UC-33e – Advanced USB MIDI Control Surface

The UC-33 is the affordable, easy-to-use remote USB controller for any computer music system or MIDI setup. It allows instant and simultaneous control of up to 47 different parameters-and with 33 memory locations, changing setups is fast and easy. The powerful Snapshot feature instantly makes all controllers live for real-time, on-the-fly editing, and the unique Control Mute function mutes the output of all controllers, allowing users to position them before tweaking, thereby preventing parameters such as filter cut-off or amplitude levels from jumping abruptly during performance. The unit also features a drawbar mode for the sliders, which greatly enhances the experience of playing virtual instruments such as Native Instruments’ B4 virtual Hammond organ. Use the UC-33 with a conventional MIDI setup, for live performances, or as a remote control for your existing studio rack. 30 pre-configured presets allow immediate control of the most popular virtual instruments and host applications like Reason, Live, Logic, Cubase SX, Native Instrument’s B4 and more.

The unit also ships with 5 color overlays for the front panel customized for popular software programs such as Ableton Live, Pro-53, B4 and a general Mixer Channel Strip plus a blank which users can tailor to their personal setup needs.
