Some lists are really totally absurd.

It was often the case, that I thought "None of those deserves a price.", but then I voted for the least shitty ones to make it harder for the real "no go" plugins.

So many old products in the list.

I cast my vote at the beginning of september. Diva all the way! Thank you for this fantastic instrument Urs. Least of all its saved me thousands buying a moog d (no need now since I have one in the diva). And a jupiter 8/6/juno et al. I'm getting rid of my juno this week and if I had a jupiter I'd get rid of that too. I'll put the money towards a modelled oberheim from u-he when available . Cheers.

Well, that wasn't the easiest decision to make, with Alchemy and Omnisphere on the list. I do love the flexibility of these two, but in the end DIVA's irresistable sound means it got my vote. I frickin love them filters! Well done U-he

Another vote for Diva

+1 vote for Diva the best synth in the last year.. their lists are crazy though man... so much nonsense on their lists....

It was a very close thing with Reaktor on the list....

Also +1 from here, of course! Still feels good having paid for Diva.
Knowing you got a great sounding synth helps a lot to focus on being creative.

This feeling also encouraged me to plan to buy Ableton Live 9 legally now.
You have to bleed to fully enjoy a product.
Sorry for going off-topic, couldn't hold back

Off course. Diva has become my number one synth. So here is a vote

It was a no-brainer to vote for Diva. And 50% of the vote in my case came from the excellent customer service from U-He.

One week to go. Now's the time to vote

Thanks,

Urs

I spent ages with the demo and decided not to buy it. Principally because I realized that I actually don't like most analog synthesis that much, and analog synthesis has no novelty or exotic appeal for me as I played synths before the DX-7 hit the scene. So I didn't get Diva for the same reason I wouldn't buy most analog synths or modules,

Nevertheless I voted for Diva because there is no serious question that it is the best of the year. The highest speed competitors are a wheezy additive and a glorified ROMpler (ducks...). Whatever the competition, though, and regardless of whether it works for me personally, Diva is a stunning piece of work, a milestone.

Thanks

Done. That was a no-brainer.

Just Voted. Really nice work on Diva!

Yep, voted. Diva was an easy choice for me.

As for there being so much old stuff on the lists, I kinda like the hat tip to many tried and tested classics, like in the headphones category (which was one of the categories I voted for an oldie goldie instead of new tech). Still a bit weird, though.
