DIVA known issues

[hakey]

So basically, from the pull down you select Env1. Visually you get VoiceMap, but audibly things are correct...?

Yes.

Are you using mouse, mousewheel, automation or MIDI to get there?

Just mouse.

Selecting Env1 a second time replaces the Voicemap text with Env1.

The Env1/Voicemap issue doesn't seem to happen with the new beta.

i notice one small flaw in the GUI - in the preset selection area you can click to scroll on the scroll-bar, but this is not so on the preset folder selection panel. i like click to scroll, especially on a small GUI or tablet.

Cool! Let's hope it stays that way

I will check this out... it will possibly be so in all plugins then...

I haven't read the entire thread, so apologies if this has been brought up.

In ableton live on os x

1. Load diva,
2. hit 'configure' in the ableton gui
3. change the tune mod 1 selector. note that a 'tunemodsrc' fader shows up in ableton
4. midi map that to the mod wheel or something.
5. move the mod wheel to select velocity. (oh yeah, have the tune mod switches in oscbank turned on)
6. It doesn't always work properly. Here's a patch that says velocity but is controlled by aftertouch:

Does this make sense?

I forgot to mention that I'm still on 475. Downloading 477 is taking ages. Maybe these are already fixed?

Here's another possible bug:

1. Load the Dual VCO
2. Set mix to 100%
3. Set osc2 wave to sine and turn off all waves on osc 1. Play some notes and you'll just hear the sine wave.
4. Then turn on a wave in osc 1. I hear it coming through clearly even though mix is 100%

I would think you'd still only be able to hear osc 2. By the way, I have crossmod and sync off.

Is that intentional?

Thanks!

Downloaded the new version and they're both fixed!

I can't open up more than 1 Diva in Cubase 6 (latest version) without it going to hell and back. I play a note on a patch and it blasts out noise and clips my outputs crazily.

Could be filter-FM...
1) Double-click on "FM (OSC1)" in the filter.
2) Go to Modifications and make sure there's no "Filter FM Mod"

There's btw. a new bug in the Modifier section (Multiply/Add etc.) which currently works a bit, uhm, too slow/grainy.

Will fix today.

The Env1/Voicemap issue doesn't seem to happen with the new beta.

Cool! Let's hope it stays that way

Unfortunately it still does it in the modulator section but only for the first two times that it's selected!

Select Env1 for, eg, Rectify and the text reads Voicemap; selecting it for Multipy gets the Voicemap text again; select a third slot, eg Feedback Mod, and this time the text will read Env1.

Selecting Env1 once in, eg, the oscillator section and then selecting consecutive Env1's in the mods section will only get Voicemap once.

Once the two erroneous Env1/Voicemap instances have been used up it doesn't happen again.

In all cases the result is Env1 as the mod source.

Hope that all makes some kind of sense!

Hmmm, it makes sense, but then it doesn't...

I'll need to check this out on a quiet day...

For some patches, there are audible clicks when switch to them (regardless whether using mouse or cursor keys), until each of the available voices has been triggered at least once. I can only hear this with some of my relatively 'quiet' patches (such as this EP sound I posted earlier, but also with some other patches).

I have also found a similar, possibly related issue in one case, when switching from a patch with multiple voices (6 / 1 stack) in poly2 mode to another patch in regular poly mode (also 6 voices / 1 stack; the number of voices does not seem to matter, I suspect the change from poly2 to poly is the culprit here). When I hold some notes down, and continue to play some other notes, and then switch patches, the first one or two notes played after the patch change still receive the envelope shape of the previous patch (and thus may sound completely different than the newly selected patch).

(Urs: I could make a screencap if that helps with debugging?)

Arguably both of these may be considered nitpicking issues, as these artifacts only happen right after (some) patch changes. However, since it can be expected that Diva will be commonly used by many in a bouncing/freezing workflow, it could prove to become relatively bothersome when one would routinely have to dismiss every first round of playback after a patch change before recording.
