NAMM 2006 Show News
In Use The UC-33e comes with 33 pre-configured presets that support popular virtual instruments and sequencers, from Cubase SX to Propellerhead Reason to Native Instruments B4. Evolution provides five colorful overlays, which customize the front of the controller for use with Native Instruments Pro-53, B-4, Ableton Live, mixing, and a blank one. Recently, they've released additional inexpensive overlays that you can get for other popular applications. The controllers can be programmed using the UC-33e's numeric keypad. To do this, you select a controller, then just enter in a MIDI cc number. This lets you change any controller to transmit any MIDI message, including Sys-Ex messages. Once you've customized the setup, you can save it into one of the 33 memory locations. It can be used with computer-based audio systems, but also is useful for use with hardware MIDI modules. This makes it a lot easier to modify setting on rack systems. The UC-33e is small enough to use with notebook systems, but doesn't have any major limitations because of its size. The one item that some may miss is a jog wheel. The UC-33e is an excellent first control surface, because it gives you a large number of knobs and sliders, is easy to program, and doesn't duplicate the MIDI piano keyboard that most musicians will already have. The UC-33e can of course also be used with a conventional MIDI setup, for live performances or as a remote controller for your existing studio rack. The MIDI Out not only acts as an output for data from your computer system, but used stand-alone the UC-33 sends MIDI controller data straight from the MIDI Out to your MIDI rack. Even complex live setups are easy to control from a single unit due to the UC-33’s powerful programming features. Features
