5.7.  
5.6.4 Snapshot Send (Send TX)  
The Snapshot Send transmits all values of the current controller  
positions. This allows a synchronization of the UMA25S’ settings  
with the connected MIDI device.  
Table 5.2: Rotary knob assignment in Global Mode  
1.  
2.  
Press the EDIT push button.  
4.  
Press the EDIT/EXIT push button to exit Global Mode.  
Press the SNAP TX key. The UMA25S transmits the status  
of all control elements including the positions of the 8 rotary  
knobs, the state of the 8 push buttons, etc.  
The settings in Global Mode are directly taken over  
and need not be separately stored.  
After sending the snapshot the UMA25S switches to Play Mode.  
Global Receive Channel:  
In addition to the Snap TX function, there is also the  
Single Preset Dump (see Chapter 5.7). Both of these  
functions differ in the type of data they send. With a  
Snapshot Send, only the current control values are  
transmitted, which are synchronized with the  
connected MIDI device. A Single Preset Dump on  
the other hand allows the entire content of the  
current preset, including the present control  
element assignment, to be transmitted. This  
function allows you easily to archive and exchange  
individual presets with other U-CONTROL users.  
The UMA25S receives Program Change messages on this  
channel in order to load the presets.  
Please note that the channel assignment in CH  
ASSIGN Mode differs from the described method  
in GLOBAL EDIT Mode! For more information, read  
Chapter 5.6.3.  
Device ID Number:  
Only change the Device ID number settings when you are working  
with several U-CONTROLs at the same time and encounter  
problems recognizing the correct device during a SysEx dump.  
5.6.5 Sending a Notes Off message  
It may happen that a Note Off message cannot be transmitted  
when the connection between the UMA25S and the other devices  
is interrupted in which case the notes keep on playing. This kind  
of situation requires you manually to trigger the Notes Off  
message which mutes all connected sound modules at once.  
The Notes Off message is sent to each of the 16 MIDI channels.  
Please note that SysEx dumps can only be received  
at the Device ID number from which they were sent!  
SysEx Dump ALL:  
By turning the E11 rotary knob, the entire memory contents of  
the 16 presets is sent as SysEx dump via MIDI. During the dump,  
the display flashes “Run”. You can cancel the process by turning  
the E11 rotary knob until “End” appears on the display.  
1.  
2.  
Press the EDIT push button.  
Press the NOTES OFF key. The Notes Off message is  
immediately transmitted. “NOF” appears on the display.  
In order to receive a SysEx dump, no settings on your equipment  
have to be adjusted.  
The device automatically switches to Play Mode.  
CAUTION: If you send an “All SysEx Dump” to the  
U-CONTROL, the entire memory content is directly  
overwritten! There is no prompt for confirmation  
nor a memory safety function!  
5.6.6 Action Send function  
The Action Send function lets you trigger the transmission of a  
specific control element. For example, this function allows you  
to send a one-off MIDI message which is only supposed to be  
assigned to a control element for a short time.  
SysEx Dump SINGLE:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Press and hold down the EDIT push button.  
Turn the control element that you want reassigned.  
Release the EDIT push button.  
By turning the E12 rotary knob, the current preset is sent as  
SysEx dump. During the dump, the display flashes “Run”. You  
can cancel the process by turning the E12 rotary knob until “End”  
appears on the display.  
Use E9 to E16 to make the assignment.  
In order to receive a SysEx dump, no settings on your equipment  
have to be adjusted. If you send a single preset to the UMA25S,  
the data are first stored in a temporary memory. In order to be  
stored permanently, save the data in a memory slot of your  
choice (see Chapter 5.1.2).  
Press the ACTION SEND key. The MIDI message is trans-  
mitted.  
6a. Press the EDIT/EXIT push button to discard any changes  
you made.
