A Quick Tour of UniQuest For EWI 4000s

34 of 44 UniQuest for EWI 4000s

2.5 Automatic Patch Generation Tools

UniQuest also features four very powerful tools for creating new EWI 4000s presets

automatically. Simply select 2 or more existing presets in your current bank and

click on one of the following buttons:

The Mix button creates a new Bank of Presets by randomly picking param-

eters from 2 or more selected presets. The probability of the parameter coming from

each of the selected presets is equal. Each new preset is a random combination of

the selected presets.

The Blend button works exactly the same as Mix except that it combines

larger chunks of data from each preset thus maintaining more of their overall aural

characteristics.

The Morph button creates a new bank of presets from 2 source presets by

incrementally transposing the settings of the first preset through to the second pre-

set's settings. This function is ideal if you are trying to find a sound that is some-

where between two given presets.

The Gen4 button opens the Patch Generator 4 Dialog, and is active only

when you select 4 presets at the same time. The Patch Generator 4 Dialog creates a

bank of new presets by mixing the parameters of the four selected presets. The per-

centage of each preset is determined by the location of each of your mouse clicks, as

shown here:

In each case, an entirely new bank of presets is generated from the selected source

presets. You can quickly try out these new presets in your music by auditioning

them and keeping the ones you like.
