Again, there is a choice of several different models based on classic hardware synthesizers. Two envelopes, one for the output amp and the other general-purpose. The rack also offers highpass filter models (pre or post main filter) or feedback from output to input. and more are planned!Īll modules in the upper rack can be replaced - send any of the oscillator models through any filter model to any amp / envelope model. Each filter type closely models a classic analogue hardware filter (or two): You can already choose between Ladder, Cascade, Multi-Mode, Bite. This is where a LOT of Diva's magic happens - Diva's zero-delay-feedback filters set a very high standard of authenticity. If your computer can handle it, try them in "Divine" mode. The behavior of zero-delay-feedback filters when pushed to the limit clearly demonstrates the advantages of this groundbreaking approach. The essence of 7 or 8 vintage synths for about 1% of the cost
Resizable editor window, alternative skins available shortly Even bigger library of gorgeously organic presets Multithreading support for modern CPUs - more polyphony, less overload Up to 40% less CPU-hit than version 1.0
This comes at the cost of quite a high CPU-hit, but they think it was worth it: Diva is the first native software synth that applies methods from industrial circuit simulators (e.g. Modules can be mixed and matched so you can build hybrids, but what sets Diva apart is the sheer authenticity of the analogue sound.
The oscillators, filters and envelopes closely model components found in some of the great monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers of yesteryear.
