Evolution UC-33 announced (Hardware Controller)

-
Evolution

Evolution Electronics announce the immediate launch of the UC-33 hardware controller which provides essential hands-on control for any computer music or MIDI setup, eliminating the frustrations of using a mouse.

Why are we mentioning it? Well the UC-33 comes with 33 presets allowing instant recall of setups for a whole range of industry standard software, including many VST instruments, such as, PPG Wave, FM7, Attack, HALion, Model-E, CM 101/202/404, Mercury-1, Rainbow, B4, Pro-53, Lounge Lizard, plus the Reason synths, Cubase, Sonar and more...

The UC-33 offers instant and simultaneous control of up to 47 different parameters provided by 24 assignable rotary knobs, 9 full-size assignable ALPS faders with light indicators and 14 assignable buttons.

Creating individual setups is extremely straight forward. Each of the 47 real-time controllers are programmed using a numerical keypad which makes assigning fast and precise. A crystal clear LCD display shows the current status for each controller providing an instant overview of the setup.

All of the UC-33�s 47 controllers can transmit on separate MIDI channels allowing control of multiple plug-ins and mixer channels. There is even a Drawbar mode which reverses the polarity of the 9 assignable ALPS faders making the real-time control of classic organ instruments even more realistic. The UC-33 also has RPN/NRPN and pre-programmed Sys-Ex messages, which make it possible to gain real-time access to parameters beyond immediate reach on
SoundBlaster, XG and GM compatible soundcards.

Setups can be stored in 33 different memory locations for recalling at any time and a blank overlay template is included allowing the user to label the unit themselves.

The UC-33 connects to a PC or Mac using the included USB cable. This also provides power, keeping cables to a minimum and eliminating the need for a power supply. In common with all Evolution products, the UC-33 is Class compliant, so no drivers are required when using Windows XP or Mac OS X. Drivers for earlier operating systems are of course included.

The UC-33 can also be used as a USB MIDI interface. The MIDI Input and Output interface directly with host applications, adding an extra interface to a users� setup.

The UC-33 will be available Q2 2003 with an SRP of (US)$330.00
