1. USB MIDI IN Controllers MIDI IN MIDI OUT About The MIDI In Port The MIDI in plug can be used to interface another MIDI device to your PC via the USB port Data received from this device will be transmitted via the UC 33 to the PC This is achieved using a second USB MIDI out So when you select the MIDI devices section of your sequencer you will see two UC 33 USB MIDI Ins The first of these is used to receive the UC 33 controller data the second is used to receive data from the other device con nected to the UC 33 s MIDI IN plug So the UC 33 is acting as a MIDI to USB interface for the other MIDI device About The MIDI Out Port The UC 33 can of course also interface with other MIDI devices By default I e when you switch the unit on all controller data is sent out via the MIDI output as well as the USB out If you want the MIDI output to act like a traditional USB to MIDI interface just press the two buttons SELECT and ASSIGN that activate the MIDI OUT from USB mode If you are using a host application which can pick up multiple input drivers you will be able to use the UC 33 s MIDI input and the UC 33 surface to record MIDI data and send the whole lot out of the UC 33 s MIDI output Important note The UC 33 is not a MIDI THRU device and as such MIDI data received at the UC 33 s MIDI IN plug can never be sent directly to the UC 33 s MIDI OUT plug However if the UC 33 is connected via USB to a computer data2. Evolution UC 33 Advanced User Guide About The Advanced Guide In the UC 33 Advanced Guide we have made the assumption that you have been through the UC 33 Getting Started Guide which should have been supplied in printed form with your UC 33 If you do not have this guide please contact your local distribu tor or download it from our website www evolution co uk The Getting Started Guide should insure that you are now familiar with the basic op eration of the UC 33 so that we now can focus on more in depth features First however we need to explain some terminology we use throughout the guide Terminoloc Edit Mode Edit Mode describes the short period after a function button has been pressed during which the parameters of that function can be altered The numeric keypad can be used to alter a parameter during this time No data is sent out of the UC 33 when it is in Edit mode except for program and bank changes LCD symbols shown in Edit mode will flash to show you that a particular parameter can be edited If a number is part entered and a new controller turned that number will become the relevant parameter number for the new controller and the 3 second editing period will re trigger Default mode Default Mode describes the state of the UC 33 when no function buttons have been pressed within the last 3 seconds In Default mode the LCD will show the controller symbol and the 2 digit display will show the last selected control
