What is a MIDI Controller?

Simply put, a MIDI controller gives you the power to take command of any hardware device or software that understands MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). This means that MIDI addressable effects processors (such as delays, reverbs, etc.) and audio recording and editing software can be controlled with a single piece of hardware, a MIDI controller. This can be very handy indeed when you have lots of devices spread all around your workspace or stage.

Velocity-Sensitive Keys

Every UMX610 controller features the custom-designed, velocity-sensitive key-bed, which has been praised by the industry’s top product reviewers and players alike, for its responsiveness and playability.

Recording & Editing Toolkit

To get you up and rockin’ right away, Behringer have included a free download for some popular and easy-to-use recording, editing and podcasting software, plus more than 100 virtual instruments and 50 effects plug-ins. Jam with a virtual e-piano or take off with breathtaking synthesizer sounds, or tweak your sounds with classic-style tube amps and multi-FX – plus high-end studio reverbs, equalizers, compressors, choruses and much more.

More than MIDI

As an added bonus, Behringer have included their UCA222 USB/Audio Interface for plug and play recording directly to your PC or Mac* computer. You can use the UCA222 to connect sound modules directly to any free computer USB port, and listen to either the direct input, or the low-latency output signal via your headphones or active studio monitors. The UCA222 also has an additional S/PDIF optical output for direct digital conversion and is completely powered via USB – no external power supply needed. With the UCA222, you can connect virtually any line-level device instantly to your computer – including mixers or tape decks.
