It has to be something I am not setting at the get go of mapping it all out.

If this device has assignable controllers and the controllers are set correctly to match the emu c/controller numbers then I would say that the problem is with the way that the chords are being built.

I know this might be a dumb question but, you do realise that if you want to get controller data to effect the E-MUs sound YOU need to assign each controller to the required field of the cords inside the preset edit screen

If you want to perform a simple test to show that the controller is set up correctly try this chord

Source--------------------Destination------------------Amount
Midi A-----------------------Pitch-------------------------100

Now if you have the controllers numbers set correctly the pitch should slide about as you alter the controller level on your keyboard.
If you now alter the source value to Midi B through to L you can check that each controller knob/slider has been set up correctly, and if any knob fails to change the pitch then it needs to be assigned to the correct number on your master controller.

I have a 1st gen UF6 and I love it Metal chassis, nice layout, plenty of controls.
It does work well with my E6400s I can change presets, control volume, velocity, transpose. It controls the sequencer on the Emu as well.

Highly recommend this controller though and yeah they are a little heavy but no heavier than a synth of same size.
I've had mine since 2005 in studio only, no road usage. Think I paid $130 USD thru Ebay too. It was a great price.

Thanks Sturoc,

Yes, i believe the CME UF are quite heavy because a few of the sellers on ebay have commented on this (RE : Postage). i would much rather a heavier keyboard which is well made than a light one which feels 'cheap'.

i like the fact it has a Mod Wheel and Pitch Bender rather than an 'all in one' single joystick.

How many Octaves is yours ?? i think they make 4 x Octave thru to 8 x Octave models ?? i would probably go for either 5 or 6 x Octave range.

Sounds like you got yours for a really good price !!
