I upgraded my computer yesterday and it now has more than enough muscle to handle DIVA...
here's a demonstration.
Thank you Urs & Staff for the awesome work...
By the way, SSM2044 Filter anytime soon? I'm reluctant to spend hundreds of Euros in repairing my Polysix...

The KLC plugins might be very accurate, but, in direct comparaison, the real thing is still miles ahead. Also, KORG decided not to go 64-bit. What a pity for the Wavestation, guess I have to buy a real one now...

No worries about not going x64 with KLC. All Korg plugins work perfectly via bit-bridging and are still very low-CPU.

The Polysix is still one of my favourites for simple, low-cpu, organic analog stuff. A lot of it has to do with the way the subosc is at a certain phase relationship to the main oscillator, at least, that's one of the things I concluded gave it that tone that I liked.
Of course, it probably doesn't compare to the real thing, or what Diva would sound like doing a Polysix emulation (
).

Actually, sub-oscillators are often a square wave at -1 or -2 octaves derived from the main oscillator. In other words, the main osc and sub-osc always have the same phase ase they are sprung from the same source.Sendy wrote:The Polysix is still one of my favourites for simple, low-cpu, organic analog stuff.

Maybe useless information but now it's there. :)

Concerning DIVA, I think one should look at it as a synth on its very own. Unlike many other softsynths, it DOES have a soul. When I first tried it, I wanted it because of all the cool Moog and JP sounds it emulates, but after a while I really thought of it as a real instrument, something that hasn't happened with any other plugin before.Sendy wrote: Of course, it probably doesn't compare to the real thing, or what Diva would sound like doing a Polysix emulation (

Yes it's technically I suppose not even an oscillator, but it adds to the waveshape by flipflopping from high to low on each cycle of the main oscillator.eXode wrote:Actually, sub-oscillators are often a square wave at -1 or -2 octaves derived from the main oscillator.

The thing is, when you have a sawtooth up top and a squarewave subosc, some phase-locked alignments (i.e. where abouts in the saw the squarewave decides to "flip" and "flop"
) sound better than others, and in some cases the subosc can completely cancel into the saw osc and produce a saw one octave lower. At this stage I'm feeling the need for waveform diagrams but, I'm guessing at least some people know what I'm going on about ^_^http://sendy.bandcamp.com/releases < My new album at Bandcamp!
