button again. In either case, the ASSIGN LED goes out.
Example:
You want to use the UMX25 to select preset #49 in bank #25 on
an external device over channel 14. Since the bank number of
sound modules is often smaller than 128, only the LSB is used to
define the bank. The MSB is 0 in this case.

If you have not yet assigned an individual MIDI
channel to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons (see Chapter
4.2.2), the direct selection of programs always
refers to the GLOBAL CHANNEL!
As soon as you have assigned the direct program
selection feature to one of the two OCTAVE SHIFT
buttons, pressing both buttons simultaneously will do
NOTHING at all!
4.2.9 Other functions of the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons
After power-up, the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons are set to their
initial state (see Table 3.1 on page 7). In addition to the program
change and octave shift functions already described, you can
assign a few special functions to the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons in
ASSIGN mode:
a)
Transposition by single half-tones
b)
Scrolling in program libraries
c )
Various controller functions:
As soon as a function has been assigned to one of
the two buttons, the second button automatically
performs the same function—however with
limited functionality. As long as you have not
assigned a particular function to this button in
ASSIGN mode, it will not send any data.
a) Transposition by single semitones:
1)
Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2)
Press the
button.
3)
Release the ASSIGN button.
4)
Confirm your selection with
. To discard your
assignments either press the
button or the ASSIGN
button again.
Pressing the right-hand button transposes the pitch up by one
half-tone, pressing the left-hand button transposes the pitch
down by one semitone. Pressing both buttons simultaneously
cancels any transposition made before.
According to the MIDI standard, a keyboard
comprises a maximum of 128 semitones. When
you reach the lower and upper limits of this range
using the transpose function, any further key
press will not raise or lower the pitch any more.
This also applies to the transposition by octaves.
b) Scrolling in program libraries:
Most sound modules allow you to store presets in a separate
bank, often referred to as user bank. If the order of the songs to
be played during a gig is fixed, you can use the user bank to
store all sounds used in concert one after the other and
concentrate entirely on your performance. Thanks to the OCTAVE
SHIFT buttons you don’t have to bother any more with searching
sounds in your various sound modules.
1)
Press the ASSIGN button and keep it pressed.
2)
Press the
button.
3)
Release the ASSIGN button.
