Product Description

The UMI3 is a three-switch foot controller that connects to a computer or tablet via USB and shows up as a MIDI device. By default the pedal acts like a three-note MIDI keyboard but it can be configured to send CC and program change messages as well. The UMI3 is used to start /stop recording or playback in DAWs, turning FX on or off, triggering sounds or loops or anything else that can be mapped via MIDI. The downloadable free innovative Setup Panel also includes a step sequencer that allows for sending different messages from the same foot switch.

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the audio midi controller. They mention that it works like a charm, is effective, and does a simple job well. The pedal works flawlessly, and is sturdy enough for live use. It works great for recording guitar without fumbling with the mouse. The device itself is awesome, and very useful when you need hands-free functionality. It provides far more real-world functionality and ease of setup.

Great pedal for keyboardists too.
5 Stars
Great pedal for keyboardists too.
In the pic it's disconnected because I don't have it setup for my home studio yet. I'm writing this review in Oct 2020 after owning this pedal since 2018. I used it on stage to control my Mainstage rig and it was WONDERFUL! The build quality is top and feels like it can take a beating during touring and stage situations. If you are a keyboardist and you use Mainstage I highly recommend getting this to assit your stage workflow. I can make setlist changes with the press of my foot. I also programmed a panic mode that saved me a few times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Efficient, Effective, Powerful, and Quiet

Setup was as simple as plugging in to my PC. The control program is surprisingly powerful, and it's easy to use.

The one concern I had from reading other reviews was the sound of the buttons themselves, but I found them actually not to be a problem at all. I live in an apartment where a loud sound on the floor will transfer to the ceiling downstairs, but I found that the UMI3 does not have any clicking sound to the buttons at all. Yes, they do make a sound, but there is no clicking (in contrast to, e.g., the Digitech Whammy pedal), so it's fine to use in a thin-ceiling apartment; furthermore, the buttons do not take any real force to send a MIDI message, so it's still very comfortable to operate barefoot if you like.

It is built very sturdily, and I'm extremely surprised at the feature list for this price point; other manufacturers could take a lesson from Logidy here. This unit even allows for messages to be sent with the release of the buttons, creating a Momentary Mode, assignable to each button individually. The control program can save a static state to the pedal so it can operate without the control program, or you can keep the program open to utilize some interesting and powerful features allowing you to, e.g., create a setup with eight banks selected by the rightmost pedal, each of which changes the programming of the two other pedals.

This unit will accept any Tip Wiper Expression Pedal, further expanding its power, and finally, it seems you can plug in multiple units to the same computer if you need to (although only one can be controlled by the control program at a time). I'm highly impressed, and I'd buy another without any hesitation. Thanks for a very well engineered and quality piece of kit!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding product and Works with Logic Pro X
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2014

This pedal is perfect. It is made well, has high-quality silent buttons and should work with anything that can accept MIDI commands. I bought this to use with Logic Pro X to control transport buttons (play, stop, record). I play a guitar and need a way to start, reset and record tracks using my feet. It was a bit tricky to figure out how to get it to work. I wasn't able to find anything useful on the web. There are two basic steps to get this to work.

First, you have to download the Logidy configuration application from their website. They have an app for Windows and Mac. In the application, you have to configure the buttons to send Control commands. By default it sends Notes. Any control command will work fine. Just pick midi channel that isn't in use and use a different number for each button. Click File > Save to UMI3 and the unit is configured. Super easy.

Second, in Logic, you have to select Option K on the keyboard. This brings up the command list. Find the command you want (e.g. Play), click on it then in the far right bottom of the pop-up window there is a Learn button. Click on that, press the UMI3 button and it is configured. Repeat for all 3 buttons. Super simple setup.

By the way, the UMI3 is not limited to only one control sequence. With their software, you can configure it to send several different midi commands when a button is pressed -- I liken this to a computer macro. press once and do these steps... I haven't personally needed to do this, but I'm sure some of you will need multi-step buttons. It looks fairly straightforward to configure. Their software is basic, but powerful enough to get the job done.

3.0 out of 5 stars It does what I need it to do, but is expensive, and required repair out of the box.
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016

First things first, the UMI3 does what I need it to do, which is launch scenes in Ableton Live with my foot. Button 1 is scene-up, Button 2 is scene-down plus stop, and Button 3 is scene-launch. Works great. Likewise the software to configure the thing is simple and easy to use.

That said, the UMI3 arrived with a non-working button 2. I could have returned it, which would have been a huge hassle, so I opted to take a peak inside to see if I could spot the problem. Sure enough, it was some shoddy soldering work - one of the wires had detached from one of Button 2’s lugs, and appears to have done so due to not using enough solder. Easy, if inconvenient fix.

And that’s ultimately why I gave it 3 stars. If this thing was $30, no big. $80 is a really steep price given what you get. It’s true, it prevented me from having to make my own foot controller and the metal case is sturdy and, sure, it is a niche device, but for $80 I did expect a fully working product without having to do any additional work.

I will say it is much cheaper than the other foot controllers but it does have fewer buttons and overall less configurability. Had I received a working product, I would probably have given it 4 stars, taking off 1 just for the price.

So all in all, it does what I need it to do - not really anything more, but life is better with it than without.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm pretty picky... but this unit is rock solid and is very versatile.

Long time pro DAW user. I got this to control backing tracks for gigs (select next song, previous song, toggle Play/Stop). Solid unit, I love how small it is, and it seems very solid... all metal, good switches. Set up was easy, my DAW (Cantabile software on Win 7 x64) recognized it right away, I selected the commands I want, test... it all worked fine. Then I plugged in my Behringer FC 600 expression pedal... it worked perfectly too. If only everything in music technology were this easy.

I don't agree with the buttons being too close together, they're actually further than my FCB 1010... I haven't had any issues with that, but if you wear clunky boots at gigs then yeah, you'll have issues. I do wish the release and 8 programmable actions would function when the app is closed, but that's not a big deal for my purpose. I really like the versatility of the commands, and how you can program one button to change functionality of the other two (although I'm not using it that way).

I also plan to use it in the studio, to control record and rewind functions on my studio DAW, so I can do hands free recording of guitar. Haven't set that up yet but I'm sure it will be easy.
