Product Description

The Behringer U-Control UMX610 MIDI Controller is a flexible master keyboard with a control section for a wide range of applications. It's a controller of hardware synthesizers or general MIDI sound modules as well as effects devices. It can also operate sequencing software or computer plug-ins. UMX Series controllers provide total flexibility and tremendous ease of use, allowing you to realize your ideas intuitively.What is a MIDI Controller?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 when you have lots of devices.22 assignable controllersWhen 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 - 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.PlayabilityAll UMX610 features Behringer's 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 MIDIAs an added bonus, Behringer includes a UCA222 USB Audio Interface to access your PC or Mac computer's audio capability. You can use the UCA222 to connect sound modules directly to any free computer USB port and listen to either the input or output signal via headphones or through active studio monitors. The UCA222 also has an S/PDIF optical output for direct digital conversion and is completely powered via USB-no external power supply needed. Wit

Overall, a great keyboard at a great price, with mostly positive features

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2015

I'll address the main attributes of this keyboard:

1. Key weighting: In my opinion, the semi-weighting of these keys is so convenient and comfortable for the hand it makes me wish all my keyboards had the exact same weighting. This feature is definitely a pro when deciding whether to buy this keyboard or not.

2. Modulators: The pitch bend, mod bend and general knobs are amazingly easy to set with normal MIDI softwares. So far, this keyboard has been tested in Mainstage 3, Logic Pro 9, GarageBand and Ableton Live 10 , without encountering a single issue. They are easy to assign and work perfectly for live playing. Needless to say, the keyboard adapts perfectly to any MIDI software.

3. Sensitivity: This is the one feature that could improve. While playing soft results in a nice and manageable note intensity, when trying to use the full intensity power, the sound will not explode as desired. Say, if you play soft, notes come out soft, if you play normally, notes come out normally, but if you play hard, the notes will not sound as hard as they should, which is a huge downside to playing clean pianos or organs in general.

4. Mobility: This keyboard is preciously compact without being small, which makes it real easy to transport it here and there, and that's a great feature if you intend to use it to play live.

5. Design: The keyboard design is a really nice shiny red plastic, sturdy and seemingly resistant to normal hits. I have received numerous compliments on the aesthetic beauty of the keyboard, seems it actually looks great on a stage.

Satisfactory for the Price

MIDI keyboard controllers in general fall into a gray area between computer controller and musical instrument. Most seem to focus on the integration between device and DAW and fall very short on playability. I am a piano and guitar player and have reasonably good quality equipment in my recording studio. I wanted a keyboard that I could use in a different location, primarily for polishing up previously recorded tracks during the editing process. I settled on this 61 key unit because it has a sufficient number of scales to play a composition but is not so large to make it non-portable.
Here are the things I like about the keyboard:

1. It's light (about 10 lbs), so is easy to move about
2. Because it has limited MIDI controls, it is also thin, allowing it to be placed on a desk easily, then removed. In contrast, most other MIDI keyboards are twice as deep and require a permanent stand or position.
3. With Logic 9, the keyboard is plug and play. Logic recognizes it easily (an additional scan seemed to help the volume level). I haven't spent any time trying to assign controls, but the basic stuff seems to work nicely with Logic.
4. Full size keys. These keys are full size, or very close. They are not as large as the ones on the Roland stage piano I have, and not weighted, but they are large enough so that fingers are not tripping over each other.

Here are the most significant shortcomings of the keyboard.

1. It's light. Not titanium light, but cheap plastic light. This makes it portable but also quite fragile. I have the feeling that it will break. Soon.
2. Build quality. The rotary knobs are actually quite sturdy, but the little black plastic buttons make a loud and cheap clicking noise when depressed, as if I am doing something that they weren't designed for. The red color may be eye catching (or gaudy depending on your perspective), but it's already scratched in a few places even with delicate handling.
3. The keys, though full size, have very little feel or weighting, despite the company's claim that they are semi-weighted. I imagine that there are boards with even less feel, but this one offers next to no resistance to the touch. It's not a problem if you're entering a two finger bass line, but definitely is if you're used to the normal piano weighting of an acoustic or a good stage piano. I also realize that the lack of weighting keeps the unit light and portable, so I can accept this inherent limitiation.
4. Key sensitivity is also weak. There are three settings only-light, medium and heavy, where the keyboard responds with more or less sound. On the heavy setting, I have to literally smash the keys to get much sound, and on the light setting, everything played registers as the same volume. These are not keys that one can modulate at all.
5. As a MIDI controller, it's acceptable, but for someone using a full featured DAW, the eight knobs and a few buttons will be woefully inadequate to control complex parameters. I have a separate MIDI controller, so this is not an issue.
6. There is little documentation with the unit. I had to go online and dig about to locate a pretty sketchy manual on the product. I have not tried the included software, and do not intend to.

