Did Tyrell's mod matrix make into DIVA - "Modifications"?

Nope. Modmatrix might become a future addition. It depends heavily on the implementation of multicore support, as the voice architecture literally as to become multitimbral for that. Modmatrix is too tricky atm

The Modifications panel contains an MS20-ish patchfield for modulation routings. Mind you, the original MS20 does not let you change the signal flow apart from the external input - it can't even do FilterFM. You can only rewire modulations! Same in Diva, but instead of the envelope/frequency follower she'll have an adder, an inverter, a lag generator and such stuff. Nothing too complicated and nothing that one couldn't change through menus on the panel anyway. While that's merely a gimmick for "completeness", the focus is clearly on the sound of the emulations.

Now wee need to HEAR a bit more :D
Would be really nice to hear some classic synth sounds. and maybe some not so classic ones :)

I can't wait to use DIVA with Valhalla ÜberMod by the way. I wonder which will be finished first :hihi:

Cheers

Yep! That's really nice :)
What is going on with the detune knob by the way? The labels seem confusing "7,9,-1,0,1,3,5"?
I guess the red markers indicate that the range goes beyond the original hardware?

Cheers

Each oscillator has a selector for its octave (always 32" to 2"). When there's more than 1 oscillator, then the additional ones have a detune dial that spans -/+ 6 semitones.

Most of the time you'll only want to dial a few cents to detune an oscillator. The detune knobs always work in shift-drag mode for that reason, so the right amount of detune is always easy to achieve.

The -3 and -5 semitones positions are labelled 9 and 7 respectively in red colour to indicate the interval as seen from the octave below. Thus if you want a fifth tuning in the second oscillator, the 7 is easy to find.

We need to evaluate this though. If it's awkward then we'll drop it.

I'll try too noodle a bit this afternoon. Unfortunately we have retune a lot of volumes, so filter drive and resonance are often a bit out of whack at the moment. An example sound might however capture the gist of it...

Okay, fair enough. It sounds like the patchfield will offer some interesting possibilities for experimentation.

EDIT: Scratch that last bit - the patchfield bit is more-or-less cosmetic?

That's my wife on the picture there!

Actually... Leopard side panels sound like a very yummy idea...

Some more innocent noodle (it ends strangely, I got interrupted by a phone call):

Unfortunately there's still a bug in the PWM... it would sometimes produce some low pops that don't belong there - they're not too audible in here. The settings are quite extreme though.

:love: Now that sounds lovely!

neat

Don't hold back Urs, we can always create new skins! :D
