Evolution UC-33 Advanced User Guide
To Mute all faders and rotary controllers, press the CTRL MUTE buttons.
This allows you to alter the position of the controller without affecting the settings of your
software. CTRL MUTE does not affect buttons, and as soon as an assignable button or
a function key is pressed, the controllers are turned back on. Alternatively, you can
press the CTRL MUTE buttons again to turn the controllers back on.
When you first press the CTR MUTE buttons, you will see the LCD display 'OFF'. Chang-
ing the position of a controller with controller mute engaged, the LCD will always display
OFF to indicate no data is being sent out by the UC-33. To cancel the controller mute
function, simply press a function key (or keys) or one of the assignable buttons.
This is a very useful feature if you are switching between presets on the UC-33 with the
controllers out of position. You will be able to move the controller to a position relative to
the software's controller value, rather than causing the software's controller value to
jump.
You can also use this feature for creative mixing and interesting DJ type control. If for
instance you use the UC-33 as a conventional volume mixer, try engaging the controller
mute function, change the volume up or down of various channels and press the SNAP
SHOT buttons. This form of mixing is very dynamic and can not be done using a
conventional mixer.
Pressing the CHANNEL and RECALL Buttons engages DRAW BAR mode. In DRAW
BAR mode, the sliders of the UC-33 will be reversed – such that 0 is at the top, while 127
is at the bottom.
To engage DRAW BAR mode, press the two buttons labelled
CHANNEL and RECALL.
When DRAW BAR mode is engaged, the LCD display indicates this by displaying the
FADER symbol. Press the CHANNEL and RECALL buttons to disengage DRAW BAR
mode. DRAW BAR MODE is meant for use with Hammond organ type synths that have
draw bars. Try this mode out with the Native Instruments B4 (demo version included on
the CD-ROM).
