Behringer U-CONTROL UMX61 Reviews

7/10

Some features missing, excellent price

— Luca March 18, 2009

Have you seen the price? Then, you should not expect a full-featured MIDI/USB 5octave master keyboard. I\'ll tell what you will be missing, then it\'s up to you to decide.

First of all the keyboard. The action is rather hard, and the return of the keys a little bit unnatural. However, if you have the technique you can adapt, though it is hard to achieve the expressivity of a real piano keyboard.
Then again, if you play piano you will probably won\'t be reading this.

Second, the flexibility. You have basically a set of eight buttons and eight rotary controls, plus a pedal, pitch and modulation wheel. And two +/- buttons that are defaulted to +/- octave shift.

You can change the control number of each of these elements, and the +/- buttons can be redirected to a (probably) more useful +/- preset change.

However (if you want to use it in a live setting) that, since you have at most 8 buttons, you can program at most 8 presets (by setting the buttons as program changes), or you can use the +/- buttons to scroll the preset list (very unpratical).

The instrument comes with a default setting which is retained after the instrument is switched off. You have a single user memory where you can store your assignements, so if you want to control a single expander (or the 2nd manual of a Hammond organ expander), and you don\'t need many presets, you are fine.

You even get a free sound to USB bidirectional stereo interface, and some CD\'s containing (probably) sampled instrument. Nothing that can compare to a Motu interface, so mine is still in the package, it is however a nice gift if you want to explore sampling and recording via the computer.

If on the other hand you need something more flexible, then you need something else, more pricey. And I would say that the UMX61 is not the lightest unit to carry along too.
