The UC-33 is the affordable, easy-to-use remote USB controller for any computer music system or MIDI setup. It allows instant and simultaneous control of up to 47 different parameters—and with 33 memory locations, changing setups is fast and easy.
The powerful Snapshot feature instantly makes all controllers live for real-time, on-the-fly editing, and the unique Control Mute function mutes the output of all controllers, allowing users to position them before tweaking, thereby preventing parameters such as filter cut-off or amplitude levels from jumping abruptly during performance.
The unit also features a drawbar mode for the sliders, which greatly enhances the experience of playing virtual instruments such as Native Instruments’ B4 virtual Hammond organ. Use the UC-33 with a conventional MIDI setup, for live performances, or as a remote control for your existing studio rack. 30 pre-configured presets allow immediate control of the most popular virtual instruments and host applications like Reason, Live, Logic, Cubase SX, Native Instrument's B4 and more.
The unit also ships with 5 colour overlays for the front panel, customized for popular software programs such as Ableton Live, Pro-53, B4 and a general Mixer Channel Strip plus a blank which users can tailor to their personal setup needs.
