This hot little USB controller unit provides finger-tip control for software plug-ins and virtual instruments, eliminating the frustrations of trying to use a mouse. Fast and precise control is provided by 16 fully assignable high resolution controllers. Each of these controllers can be assigned to a different MIDI channel which means that multiple plug-ins can be controlled on separate channels. Powerful stuff! Synths and modules can also be controlled by using the UC16's standard MIDI Out socket.

Extended information

The U-Control has 25 memories (including 4 instant access memory buttons) for storing the controller settings of your favourite plug-ins. These are non-volatile too so everything is saved even when the unit is powered off.
