Troubleshooting guide

The delay time and the delay factor is combined in one 'time' knob ranging from 0 to 127.
The 'VCF polarity' (0-1) and the 'EG intensity' (0-31) are combined in one 'envelope amount
knob ranging from -31 to 31. Same for the Autobend.
Also, you may have noticed that some knobs show more values than the corresponding
parameter on the DW. For example: the OSC 2 Interval knob has 8 steps where the parameter
is supposed to have only 5 allowed values... Well, i just tried to send 'out of bound' values to
the DW and it worked ! So with UniSynth you effectively can create sounds not accessible from
the DW8000. The extended parameters and values are:
– OSC 1 octave : one more step brings the base pitch 5 semi-tone above original max.
– OSC 2 octave : same
– OSC 2 interval : three more step above 7
th
chord : zero (does nothing), 12 (1 octave up)
and 32 ( 2½ octaves up !)
– bender range : three more steps above +- 12 : 13, 14 and 15.
The Command Panel
The command panel has three buttons, Init, Rand and Morph.
They give access to advance features affecting all parameters.
The Init button will set all parameters to a simple saw sound. A good start point to build a
new sound from ground up.
The Rand button will set almost all parameters to random values. Creates great sounds if you
are lucky ! Note that some parameters are not changed like the keyboard settings (having
portamento on all sounds is boring...). Also some parameters have 'weighted' ranges : i.e. the
autobend start level is most often equal to low values... but not always. On the opposite, OSC
levels are rarely set to low values, because you wouldn't ear much.
Tip:If you ear no sounds after a random set, try first to raise the cutoff level.
The Morph button allows to set parameters between two sounds.
When you click the button, you have the option to load a second
patch from the disk.
Select the patch file, the window title will then show the two patch
names and the Command Panel will show a new knob and a new
button.
The knob controls the 'morph level' between the two sounds, the value expressed in % show
the part of the Patch #2 in the mix. At 0%, only sound from Edit Buffer is used, at 100% only
sound #2 is used.
Note that at 50%, OSC Wave values abruptly switch from Patch 1 to Patch 2. Also, to avoid
sound stutter, the morph jumps by steps of 10%.
During morphing, other knobs and buttons are disabled.
When you have the right morph level, press the Done button. The Edit buffer parameter will be
set to the obtained values and you can resume normal edition.
