Unison / Micron are PC VSTi subtractive synthesizer. Unison is the full version, Micron a less CPU intensive version with it’s own features. Both Unison / Micron are both very versatile synths and come with a large range of basses, leads, pads and other more unusual sounds.
Features of Unison:
Three paired oscillators which can be added,mixed ring modulated, frequency modulated or synced together. These three paired oscillators can combined in four different FM setup
– Each oscillator can either use five analogue modelled waves, sine with feedback (goes to saw and beyond), PWM square, saw to square, triangle to saw and noise. As well as these you can use user additive waves, 200 additive wave are included in the full version., and you can also create your own using the built in additive wave editor
– Each oscillator pair can be output to one of three filters, which can use 12/24 low/high/bp/br filters and ring mod / comb filter
– 6 ADSFR envelopes, 6 LFO’s and 6 step sequences which can control all the major parameters Also full mid learn and control of parameters using velocity, modulation and aftertouch
– Polyphonic / Mono / Mono Latched / Legato / Legato Latched and Arp play modes
– 3 Effect buses which can be combined in 4 different ways. The effects included are delay, chorus, ensembler, comb filter, phaser, reverb, distortion, autowah & cutter, plus global 2 band eq, compressor and stereo widener
– Two different graphic interfaces, a software one and a hardware one designed by Berend Vervelde
– 448 presets, these include a bank of 64 presets from Tim Conrardy
– Micron is a simpler, more CPU friendly, version of Unison, but with it’s own special features
Features of Micron:
– Three osc with five analogue modelled waves plus 64 additive waves. These oscillators can be arranged in 7 different ways using ring and frequency modulation
– 12/24 db filter with peak separation and key tracking
– Double 16 step trance gate which control the osc volume and filter frequency
– Stereo Delay / Chorus / Stereo Widener / Two band EQ
– Two different graphic interfaces, a hardware one and a software one designed by Berend Vervelde
– 128 presets, these include a bank of 64 presets from Tim Conrardy
Changes:
– Hold stage in envelopes, envelopes can be reset by LFO or MIDI CC, plus envelope presets
– Loop start/finish position in sequences, sequences can be reset by MIDI, sequence swing and key step mode for sequences
– Additive waves resynthesis, using FFT Unison can now extract the additive partial values from samples to create user waves
– Multiple undo
– Preset loading, copying, pasting & swapping and improved random preset function, you can have different amount of randomization for different areas
– Loads of other small improvements & bug fixes
– New manual to take account of these changes, plus some presets from EJ Robinson
