Omega Synthesizer

The Omega Synthesizer (O-SYN) device is an audio generator that converts note data from a note generator like the Patchwork Note Sequencer into audio data. That data can then be sent to an audio effect device for further manipulation, or to an output device like a Patchwork Speaker so players can hear it.

The Omega Synth has many presets that sound good out of the box, and gives you the ability to tweak the knobs yourself to get the sound you're looking for!

Device Options

All of the settings that can be manipulated with the Patchwork Tool can also be adjusted using the Customize panel in Create mode, or using the Details panel in UEFN.

Other Device Options

In Create mode, walk up to the device and press E to reveal the device options. The options below can only be adjusted in the Customize panel in Creative, or the Details panel in UEFN.

VFX Preview

The VFX preview for the Omega Synthesizer gives you a sense of the audio emitting from the device. It can show the difference between harsh and buzzy sounds and smooth gliding ones.

Direct Event Binding

Following are the direct event binding options for this device.

Functions

A function listens for an event on a device then performs an action.

1. For any function, click the option, then Select Device to access and select from the Device dropdown menu.

2. Once you've selected a device, click Select Event to bind the device to an event that will trigger the function.

3. If more than one device or event triggers a function, click the Add button to add a line and repeat these steps.

Events

An event tells another device when to perform a function.

1. For any event, click the option, then Select Device to access and select from the Device dropdown menu.

2. Once you've selected a device, click Select Function to bind this event to a function for that device.

3. If more than one function is triggered by the event, click the Add button to add a line and repeat these steps.

Using Omega Synthesizer in Verse

You can use the code below to control an Omega Synthesizer device in Verse. This code uses all features of the Omega Synthesizer device API. Modify it to fit the needs of your experience.

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }

using { /Verse.org/Simulation }

using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/Diagnostics }

# A Verse-authored creative device that can be placed in a level

omega_synthesizer_example := class(creative_device):

    @editable

    OmegaSynthesizer:patchwork_omega_synthesizer_device = patchwork_omega_synthesizer_device{}

    # Runs when the device is started in a running game

    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=

        

        Sleep(5.0)

        OmegaSynthesizer.Disable()

        Print("Device Disabled")

        Sleep(5.0)

        OmegaSynthesizer.Enable()

        Print("Device Enabled")

To use this code in your UEFN experience, follow these steps.

1. Drag an Omega Synthesizer device onto your island.

2. Create a new Verse device named omega_synthesizer_example. To learn how to create a new device in Verse, see Create Your Own Device Using Verse.

3. Open Verse Explorer and double-click omega_synthesizer_example.verse to open the script in Visual Studio Code.

4. Paste in the code above, compile, and drag the Verse-authored device onto your island.

5. Select your Verse device in the Outliner.

6. In the device’s Details panel, assign the object reference for the OmegaSynthesizer to the Omega Synthesizer device on your island. You can use the eyedropper to pick the device in the viewport, or use the dropdown and search for the device.

7. Save your project and click Launch Session.
