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.

ABOUT DS90S / PRESETS LIST

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.

Inspired by the Ensoniq VFX
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.
Unlimited FX
UVI Workstation offers a wide variety of FX (effects processors) to cover all your audio processing needs. The FX implementation is robust and includes the ability to insert unlimited FX slots in several stages of the signal flow.
- Click the FX tab to open the FX page on the Single view. - In Multi view the FX section is always displayed.
Arpeggiator
To insert an arpeggiator in a part, you need to display the Single view in the UVI Workstation, then click on the note icon.
Using the Arpeggiator:
The Arpeggiator can be employed as a pattern gate, arpeggiator, or even an advanced rhythmic processor for your live MIDI performance or sequenced MIDI tracks. Arpeggiotor can be inserted in an unlimited number of parts.
Stack Presets
Thanks to the simplicity of the UVI Workstation you can stack as many preset as you want by simply assign multiple part on the same MIDI chanel.
Performance : Split, Velocity & Key Switch
The Keyswitch settings allow you to load multiple presets into two or more parts and then dynamically play and mute them from your MIDI controller using key swit-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.
Scroll wheel
All knobs can be adjusted with the scroll wheel on your mouse.
Entering a value
When you double-click on any knob or slider, you can manually enter or type in the desired value.
