[. . . ] Evolution UC-33 Advanced User Guide 1 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 distributor or download it from our website www. evolution. co. uk The Getting Started Guide should insure that you are now familiar with the basic operation 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. Terminology 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. [. . . ] 127 means the SysEx message will be received by all devices. Please note that the device ID for a Sys Ex message assigned to a controller can not be changed using the Device ID buttons. These buttons are used for varying the global device ID of the UC33. 12 Evolution UC-33 Advanced User Guide Non-Volatile Memory The UC-33 uses non-volatile memory so that you can continue where you left off even after powering down and restarting. The current UC-33 controller and channel assignments are stored whether you have stored your setup to a memory locations or not. Also stored is Draw Bar mode (on/off), DATA LSB and DATA MSB data, global Memory Dump channel setting and last used memory preset. Pressing the MEMORY DUMP buttons will send out a number of Sys Ex data packets that represent the 33 memories you have set up in your UC-33. This is a useful way of storing or backing up the contents of your memory presets externally. You can record the complete memory dump in to a standard sequencer. To recall the memory dump back to the UC-33, play the MIDI track containing the recorded memory dump to the UC-33, making sure that the UC-33 drivers are selected as output for that particular track. The current controller assignments are not affected by a memory dump, or a memory send to the UC-33. Once a memory dump has been sent to the UC-33, you will need to recall a preset to access the new memory settings. Assigning A Device ID To The UC-33 Pressing the "DEV. ID" buttons will allow you to assign a Device ID to the UC-33. The default Device ID is 127, which means when a memory dump is performed, that dump can be received by any UC-33, regardless of the Device ID setting. If a device ID is assigned to any number other than 127, the memory dump performed will be specific to UC-33's with the same device ID. If the device ID of a UC-33 differs from the one recorded with the memory dump, the data will be ignored. The device ID is a handy way of differentiating between multiple UC33's. Otherwise, we recommend you keep the device ID setting as 127. When you press the Device ID buttons, you will see the small 2-digit display on LCD display 'id'. The 3-digit display represents the assigned Device ID. You can enter a new device ID using the numeric keypad, or the '+' and '-' buttons. For more information on SysEx messages and device ID, please go to page 18. Resetting The UC-33 To The Factory Default Setting The UC-33 comes with 33 useful presets stored in it's memory (for complete list, see Appendix H). You can reset the UC-33 back to the factory defaults on power-up by holding down the +/- buttons. 13 Evolution UC-33 Advanced User Guide MIDI In/Out & MIDI Messages Explained 14 Evolution UC-33 Advanced Note: Restoring the Factory presets will erase all UC-33 setups stored to memory. [. . . ] Will copy all the memories in Bank 1 to Bank 2. It's a good idea to decide which column is your master column, to avoid confusion and maybe loosing hours of work. 20 Evolution UC-33 Advanced User Guide Viewing The Contents Of A Memory Right-click on a memory to view the contents. Please note that it is not possible to edit the contents of a memory. The Sys Ex librarian will simply allow you to rearrange the order of memories, or copy memories between one dump and another. Saving A Setup Once you have named all your presets, and organised them in the desired order, click 'save' to save the content. [. . . ]
