Well spotted... that's one result of writing the manual MUCH too quickly!

Hi folks,

So Messe is over... what about DIVA 1.1

I have a little flaw in the new MIDI Learn...

I must be going nuts. I can't seem to turn off the effects in Diva. When I click on the effect in Effect 1 or Effect 2, I get a pick list of Chorus, Phaser, Plate, Delay, and Rotary. How do I choose "none"? Sometimes I don't want an effect.

I could swear I used to turn off the effects

Thanks.

Click the little LED light.

Ah yes, that was it! It's gone now. I'm using the Divalicious skin. I tried other skins, and still, no LED. I'll try reinstalling DIVA and see if that fixed the problem.

Thanks.

I reverted back to the factory skin and that fixed the problem.

Possible bug?

WinXP rev517

Re-saving patch "Baroq_2a" from the Steempunk DivaPC bank with just one "?" in the author field (rather than "???") results in some of the .h2p text becoming visible in the patch description and the patch will not subsequently load (the patchname shows in the window, but the previous patch is heard).

The backward slash in the patch description seems to be involved - remove that and the patch will save with the single question mark.

Hi Urs,

Diva is a great Synthesizer and I think no one needs another subtractive emulation, but what did you change in the code?
The Demo 4.77 works perfectly, but in the actually version, there's no sound in "Samplitude" - it's the same problem, I had in the Tyrell (first version - I think, you're remember - we've wrote about on "Amazona.de"...). Then you've
changed something and all was good....

Especially this is the same in the new Bazille 0.5 (no sound)- the version 0.4 did working....

Ok - I could upgrade to Samplitude 12 - but for that money, I could buy
a good synth....

thanks,

ciao
Armin (aka Kujashi)

Oh... Hmmm... I have no idea what I did... we'll definately look into it.

Is it possible to put the oscillator (or oscillators) into retrigger mode in Diva so that the waveform starts from beginning with every note on message?

I didn't find retrigger control. Not very good for psy bass if it is not there (unless you are hard-working enough to sample the best individual notes

Retrigger is really, really difficult to achieve with the way that analogue modeling works. Note that we are neither using wavetables nor miniBLEPS nor whatever other method known to man with a strict phase control. We're making a great deal out of simulating free running oscillators like in the analogue stuff.

While silent voices go into bypass state to save cpu, we need to "wake them up" when a new note starts, which means running the oscillators for a few hundred samples in the background. This is crucial for the sound of the transients of analogue synths, which we have improved greatly for Diva 1.1 - a lot of the weird and undesired artifacts of digital synths come from reactivating voices too hastily on a new note. A sync pulse at the right timing might be possible, but we haven't figured that out yet.

However, we're contemplating a digital oscillator model. This can easily be made retriggerable

I know a supersaw of some kind (JP8000?) has been mentioned in connection with a Diva digital oscillator.

Fwiw (which problably in't much), I'd be interested in a nod toward some of the truly "vintage" digital/analogue hybrid synths - Prophet VS, PPG Wave, ESQ80 and the like - in Diva.

A vector oscillator, say, would open up some new sonic territory and would perhaps be in keeping with the Dinosaur Impersonating idea.
