DIVA known issues

[Crackbaby]

I have a pad here using dual vco 2 + hpf sallen key + lpf sallen key + adsr analogue x2

I have it set to 5 voices and if i play around using all five voices the synth will go mute after a few seconds. Hitting play or stop, the sound comes back again. It's like it's holding it's breath
It's only when using HPF Sallen Key and 5+ voices this happens.
Shall i upload the patch, and if so, where? is there an email?

Im using Orion 32 bit, win 7 64 bit, i5 2500K @ 4.3Ghz, 8Gb ddr3 and SSD boot drive (where everything is installed to). Soundcard is m-audio delta 24/96 pci.

I made the text bold for those with RTMP*-Syndrome.




(*read to many posts)

Edit: Just to make it clear - I can play far more than 5 voices and one instance only otherwise.

Edit2: Watching the resource manager i see one core going up to .. 80% just before there's silence (then it goes down until i hit play/stop and it goes back up and then down as the notes fade out). There's no 80% cpu limit set in Orion and there's no such option (from what i can tell). In energyXT i only hear crackles and pops once i reach a similar threshold.
Maybe is a cpu issue after all.

tiny bug: When some preset folder has enough presets that Diva's UI shows those presets in 4 columns, preset selection with mouse click doesn't fully work. If you click the name of the preset in 4th column, Diva selects a preset from same row but third column. If you click the preset to the right from preset name, then Diva picks the right preset.

In my case the 4th column has only short preset names: WIP,WIP2,Wobbler.

Not strictly speaking a bug...

Play a patch with delay enabled.

Switch to a patch with delay disabled.

Enable delay and you should hear the tail of the delay from the previous patch.

That's not a bug, I would consider it a welcome feature. That's something that I'd actually want to hear if I'm switching between patches on the fly, playing live. Cutting off sound from previous patches is not something I like to hear on a synth.

Maybe, but if you're playing live and you cut from a patch with delay to one without (which will cut off the delay anyway) and then, sometime later, to another with delay on, you will then hear the delay tail that was cut from the first patch. Would you want that in a live situation?

First off, great job, Urs et al! I know what I'm getting for myself this Christmas.

Diva is tremendous fun to play with, and a beauty to behold. (Mostly…) I haven't come across any bugs beyond the ones already mentioned in this thread, but there is a GUI thing that bothers me a bit: the Patches view.

I can't seem to get used to having the preset folder hierarchy below the multi-column list of presets. Maybe I'm the only one, but I find it strangely awkward and unintuitive to have to go down "into the red" to select a folder, and then up to select a preset.

If the design isn't yet set in stone, I would like to cast my vote for a structure like in Ace and Tyrell, with the folder hierarchy to the left, presets in the middle (multi-column), and whatever's been entered in the info fields in the right-most area. To me, this would be clearer, and easier to take in at a glance, than the present layout. (Right now, no patch info is displayed, so I'm guessing some work remains to be done in this area anyway.)

Cheers,

Call me crazy, but it seems like LFO2 rate affects Rotary1's Slow (i think)

You're crazy.
Or - perhaps you have LFO2 modulating e.g. pulse width, and that's only noticeable with slow Rotary?

Should the phaser continue sweeping (albeit very slowly) when the rate knob is set to 0.00?

Ableton Live 24/96 High Quality. Playing with Ingos patches "Horny Jupiter" acts fairly normal (2% CPU no keys pressed), selecting any of the patches JP-8**** or Jupiter 8 gets CPU jump to 6-7% no keys pressed and intermittent CPU spikes while playing. Only seems to happen in AU not in VST.

[hakey]

Re phaser rate: with sync on, decrease rate and when it reaches 0.00 the sweep suddenly becomes very fast.

EDIT: The rate knob increases rate for higher amounts with sync off, but decreases rate for higher amounts with sync on?

crashes logic 9 on mac osx 10.6.8. when switching through self made presets, does this quite randomly, not always.

With the dual VCO module it seems that 8' and 16' are the exact same!

from lfo to lag input, then from lag INPUT to rectify input, rectify output to cutoff..

I cant get it to connect to the lag output so i guess it's just graphical.

Another issue:
I wanted an envelope to sweep twice the amount so i pulled two wires from env2 to the Adder which then doubled. After that i couldnt connect the output of the adder to any other of the modules (ie rectify, lag, quantize) but only to, in this case Tone1. Is there a limit on how many [insert a unified word for invert, rectify, lag, quantize, adder and multiply here] you can chain?

Last thing.. If it's called Adder, shouldn't it be called Inverter, Rectifier, Multiplier etc also? Or is it names from the old school modulars?
(im not asking for a change on the labels, just tossed up the question )

Now i could confirm the same bug i already reported for the Dual VCO module for the Triple VCO:

If i switch VCO either to a coarse tune of 8' or 16' i always get the pitch of the 8' one and if i switch to 32' i get the pitch of the 16'. I could not get the pitch of the 32' with VCO1 like i do with the other two VCOs.

For VCOs 2 and 3 this seems to work in a normal way.

You could test this easily use only VCO 1 and switch from 2' through 32'. You should observe that from 8' to 16' the pitch does not change. Same for the Dual VCO module.

I used the version 360 for Windows.

Could anybody confirm this bug?

While reprogramming some Minimoog patch sheets this was quite annoying, especially for a patch which uses 3 OSCs at 32'.
