CME (Central Music Company), following on the success of their UF Series Keyboard Controllers released in 2005, have unveiled the latest additions to the UF series: the new UF 50, 60, 70, and 80. They say that, with the same durable aluminum chassis, these digital instruments provide all-new circuit design and the practicality and versatility of a modern master keyboard.
The new UF Series features a redesigned front panel providing more convenient control with many new shortcut functions and the addition of CME’s unique U-CTRL functions.
New MIDI features include a built-in USB plug and play interface, a MIDI in added to the expansion slot, and even a built-in full duplex wireless MIDI interface with error detection and 262 ft range. This wireless interface can be used with CME’s WIDI wireless MIDI line of products for wireless connection of MIDI devices, remote control, and computer interfacing.
New user features have been added to make the new UF Series more playable and versatile. Among these new features are user template save functions, scales and tuning adjustments, increased velocity curves, adjustable aftertouch curves, and increased continuous controller data density.
