TABLE OF CONTENTS
Inspired by Four 90s Wonders
In the late 80s and early 90s the synthesizer landscape began to change.
A new breed of keyboards began appearing in shops, records and on stage;
matte black behemoths eschewing the familiar knob arrays for uniform clusters
of discrete buttons and glowing green LCD screens. They signaled more than
a shift in interaction with our musical counterparts they ushered in the era of
the digital synth.
To those willing to forgo the immediacy and ease-of-editing of the analog synth
world these keyboards offered amazing features for the time; massive polyph-
ony, extensive on-board sequencers and pattern memory, removable storage
and digital effects. In addition to the immediate benefits of digital processing
some of these keyboards also dawned innovative hybrid synthesis techniques,
combining sample playback with classic methods allowing synthesists and
musicians the opportunity to explore new sonic territory.
The possibilities with a few of these classics was more than we could bear
and became the inspiration for our new project, Digital Synsations. We took
4 classic keyboards from the era and set our sound designers loose, tasking
them to return with boundary-pushing sounds and they did. Digital Synsations
includes over 500 patches expertly programmed on a fully restored Yamaha
SY77, Korg M1, Roland D50 and Ensoniq VFX used by many of the greats
including Depeche Mode, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, Vangelis, Brian Eno, Toto,
808 State, Jean Michael Jarre and more.
We deeply multi-sampled these custom patches using top-shelf equipment and
edited them to perfection before sending them off for professional mastering.
These sonics became the foundation for our new hybrid instrument and com-
bined with the UVI Engine give you the true character of these classic synths
with all of the peculiarities and programming byproducts intact. Not only that but
you get them in an extremely easy to use and fast to edit environment complete
with all the features you expect from a modern virtual instrument.
If youre looking for a new take on the 90s sound or
just some new classic synth inspiration then
look no further !

Inspired by the Korg M1
The M1 employs AI (Advanced Integrated) synthesis, a hybrid synthesis engine
that allows the creation of sounds made up of 16-bit multisamples or harmonic
tables generated from by digital analysis from sample data similar to additive
synthesis. These methods can be employed in parallel for even greater sonic
diversity.

ABOUT DS77 / PRESETS LIST

Inspired by the Yamaha SY77
The SY77 combines next generation FM synthesis with 16-bit sampled sounds
from internal memory or stored on removable ROM cards. The AFM engine on
these synths allows you to freely apply filters and envelopes to any of the sam-
pled sounds and then roll the resulting waveforms back into the FM algorithm
prior to further filtering. This novel approach, dubbed RCM hybrid synthesis,
can be used to yield extremely versatile sonic results.

Inspired by the Roland D50
The D50 provided a purely digital signal path allowing the combination of 8-bit
PCM samples with linear arithmetic synthesis to produce single hybrid sounds
or complex cross modulations between the two. Furthermore you could layer
two of these sounds together into a patch for a total of 4 digital OSCs. Each
OSC could be independently programmed resulting in a remarkable variety of
tonal possibilities.

The VFX used a wavetable like synthesis method similar to that of the PPG
Wave. Up to 6 waves can combined and layered into a single patch which feeds
an impressive array of dual multi-mode filters, three 11-stage envelopes, an
LFO and a 24-bit effects processor. Advanced parameter mapping allows up to
15 sources to be used for extremely complex modulations and sound shaping.

MIDI Learn
Most UVI Workstation parameters can be automated via convenient MIDI Learn.
MIDI Learn allows you to assign a MIDI controller to a parameter.
> Any FX tab parameter, Macro Knobs and sliders in scripted instruments can use
the MIDI Learn feature.
To use MIDI Learn:
1. Right-click any UVI Workstation control to assign a MIDI controller.

2. When the MIDI Learn dialog is displayed, send the desired MIDI
controller data from your MIDI device. When you move the physical knob or
slider on your MIDI controller, the controller data type is accepted and the
window is closed.

> The MIDI controller type and the MIDI Channel assignment is then saved in the
multi, or when you save your song in your host sequencer.
3. To remove a MIDI controller assignment, right-click the UVI Workstation control
and press Delete.
Automation is assigned per part
When you assign a MIDI controller as described above, the control is connected
to the currently selected part. This gives you the maximum amount of flexibility,
allowing you to control multiple parts simultaneously.

audio processing needs. The FX implementation is robust and includes the ability
to insert unlimited FX slots in several stages of the signal flow.

ching, note range, velocity range or any combination of the three parameters.This
powerful feature gives you a great deal of real-time control over the instruments
you are playing from your MIDI controller.
