Common UVI Drone Texture and Atmosphere Designer Questions
How do I assign MIDI CC control to the Macro knobs for real-time tweaking in UVI Drone?
In the UVI Workstation (or Falcon) plugin environment, use the MIDI Learn function (usually right-click on the Macro knob) and then move your desired MIDI controller knob to establish the connection. UVI Drone utilizes the host's MIDI learn system, so ensure it is enabled within your DAW.
Where are my UVI Drone presets/patches stored, and how can I back them up?
UVI Drone uses the host UVI Workstation or Falcon's preset management system. Presets are typically stored in your UVI Soundbanks folder (location varies by OS and installation). You can back them up by copying the relevant `.ufs` soundbank file to a safe location.
I'm not getting any sound from UVI Drone after loading it. What's the first thing I should check?
First, ensure that the Wave Player sections (A & B) are loaded with samples, that the volume sliders for each wave player are raised, and that the master volume knob is turned up. Also, verify that your MIDI input is correctly routed to the UVI Workstation/Falcon instance hosting Drone.
How do I create evolving textures using the motion recording feature in UVI Drone?
Activate the 'Record' button next to any Macro knob and then adjust the knob in real-time; the motion will be recorded and played back in a loop. You can then adjust loop points and record over existing motion to create more complex textures.
What are the key differences between the 'Grain' and 'Tape' modes in the Wave Player section of UVI Drone?
The 'Grain' mode provides granular synthesis capabilities for chopping and manipulating the audio samples, creating glitchy and textural effects, while the 'Tape' mode emulates tape-style playback with options for pitch shifting and time stretching.
