Create emotive synth sounds and layers with remarkable analog character. 

What it is:
An analog modeling sound designer's choice for synthesis. 

How we use it:
Use on any production to create an analog synthetic texture like no other synth can do.

Why it's cool:
With more than 1200 presets its easy to find any tone that's right for the project. The Spirit of Analogue

DIVA - Dinosaur Impersonating Virtual Analogue Synthesizer
The oscillators, filters and envelopes closely model components found in some of the great monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers of yesteryear. Modules can be mixed and matched so you can build hybrids, but what sets DIVA apart is the sheer authenticity of the analogue sound.

This comes at the cost of quite a high CPU-hit, but we think it was worth it: Diva is the first native software synth that applies methods from industrial circuit simulators (e.g. PSpice) in realtime. The behavior of zero-delay-feedback filters when pushed to the limit clearly demonstrates the advantages of this groundbreaking approach. Check out more than 1200 presets. If your computer can handle it, try them in "Divine" mode.

Filters
This is where a LOT of Diva's magic happens - Diva's zero-delay-feedback filters set a very high standard of authenticity. Each filter type closely models a classic analogue hardware filter (or two): You can already choose between Ladder, Cascade, Multi-Mode, Bite.

Envelopes
Two envelopes, one for the output amp and the other general-purpose. Again, there is a choice of several different models based on classic hardware synthesizers. The characteristics of amp and filter envelopes within the same synthesizer often differ.This important detail has also been carefully modeled.

Mix & Match
All modules in the upper rack can be replaced - send any of the oscillator models through any filter model to any amp / envelope model. The rack also offers highpass filter models (pre or post main filter) or feedback from output to input.

Effects
3 x analogue chorus, 2 x analogue phaser, plate reverb, stereo analogue delay, rotary speaker emulations. The two effects are arranged in series - you can even use two plate reverbs, one after the other.

Modifiers
Modulation processors: Rectify, quantize, multiply, invert, lag, add modulation sources before using them. There are also several modulation options here that aren't available in all the main panels (e.g. filter resonance, feedback).

Trimmers
Diva shows her most esoteric side here as she saucily flashes those voice activity indicators! As well as detuning individual voices, a voice-specific offset is applied to cutoff, envelope times, pulse width and glide.

Scope
Every synth needs an oscilloscope! Diva has a no-nonsense scope that only requires two knobs - frequency and scale.

Patches
Diva comes loaded with over 1,200 presets sorted into various categories . Select a folder from the bottom left panel, then a preset from the main area.
