u-He Diva Virtual Analogue.
Diva isn't just a synth; it's a time machine. It meticulously captures the soul of five decades of legendary analog synthesizers, from iconic oscillators and filters to expressive envelopes. Recreate your vintage favorites with stunning accuracy, or forge your own sonic path by mixing and matching modules for a truly unique hybrid synth.
Unmatched Analog Authenticity
Diva goes beyond emulation. It utilizes cutting-edge circuit simulation technology to deliver an unparalleled level of analog realism. This dedication to sonic authenticity comes at a slight CPU cost, but for many musicians, the reward is undeniable. Diva is the first software synth to leverage real-time circuit simulation, resulting in an unmatched level of warmth, grit, and character.
Deep Dive: Oscillators and Filters
The beating heart of Diva's sound lies in its meticulously modeled filters. Combining real-time circuit simulation with zero delay feedback (ZDF) technology, Diva achieves an exceptional level of sonic authenticity. ZDF eliminates the delays that typically plague analog emulation, resulting in incredibly natural and responsive resonance behavior.
Explore a Symphony of Filters:
-
Diva boasts five distinct filter models, each meticulously capturing the essence of classic hardware synths.
-
All filters offer modulation options and traditional cutoff and resonance controls, while retaining their unique sonic character and quirks.
-
Dive deeper with model-specific features, adding an extra layer of sonic exploration.
Envelopes: Sculpt Your Sound with Nuance
Simple on/off switching wouldn't do these legendary sounds justice. Diva's dual envelope slots, dedicated to the amplifier and filter, offer three distinct models each. Craft anything from gentle pads that swell gracefully to percussive stabs with sharp attacks.
Vintage Effects: The Finishing Touches
Add the perfect layer of atmosphere with Diva's two stereo effects slots. These effects, meticulously modeled after classic hardware units, would feel right at home in any vintage studio:
- Plate reverb and delay for lush ambience and spaciousness.
-
Phaser, chorus, and rotary speaker effects for movement and character.
Subtle Details: Bringing Analog to Life
The Trimmers panel lets you breathe even more life into your sounds by introducing subtle variations that emulate the natural imperfections of analog hardware. These variations include:
- Voice detuning per oscillator for a more chorus-like effect.
- Individual voice variance for a more natural and organic sound.
- Voice drift for a touch of realism and movement.
These subtle details may seem insignificant on their own, but they combine to create an undeniably authentic analog experience.
Beyond Vintage: Uncharted Sonic Territories
The Modifications panel unlocks a new dimension of sound design possibilities. With powerful modulation processors like Invert, Add, Quantize, and Lag, you can push Diva beyond the boundaries of its inspirational hardware and forge entirely new sonic landscapes.
