What will be in DIVA: The SEQUAL ??

[Echoes in the Attic]

I think t he prophet 5 would slot in nicely to this framewok. 2 osc synth with crossmod. That would be a great one to add the osc and filter models.

Aside from that, yeah SH101 osc would be nice.

Roland system 100 (not 100m, those are different filters) are one of my faves.
I've had almost all the vintage analogs out there, and certainly each filter have his own signature, even in synths sharing the same IC (i.e CEM 3320).
-The OB8 is a great one but I like the Synthex one better.
-About diodes that sytem100 or a VCS3 filter would be wonderfull.
-The Roland and Korg flavours are covered
-Regarding transistor ladder, try the moog modular filter, is not the same as the minimoog, different character and great sound!
-CS80 filter have its own signature too.
-Finally, a SSM2040 emulation will be great. The best would be a prophet5 emulation, but for the rev.2(SSM) not rev.3(CEM)
-For completing the lot, what about a steiner-parker filter? amazing having attenuators for the LP-BP-HP inputs(!)

AND please, add audio inputs so we can use the wonderfull diva filters with external signals!!!

About CEM, is the filter part of the CEM3372 the same as the 3320 (or other)? 3372 was used in the Rhodes Chroma Polaris, and still like that one very much since I heard it somewhere around 1984 (yeah, that long ago, at the same show I first heard the PPG Wave 2.3- or maybe 2.2? - but it had the Waveterm and processor keyboard. Sadly couldn't afford them then, just a Synton Syrinx, also blue... - how time changes). But could have been the VCO's as well that 'made' the Polaris sound. Anyway, would like to have that sound in Diva (also wouldn't mind for another VA though).

I am not an expert on the internals, but, I've had some conversations with experts and what they said jives with my experience. They are all the same basic design, but there were changes later on which makes the 3320 sound a bit different than the later variants. That said, pretty much all of the late model CEM filters, as used in numerous ensoniq/oberheim/ssi/etc synths are the same basic filter.

The 3320, can be configured quite flexibly. The late John Simonton (of PAIA) wrote a great article about configuring the 3320 and some of the details appeared in the PAIA EKX modules. Still, most manufacturers did little more than the basic lowpass from the CEM datasheet circuit.

I would like to see Prophet-5 and Pro-One and of course some Oberheim synth

Yeah, Diva could use that 'brassy' sound!
