Main Features of the UR-80
The UR-80 combines two major types of functionality; a Controller that uses MIDI messages to
control your sequencer software or synthesizer, and a USB Audio Interface that lets you record and
play back audio on your computer.
It is the ideal partner for your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software, and will let you perform
music production operations such as recording, playback, and mixing faster and more efficiently.
Fully assignable design
The UR-80 is fully assignable. You can assign any type of MIDI message—control changes, RPN,
NRPN, system exclusive—to the controllers. Using the dedicated UR-80 Editor software you can
freely change the MIDI message assignments. Customized assignments can be stored in the
UR-80's seven user memory sets.
USB interface with 24-bit/96 kHz support
The audio interface is designed for high audio quality, and supports up to 24-bit/96 kHz. XLR
jacks, mic preamps, and phantom power are provided, allowing you to use condenser mics for
serious recording.
A high-impedance switch lets you connect a guitar directly, and both optical and coaxial type
digital input/output jacks are provided.
Comes with "Hyper Canvas" software synthesizer
The GM2-compatible Hyper Canvas software synthesizer is included, providing 256 sounds +
9 drum sets. You can use it in conjunction with your DXi- or VSTi-compatible software to start
producing music immediately.
MIDI interface functionality
The UR-80 includes a USB MIDI interface with FPT support. Even when the UR-80 is not connected
to your computer via USB, you can use it as a MIDI controller via its MIDI connectors.
V-LINK support
The UR-80 supports V-LINK, and can be used in conjunction with video devices such as the Edirol
DV-7PR for video-integrated performances.
