The UMX25 is an extremely flexible master keyboard with a controller unit that can be used for a wide array of applications. Whether you need independent control of computer rack synthesizers, general MIDI sound modules or effects devices, or want to use the UMX25 for conveniently operating sequencing software or computer plugins – the UMX25 offers you tremendous ease of use and allows you to realize your ideas intuitively. .. The following user’s 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’s manual, store it at a safe place for future reference. 1.1 Before you get started 1.1.1 Shipment The U-CONTROL was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage. .. Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid. .. To assure optimal protection of your UMX25 during transport, we recommend utilizing a carrying case. .. Please always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to storage or shipping. .. Never let unsupervised children play with the B-CONTROL or with its packaging. .. Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally-friendly fashion. 1.1.2 Initial operation and power supply Please make sure that the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place the UMX25 on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating. The power supply can be realized in different ways depending on the main application area: For the installation of the UMX25 in a studio environment, it is possible to connect the device directly to a free USB port of the computer using the USB cable provided (see fig. 1.1). In case it is not possible to establish the power supply over USB (e.g. because of an overload of the host computer due to several USB devices connected), it is also possible to operate the UMX25 with three 1.5-Volt batteries (type “AA”, see fig. 1.2).
