From Our Research Team:

Gain Back The Control Of Your Software!

The Evolution UC-33e is an affordable USB hardware controller designed to be used with any computer music/MIDI setup. The UC-33e allows instant and simultaneous control of up to 47 different parameters, and with 33 memory locations it’s easy to change your setup quickly. With its compact and intuitive design, the UC-33e fits into any studio, putting the power of music software right in your hands.

Simple Set Up
Using controllers should be easy but it often isn’t. Setting up patches can be complicated and frustrating, and it’s often a headache just to remember which knob controls what parameter. The UC-33e comes with 33 pre-set configurations, allowing instant control of the most popular virtual instruments and host applications (including Propellerhead Reason, Ableton Live, and Cubase SX). The UC-33e also ships with 5 color overlays customized to your favorite software program, plus a blank template you can tailor to your personal setup needs.

Assignable Real-Time Control
All assignable real-time controllers are easily programmed via the numerical keypad. Each of the UC-33e’s 47 controllers can transmit pre-programmed Sys-Ex messages and can also be programmed to transmit on individual MIDI channels. Your setups can be stored in any of the 33 memory locations for easy recall. The Memory dump facility allows the entire contents of the UC-33e to be sent from the unit to your desired location. A librarian program for PC users is also included for saving, editing and sharing keyboard setups.

Perfect For Your Virtual Organ
The UC-33e’s unique controller mute function mutes the output of all controllers, allowing you to position them before tweaking, thereby eliminating jumping filters or levels during your 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 Organ.

Use It Live or in Your Studio
The UC-33e can also be used with a conventional MIDI setup, for live performances, or as a remote controller for your existing studio rack. When used in standalone mode, the MIDI Out can be used to send MIDI controller data to your MIDI rack.


Evolution UC-33e Features:
  • 24 fully-assignable rotary knobs
  • 9 full-size assignable ALPS faders with light indicators
  • Independent channel assign for all 47 controllers
  • 33 memory locations for storing your settings, including 4 one-touch access buttons
  • 14 assignable buttons provide fingertip control over sequencer functions and act as numeric keypad for data entry
  • Controller mute function mutes the output of all controllers so you can position before tweaking
  • Multi-purpose LCD display shows controller assignments
  • Drawbar mode for sliders allows realistic control of classic organ sounds
  • Memory dump facility
  • Global channel assign allows controllers to command up to 16 different channels at the touch of a button
  • Sys-Ex librarian software allows PC users to load, save, send and receive any combination of setups for your studio
  • Snap Shot sends out current controller position data and sets your synth’s controls to the current UC-33 setting

worth the money

by Dan from Chicago, IL

Music Background: Post Engineer and Amateur DJ
I've had this item for a few months now. It works perfectly. There are plenty of faders and knobs for DJing with Ableton Live. My only gripe is that the faders and knobs aren't as smooth as I'd like t... read more [+]hem to be. You need to grab the top and bottom of the fader with your fingers to get a smooth glide, not just on the face of it. It's not too choppy, just not perfectly smooth is all. The delay the previous reviewer talks about only occurs when you first assign the controls in Live (as in, the first turn of the knob immediately after assigning it). Other than that, I've seen no delay. I would definitely recommend buying it if you need a lot assignable knobs and faders. However, if it's perfectly smooth fader action you're looking for - look elsewhere. close [-]
