UC-33 Users, I've got a question.

Post by Alextronica » Tue Oct 19, 2010 7:34 am

Anyone still using this thing???

Anyway I've got the UC-33 not the UC33e so I'm programing it by hand.

The problem I'm having is with saving my changes. As far as I know there is NO save method when editing. it's suppose to do it automatically.

I'm editing Preset 01.

the UC-33 has 4 buttons for quickly getting to the first 4 presets.

After I edit Preset 1 and press Preset 2 when I go back to Preset 1 nothing was saved.

Totally weird cause if I edit Preset 1 and then power OFF then back ON the unit it has saved my changes no worries. I press the Preset 1 and it all goes away!

Am I doing something wrong?

I should add I've been reading the manual and can't find any info. :( And I can't use enigma cause it's not the 33e :(

Hi, can't remember off the top of my head, but you know there's two manuals available? One's the standard user guide, but there's another with much more comprehensive programming info in it - both are (least last time I checked) available from the m-audio site.

Some things to try: after you've finished editing. press "store" and then type the preset number e.g. 03. And then wait the 3 seconds for it to leave edit mode. This is just stuff from the UC-33e, so hope it applies to the UC-33 too...

Haven't used it for a while, but there's definately a method to save your current configuration to a preset.
I think 8O has it quite right already, but the button is "Memory" as far I can recall.

I have one, it was a bore to program but OK once it was done.

from the manual:
To store current settings in a memory location - press MEMORY.

The LCD will flash the MEM and PROG symbols. Enter the number of the memory bank you desire, using the number keys or the + and - keys.

The number on the 3 digit display shows the memory bank selected for writing to, preceded by a P.


To recall - press the RECALL button, the LCD with flash the MEM symbol. Enter the number of the Memory Bank you want, using the number keys or the + and - keys.

The first 4 memory presets are accessable using the 4 PRESET buttons.
