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 connected 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, data received at the MIDI IN can be transmitted to the MIDI OUT plug, since the data is sent to the computer, and received back from the computer. MIDI OUT FROM USB mode must be engaged for this to occur. 1 Evolution UC- 33 Advanced User Guide Assigning A Note To A Button 1. Press SELECT and press the “0” button. The display will show that you have selected controller 34. 2. Press ASSIGN and enter '147' this is the MIDI CC number that corresponds to Note on/off mode, as shown in Appendix B. 3. Press DATA MSB and enter a value of ' 100'. This means when you press the button, a Note on message will be sent out with a velocity of 100. 4. Press DATA LSB, and enter a value of ' 000'. This means when you release the button, a Note off message will be sent out 5. Press the PROGRAM button and enter ' 064' . This will mean you are sending out MIDI note 64 or E4, each time you press the button. The MIDI note numbers are given in Appendix D. This button mode has many uses. You can use this mode to trigger samples, control lighting equipment, playkeyboard notes and much more. Note: When you press the button in note mode, the LCD display will briefly show the note velocity. About SysEx Messages & Device ID When transmitting SysEx messages, the individual control channel number does not define a transmit channel, but a device ID. This is made clear since when you press the CHANNEL button, the CC symbol will not be shown and there is no ’ c’ in the 3 digit display. Device ID’s range between 00 – 127. In most cases, you should set the device ID as 127. 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.

Press Control select, and move the desired controller. 2. Press control assign and while the display is flashing, enter controller 132 for RPN coarse, 133 for RPN fine, 134 for NRPN coarse or 135 for NRPN fine. 3. Press DATA MSB to assign the number for the RPN/NRPN MSB. 4. Press DATA LSB to assign the number for RPN/NRPN LSB. 5. Press CHANNEL ASSIGN to assign the MIDI channel the message should be sent on. You will find most data sheets for synths that make use of NRPN's will give the MSB and LSB values that you should enter into DATA MSB and DATA LSB banks (also see Appendix F). However, some manuals may only give the hex values. The UC- 33 requires you to enter the decimal value. You can easily convert hexadecimal values to decimal using the windows calculator. Simply select Scientific mode, select hex and enter the hexadecimal value you need to convert. Press the Dec button to convert it to a decimal value. Enter the decimal value into the UC- 33. Alternatively, use the look up table in Appendix C. The following shows how to set a button to transmit a note on when pressed, and a note off when released. 5 Ev EvEvo ool llut ututi iio oon nn UC- UC-UC- 33 Ad 33 Ad33 Advan vanvanced cedced Us UsUser erer Gu GuGuid idide ee Program & Bank Changes Explained The original GM MIDI specification catered for only 128 voices, numbered from 0-127.
