CME UF 50 And Waldorf Nano Stand Alone Together

July 07, 2008
CME Soundcard Test

Last time on Gearwire, Bill Holland jammed a Waldorf Nano into the back of his CME UF 50. The good news is that the installation resulted in glorious sound. The bad news is that the banks are not accessible as directions would indicate.

In the meantime, check out the sounds that the Waldorf Nano can add for you. Stay tuned for next episode where Bill Holland deals with tech support.

BILL HOLLAND: Okay, so now that we've successfully installed the card, let's see how it sounds.

[BILL HOLLAND PLAYING ON THE UF50 WITH A NANO WALDORF MODULE INSTALLED, EXPLORING DIFFERENT PATCHES]

Now, supposedly there are eight banks in here. I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out how to actually navigate between the banks. I found the patches, there are 128 of them that I can cycle through, and they range from the more ambient stuff there to more traditional synth pop type stuff.

So you can see I can scroll through the patches fine. What I'm having trouble with is figuring out how to switch up the banks. The bank command is right here, but if I go to load it still gives me the patches to choose from. I don't really get the bank choices. The manual says to use knob 3 with layer A on; I can't seem to get that to work either, so for the moment we're going to be satisfied with the normal patches we have on here.

Now we have a variety of other things. You can go through all the patches, pretty much see what's in there...,

...more of a bass sound...,

...and we have all the parameters right here to tweak on the fly.

For the moment that's the UF50. I'm going to come back in a little bit after calling tech support to figure out why we can't access the banks, and then I'm going to take a look at using this both as a controller and a standlone keyboard, but for now I'm Bill Holland and this is Gearwire.Com.

I need awesome gear... I'd like a free gear catalog!
My opinion is awesome. I'd like to take a gear survey
