Faderfox micromodul uc4 User Manual - page 4
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Faderfox controller. These probably world’s smallest controllers are designed for
live use on stage. All Faderfox controllers are professionally hand crafted in Germany ensuring high
quality. The 4th generation brings a lot of new features like additional MIDI connections, black faceplates
with laser engraving and updatable firmware.
UC4 as successor of the UC3 is a universal controller for all kinds of midi controllable hard- and
software.
The all-rounder has 8 push-encoders without detents, 9 faders and 8 buttons, all switchable to 8 controller
groups that allow to control a total amount of 264 control parameters. A 4-digit-display and 8 LEDs show
the current values of all controls.
Various kinds of midi commands like program change, pitchbend, aftertouch and control change in relative
and absolute mode with different acceleration amounts are possible. All these properties are fully
programmable on the devices very fast and easy for each control separately.
The encoders can work as high resolution 14bit controllers too (control change or pitchbend) which makes
them suitable for sensitive parameters like resonating filter cutoffs or similar things.
Use the internal 18 setups to save your individual settings. Backup and restore of all settings by sysex
dumps are possible too.
The factory settings are perfect to control music and video software products out of the box if they
are freely assignable. So any additional device programming isn’t necessary for many applications.
The little box is also a great extension for your Ableton Live setup. There you can control all the
continuous parameters like track volumes, rack macros, send amounts, track pannings and switchable
parameters like clip launch/stop, mute, solo, rec arm, monitor and track select. A special control surface
script for Ableton Live 8/9 with all necessary mappings is enclosed in the package. With that script you can
also use two UC4 devices to control up to 16 tracks simultaneously.
