Hi,

I am planning to buy one of this Vsti Synth: Diva or Zebra2 but I am not sure which one to choose. I read on Jim Aikins Keyboard review that Diva has no Arpegiattor and for me this is a very important feature in a vsti. Is it correct that Diva has no arpegiattor? If so I have decided it. I will look for one with arpegiattor. Besides it which one is more suited for Berlin School/Space/Ambient/Soundtrack kind of music? Not Dance music at the moment.

Is there any comparable chart between this two beasts?

Thank you very much.

Diva does have an Arp

For ambient and soundtrack I'd take Zebra... It is far more versatile sound wise.

Make sure you thoroughly try the demos of both of them out before buying.
I find Diva to be the better synth for some of the styles you posted.
Make sure your computer can handle high cpu usage levels with Diva.

Ok, and which one is simpler to program? I am very used to old Analog Subtractive synthesis and PCM hard synths.

Thank you

Download both and demo them,Diva is a classic subtractive,Zebra is more modular with wavetable & FM

There is a $ 50 off discount if you exchange your old hard synth with a new Zebra. Maybe by Christhmas we can have another surprise. Lol.

Totally agree. Diva is times simpler until the moment you want extra lfo, extra env, noise level or pre filter overdrive

You would enjoy Diva it's more real than hardware analogs.
Have you tried demo?