For what is available right now, this unit is not bad. It has no sounds of its own, but plays everything that Logic has in its audio library. Just plug in the USB connection and it is ready to go. In order to get a good keybed, such as one made by Fatar or Roland, one has to not only spend significantly more money (probably well worth it) but also has to put up with a footprint that is much bigger. It is this last part that really is the Behringer's strong suit. It's pretty svelte, while the rest of the bunch are enormous. Yet, in the final reckoning, I will not keep this unit. It just doesn't seem to be that well built, and I am not optimistic about it lasting. Moreover, while the size of the keys are nice, the playability leaves a lot to be desired, at least if one is used to real pianos.

Great midi controller keyboard that's build to last!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2014

I love the feel of the keyboard. It's solid, well built. The fader, pitch bend wheel, mod wheel, and knobs are all smooth and accurate. It looks beautiful in person. The pictures I've seen do not do it justice.

The keyboard is very responsive. Velocity sensitivity is accurate, with a lot of variation. I am extremely happy with the keyboard's sensitivity. Note: the keyboard velocity curve can be programmed to use various different velocity curve settings. I did NOT like the default setting, so tried all the different settings and found one that was perfect. If you don't like the feel of the velocity response out of the box like I did, play around with the settings until you get the feel you want.

The "semi weighted" keys are nice. Like synth keys with very light piano-like action. Just the way I personally prefer my keys.

I really like that I can program this keyboard's knobs and buttons, etc., without using a computer, and it can remember all of my settings. The only downside is that programming it without a computer requires that a special sequence of keys be pressed, and that sometime requires that I look at the manual occasionally, because I can't remember how all the options are set. Since I have the manual on my cell phone, that's not a big deal.

The only negative I can see is that the control buttons at the top/back (not the keyboard keys) are a bit loud when I press them, making an obvious click sound. And other than the special buttons on the left, the buttons on the top/back, near the knobs, need an LED to tell you if they are on or off. Since they operate like switches, you press once to turn on, and once to turn off, there's no visual feedback telling you if they are on or off. This is a minor issue and for a lot of cases it doesn't matter. But it would be nice if they had LEDs. Note: after quite some time using the keyboard I have learned that you cannot assign program change commands to the buttons at the top back. This is a little disappointing. They can only be assigned CC commands. The 2 buttons on the left can be assigned pretty much anything however.

The feel of the pitch bend wheel spring action is nice and the movement is really smooth and easy to use. The mod wheel and all the other knobs are also very smooth. They all have a high quality feel to them.

I highly recommend this keyboard. It's very easy to program. It's well built. Has just enough programmable knobs and buttons to keep me happy. And the keyboard keys are very responsive.

UPDATE AFTER OVER 4 YEARS OF USE: After abusing this for over 4 years, playing it several days each week, it still works great. All the knobs work great. The keys are still very responsive. I don't use the buttons much, but they are also in great condition. I only own 2 products from Behringer, this keyboard and the FX2000. I bought both of them over 4 years ago, and they are both still working like new. I was unsure about the Behringer brand when I bought this keyboard. I am very happy with the purchase. Not a single issue and no sign of age after 4 years of abuse. EXCELLENT!

Très bon clavier, complet et facile à installer. Quelque peu encombrant mais un look vraiment sympa avec cette superbe couleur rouge. Behringer est une marque sérieuse vous pouvez y aller sans hésiter.

De nombreuses fonctionnalités disponible sur le clavier réglages/effet/pitch etc.

Pour ma part j'ai vu un peu grand, un clavier plus petit m'aurait suffit mais pour être à l'aise en terme de composition ce clavier 61 touches est le produit qu'il vous faut !
