Diva vs Analogue - a real world test

[Hank the Knife]

Okay, let's all forgive one and other. Somehow I think that's a good idea

Yes, let's assume it was a misunderstanding, and move on
The autumn is here, I guess it makes more sense to look out the window and watch the sun and the clouds play hide and seek

something 'beyond' Diva's core capabilities.

Nope.
Something beyond Divas 2 saws.

[Urs]

Because i believed the OP when he said that it was 2 saws.

Which IIRC he said a few pages later, nevermind.

So, you didn't believe it was Diva, but you believed it was two sawtooths. In future, better believe me from the beginning

We can keep going forever, this thread will have many thousands of pages, the OP will become a millionaire from selling the sound set.

erm, no, that wasnt what you initially asserted.

So if you can't post the patch, then answer this question please:
What did you do (effects, techniques) to Divas recording to CHEAT on this test ?

'effects, echniques' is completely different from merely 'beyond 2 saws'.

Maybe we can keep it up until Diva does the Laser Harp sound. That's probably going to be the time where we'll post our own AB tests.

Which didn't stop you from going in that direction.
Yes at first i dismissed your wave picture, because it wasn't close enough to what i saw on his wave.

So, you didn't believe it was Diva

What ?

No, i believe him when he is saying A is Diva.
I just doubt it is just Diva and nothing else.

From page 29.
I remember now that my thought processes at that time excluded any possibility of there being the 3rd oscillator, because clearly there are only 2 on OB8, so there was absolutely no reason to use the 3rd to emulate the sound.
"If there are 2 saws on OB8, then there must be 2 saws on Diva."
So if 2 oscillators, if wave looks different than 2 oscillators, then something else must be affecting the sound.


And wait !!!
Look at page 29 and notice the smilies after the CHEAT word... and no "this post was edited" under it.
So it looks like everyone missed the playful not serious mood and even i forgot it... lol

Well if we are all fessing up perhaps Mutant should accept the accusation was made before I said anything about the patch used. As Urs says - the initial accusation was that I had to prove A was Diva...possibly motivated by the fact he got the test wrong?

OK... So you are saying that the first sound on the Diva A_B Test.wav is Diva.
Can you post just this one patch to prove it ?
Because to me this doesn't look like an unprocessed, untouched Divas saw oscillator:

So the assumption was made it was 2 saw.

But my eyes (not nose) tell me that something "smells fishy" here...

Ok...

No, i believe him when he is saying A is Diva.
I just doubt it is just Diva and nothing else.

It was 2 pages on that I said it was 2 sawtooth forgetting about the triangle...so I hope you forgive me holding you to account in repayment

So I think it is fair to understand why Urs and I saw this as a suggestion example A was not Diva - and the suggestion that some form of cheating was involved.

I am willing to keep this thread alive if I get 0.16% commission from both synth and presets sales

Ive got a Laser Harp test!

Anyone want to hear it?

That's a hypothesis which would only make sense if the oscillators in Diva were meant to be exact duplicate of the OB8's. It's not the case, though, and that's something you certainly are aware of.
Hence claiming that its somehow 'invalid' to use an oscillator combination that resulted in the right harmonic content, even if that requires an extra oscillator, is disingenuous at best, and dishonest at worst.

[Mutant]

I got the test wrong by gut feeling before i looked at the waveform display.
Then it just "proved me right" because i knew how Divas saws looked like.

Never claimed such a thing, just that Divas 2 saws don't look like in his clip.

Are you saying that the look of the clip doesnt reflect the harmonic content?
