Having spent about 8 months with the Diva in the studio and on the run I love it. I have an assortment of analogues and I've come to the conclusion they are simply no longer needed. The tonal range on offer with the Diva is so wide and the sound quality is on par with every analogue I have. I actually even prefer it. Aside from the tempest the Diva can cover the rest. I'm rather pleased with it.
Any of you guys replaced your analogues with the Diva?

I never look at a new thing as replacing an old thing. Diva merely augments my analog synths. Damn fine synth though...
Incomplete list of my gear: 1/8" audio input jack.

I can layer any synths I want in Live and save it as a preset. So any synth has 8 layers if I want it to.dalor wrote:For sound design it still doesn't replace LuSH-101 with it's 8 layers. I own both and each have their place.

Im broke so I may sell my Moog Source, as on simple patches (which is all source can do anyway) Diva is very close. Its just a shame that with more filter closed sounds - it sounds a bit muted to me. I find with my analogue stuff even when you have the cutoff closed - there is air in the sound. Ive heard a few people say that also.feeltheillinois wrote:Having spent about 8 months with the Diva in the studio and on the run I love it.

However I have an OB8 and Diva cannot replace it at all. In fact I am not really liking Diva for polyphonic sounds-because I dont think its Osc are ideal for the type of poly sounds I like (I prefer OB or P5 style for this). Plus I still find the high end a bit strident. I wish Urs would have introduced that muffle parameter he talked about...
Its good tho for sure. Not sure it could be my only 'analogue'...

I had a Tetra and a Mopho at one point. I thought the sound was amazing, but I seriously hate working with hardware synths. No multiple instances unless you actually have more than one, no offline bouncing, keeping track of patches with your project...feeltheillinois wrote:Having spent about 8 months with the Diva in the studio and on the run I love it.

I was thrilled when Diva came out and happily sold my hardware synths. The same thing happened for me with my digital hardware synths with Sylenth, although I am using z3ta instead now.
Honestly I think if I were to really narrow things down to two synths, Diva covers all analog sounds and z3ta covers all digital. I like having a few options for different character though. Lush and U-No-LX are really nice too.

It's not a workaround, it's actually so convenient I usually prefer using it even if a synth itself has layers (and I can also layer different synths/effects within the same structure, defining control macros and velocity splits etc, and simply drag the whole thing into my library to be reused somewhere else in an instant, that sort of thing).dalor wrote:Thats nice that you have a workaround.pdxindy wrote:I can layer any synths I want in Live and save it as a preset.

We expect a reasonably powerful arpeggiator in April (Musikmesse). We also hope to have some other stuff till then (well, depends on how many issues are still found within the current public beta testing)V0RT3X wrote:I sure would like to see a good arp in DIVA.

Thats ACE! *Pun Intended*
I don't normally use arps that much, but I am starting to really like them for modulation sources!
I am going to be re-buying all U-HE stuff back soon enough <3
