Controller mode
Controller mode is the basic mode of the UC4. Here the encoders, faders and buttons are used to control
any parameters in your soft- or/and hardware by standard midi commands like CC and notes.
First choose the encoder group by holding shift key and press one of the 8 encoders. The display shows the
group name:
GrP1....GrP8 Pay attention that you can edit the group names in edit mode for each setup
separately.
Turning and pushing of the encoders can send different commands which you can program in edit mode.
After turning or pushing any encoder you can see the numerical value in the display too. A programmed
acceleration gives a better feeling for the encoders so you can go from min to max value easily. Hold any
shift key while you turn the encoders to have a precise control without acceleration.
You can also select a independent group for the faders and buttons by holding shift key and press the green
buttons. The green LEDs show the selected group 1 to 8.
The faders can work in snap or jump mode. In snap mode you have to catch the last value which avoids any
possible value jumps after feedback data or changing the fader group. Jump mode works like a standard
controller so the data will be send immediately. Hold shift while you move a fader to swap these modes
temporarily.
The green buttons can be programmed to various modes too. So they can work as momentary switch or in
toggled mode, sending notes, CC, program change or aftertouch commands.
The right point in lower right corner of the display shows incoming midi data. It flashes bright when the
device receives controller data. Low flashing indicates midi clock or other midi data.
Ableton Live mode
The setups 17 and 18 are preconfigured for using with Live 8/9. The display shows special group names for
the encoder groups (see below).
setup 17 controls tracks 1 to 8,
setup 18 controls tracks 9 to 16
Encoder groups:
Snd1
(group 1) controls parameter send 1(A) for 8 tracks
Snd2
(group 2) controls parameter send 2(B) for 8 tracks
Snd3
(group 3) controls parameter send 3(C) for 8 tracks
Snd4
(group 4) controls parameter send 4(D) for 8 tracks
trAC
(group 5) controls various parameters of the selected track
(tracks below track 16 are available too in this group)
-
encoder 1: track send 1(A)
-
encoder 2: track send 2(B)
-

encoder 4: scene select, push button 4: launch clip
-
encoder 5: track select
-
encoder 6: crossfader assign
