Unimidi umx midi_unifier

UMX software/hardware series enables single gesture music setup management, maximising music
expressiveness and freedom during the performance. UMX promotes homogenisation and
interoperability between instruments.

Our software UMX is designed to assist musicians in bringing the detailed sound nuances of studioproduced music to the stage.
It has universal compatibility, acting as a virtual midi controller for physical/virtual instruments, DAW’s and all midi-controlled devices.
A series of dedicated Unimidi devices has been especially designed to control the software, which can also be mapped to any standard midi controller.

UMX is a virtualised MIDI controller, a freely configurable environment allowing musicians to gather all the necessary “knobs and buttons” in a single interface.
The ultra-fast MIDI transmission to multiple ports enables simultaneous interaction with a large
number of devices and programs within a musical setup that is freely definable by the user.
MIDI protocol is invisible. UMX software provides a graphical representation of MIDI messages such as Control Changes, translating them into sliders and buttons that users can manipulate visually.
UMX aims to align with the values of the MIDI Manufacturers Association and the MIDI protocol itself, which emphasize standardization, interoperability, and ease of interfacing. Our definition of “MIDI_Unifier” refers to a new category of devices and programs that embody these principles.

UMX has been designed to regain spontaneity and enhance expression in the modern music
performing environment. UMX allows musicians to harness the full potential of their setup thanks to the multiplicity of simultaneous controls.
The performer decides when to trigger every new music scenario, without the constraints of the
timeline, allowing themselves to catch musical inspiration.

UMX communicates through all the physical and virtual MIDI ports available to the computer. On
macOS, it can generate its own virtual ports. On Windows, it requires a third-party driver for the virtual output ports (multiple reuses of the same input port are already possible).
The software also allows the connection of multiple instances of itself running on different machines, even virtual ones. We plan to implement a multi-instance architecture on a single machine, thereby exponentially increasing the MIDI transmitting capacity for large digital orchestral ensembles.

The UMX software and UMX_100 control device are already available for purchase through our
website. While these are handcrafted semi-professional products, we aim to expand our potential
user base by further developing our software solution and aligning ourselves with the current
standards. In addition, we plan to invest in the development of many other devices, some of which are already at the prototype stage, while others are still in the conceptual phase.

Due to the architecture of UMX software, and its associated devices, we have a keen interest in the 2.0 protocol, MIDI-CI, device discovery, and MIDI over Ethernet.
We see the natural evolution of our software towards the model of a “MIDI DAW”, progressively
becoming an “AUDIO-MIDI DAW”, whilst maintaining its core concept of “Midi_Unifier”.
We also see an evolution towards operation with and without a computer. The future series of Unimidi products possess MIDI and audio ports, and will be able to function and run UMX without the aid of a computer.
We plan as well to develop a dedicated App and hardware for mobile devices use.
Unimidi has a huge interest in AI engines integration. In the future users will be able to freely
manipulate the software interface, obtaining their own custom “slots”.
