UC-33 (original version)
Requirements/Setting up:
• To use the UC-33 with ReCycle 2.1, you must select preset 21, and
make sure that this isn’t changed from the factory settings.
• You can restore the UC-33 to factory settings by holding down the +
and - buttons when you turn the keyboard on - note that this re-
stores all presets to factory settings, deleting any changes you have
made.
• We strongly recommend that you connect the UC-33 to a separate
MIDI port (or use USB). If you connect the UC-33 to the same MIDI
port as a MIDI keyboard, you will not be able to play all keys on the
keyboard. This is because the UC-33 maps some keys to transport
functions and various buttons, and if the UC-33 and the keyboard
are connected to the same MIDI port, ReCycle 2.1 cannot separate
them. If you connect the UC-33 and the keyboard to separate MIDI
ports, this is not a problem.
About the default mapping:
The UC-33 features a number of overlays for different Reason devices (from pre-
vious Reason versions). In the default mapping of the UC-33 we have tried to
keep the mapping according to the overlays, where possible. This means that you
can still use e.g. the Subtractor overlay when you're controlling a Subtractor with
the UC-33 (although you no longer have to switch to a Subtractor preset!).
However, in some cases we had to rearrange the numpad buttons to make room
for the patch selection, target track and transport functions - this is noted below.
D The following buttons are used for global Reason functions:
Numpad buttons 4 and 7 are used for Target Previous/Next Track.
For devices with patches, numpad buttons 6 and 9 are used for Select Previ-
ous/Next Patch.
The four transport buttons (stop, play, rewind and fast forward) are mapped to
the corresponding transport functions in Reason. The numpad 0 button is
mapped to Record.
D Mixer 14:2
There are four keyboard shortcut variations. In variations 1-2 channels 1-8
are controlled, with the two upper rows of knobs controlling EQ and Aux
Sends, respectively. In variations 3-4, channels 9-14 are controlled in the
same way. The faders always control the levels, and the lowest row of knobs
controls the pan. The master level is mapped to fader F9 in all variations.
D Thor
There are five keyboard shortcut variations: Env, Osc & Amp, Modulation, Se-
quencer 1 and Sequencer 2. Depending on selected variation, the faders and
controls are mapped to the corresponding sections in Thor. Numpad 1-2 con-
trol the front panel buttons 1-2. Numpad 3 controls Keyboard Mode, numpad
5 controls step sequencer run and numpad 8 controls delay on/off. Knobs C9
and C10 control Rotaries 1 and 2 on the Thor panel.
D Subtractor
This is mapped as on the Subtractor overlay, with the following exceptions:
Numpad 1 is mapped to Filter Env Invert (Osc 2 on/off is not mapped).
Numpad 8 is mapped to Filter2 On/Off.
D Malström
This is mapped as on the Malström overlay, but the numpad and transport but-
ton mapping is changed. The following parameters are controlled by the num-
pad buttons:
Numpad 1: Filter B On/Off
Numpad 2: Filter B Env
Numpad 3: Filter A On/Off
Numpad 5: Filter A Env
Numpad 8: Modulator A On/Off
D Redrum
There are two keyboard shortcut variations, controlling drum 1-8 and drum 9-
10, respectively. The faders and knobs are mapped according to the Redrum
overlay.
On the numpad, button 1 controls the Pattern Enable switch, button 2 steps
through pattern 1-8 within the current bank and button 3 selects bank.
D BV-512 Vocoder
The faders control the band levels. There are four keyboard shortcut varia-
tions, determining which vocoder bands should be controlled by the faders.
D Matrix
On the numpad, button 1 controls the Pattern Enable switch, button 2 steps
through pattern 1-8 within the current bank and button 3 selects bank.
D ReGroove
The faders control A1-A8 Groove amount. C9-C16 control A1-A8 Shuffle
and C17-C24 control A1-A8 Slide.
