Here are a just few reasons you need  a UMX controller

For playing external sound modules,  rack synthesizers and virtual  instruments
For editing sound parameters of  synthesizers, sound samplers and  GM/GS/XG sound generators
Controlling parameters on outboard  equipment and software plug-ins,  such as effects processors,  compressors and digital equalizers
Remotely controlling software mixers  (functions for volume, pan, mute,  etc.)
Live control of volume and sound  parameters of sound modules on stage
Because they need to be ready for  action in a variety of venues, UMX  Series controllers can draw  operating power from any free USB  port on your PC or Mac computer, 3  AA batteries or the optional  external power supply.

PLEASE NOTE - THIS PRODUCT NO LONGER  SHIPS WITH A SOFTWARE CD. THE  SOFTWARE IS DOWNLOADABLE FROM  BEHRINGERS WEBSITE, SO THAT YOU CAN  GET THE LATEST VERSION STRAIGHTAWAY.

Some older product boxes may still  state that a software CD is inside.  This is in incorrect, as Behringer  no longer make these CD’s – the time  taken between manufacture & purchase  meant that customers were constantly  receiving out-of-date software that  was no longer supported by the  software manufacturer. Replacing CDs  with downloadable software is now  the norm in digital music retail; it  is better for you, the customer, as  it means you download and use the  latest & greatest version of  software, rather than receiving  out-of-date software which will be  incompatible with recently purchased  computers.
