1 Evolution UC-33 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.
Evolution UC-33e Sending Snap Shot Press the +/- buttons together to send a SNAP SHOT of the current UC-33 controller assignments and their values. When you send a snapshot, the LCD will display the SNAPSHOT symbol. The data for an individual controller will be sent on which ever channel that controller has been assigned to. Snap Shot is one way of synchronizing the receiving device with the UC-33 and can be used as a creative tool, with interesting and surprising results.
3 Programming & Editing The UC-33 Introduction To UC-33 Programming Options Each of the UC-33’s 47 controllers can send MIDI cc, RPN/NRPN, GM 1&2 SysEx and even be assigned to individual MIDI channels. MIDI cc (continuous controller) numbers are part of the standard MIDI specifications and are typically used to control the real-time changing of parameters in musical equipment. For a complete list of standard MIDI controller numbers from 0 to 131, please see Appendix E on page XX.

Assigning An Individual MIDI Channel 1. 2. 3. Select the controller you want to edit as described earlier. Press CHANNEL. The LCD will display the CHAN symbol and the 3-digit display will show the current channel assignment of the selected controller, preceded by a ’c’. The small 2-digit display will show the currently selected controller for assignment. Type the MIDI channel number (01-16) you want the controller to send to, using the numeric keypad or the +/- keys.
Evolution UC-33e Assigning MMC Control To A Button 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Select the button you want to control the MMC message. Press “ASSIGN” on the UC-33. Type in “149” using the numerical keypad. This is the number that corresponds to the MMC instruction, as per the chart on page XXX and XXX. Press “Channel” once. Type in “127”, using the numerical keypad. This ensures that the message is set to all device ID numbers.
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.
Evolution UC-33e 4 MIDI In/Out & MIDI Messages Explained MIDI In & MIDI Out Signal Flow Diagram The MIDI IN & MIDI OUT ports have different uses depending on how you intend to connect and power the UC-33. The diagram below shows the different routing options. 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.
RPN/NRPN’s Explained Non-registered parameter numbers (NRPN’s) are device specific messages that enable the control of synths via MIDI. The MIDI specification defines parameter numbers to allow scope for manufacturers to specify their own controllers. The more common of these have been registered by the MIDI Manufacturer’s Association and are part of the MIDI specification (hence the term Registered Parameter Numbers – RPN’s). (See Appendix F.
Evolution UC-33e 5 The Evolution Librarian Software About The Evolution Librarian Software The Evolution Librarian Software is a Windows PC librarian program developed for Evolution products. The program not only works with the MK425C/449C/461C keyboards but is also compatible with the Evolution UC-33e USB controller.
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 organized them in the desired order, click ’save’ to save the content.
