Product Description

The UMX610 MIDI Controller from Behringer is an extremely flexible master keyboard with a control section for a wide range of applications. Do you need independent control of hardware synthesizers or general MIDI sound modules? How about control over effects devices? Maybe you just want to operate sequencing software or computer plug-ins from a convenient remote location? The UMX610 provides total flexibility and tremendous ease of use, allowing you to realize your ideas intuitively.

22 Assignable Controllers

When it comes to remote control, you get 8 knobs, 10 assignable switches, 2 wheels (Pitch Bend & Modulation), 1 pedal port and 1 fader, for a total of 22 assignable controllers built into the Behringer UMX610 -- which means total control of your operating environment. Once you've assigned the parameters for a particular scenario, simply store it in your user preset.

Superb Playability

All UMX Series controllers feature the custom-designed key-bed, which has been praised by some of the industry's top product reviewers and players alike for its responsiveness and playability.

More Than Just MIDI

As an added bonus, Behringer has included the UCA222 USB Audio Interface with the UMX610 to access your PC or Mac computer's audio capability.

The UCA222 also features an additional S/PDIF optical output for direct digital conversion and is completely powered via USB--no external power supply needed.
