Diva has amazing audio-rate modulation. But if you can't program it sell it please to someone who can.
Oh. See? There you go.

You should buy Repro-1 first anyway, as it's not just 1/5 of Repro-5, and you'll want it.

This phrase is trademarked, please get my usage premisson first. :party:

Love Diva, but, I do want that Uhe vintage poly with distortion per voice. Dirty pads get used to death in my stuff. I'll just hold down a chord until I fall asleep.

Repro-1 screams! I like it a lot. I was not going to buy it at first, although, with a coupon in hand, I did. It's definitely different than the rest of the U-he repertoire. Monophonic is hardly a deal breaker. I think you'll really enjoy it--especially if you're after a gnarly sound. :tu:

And as for the Urs shill minions ... KNOCK IT OFF!

I've already demoed Repro 1. Yes I want it but it just depends on when... :wink:

No one can speak for Urs
They like to try tho. Much better to get it from the horses mouth :wink:

Its ok, he is one of the minions :wink:

Repro-1 handles a wider range of audio rate modulation than pretty much anything I know. That of course includes Diva, which keeps her ranges within the limitations of a different (more sweetspottish?) breed of vintage synthesizers.

No need to worry or call anyone names.

Sure, but not AS amazing as it is on RePro-1. Diva does many things great, but RePro-1 is a definitive step up.


Also I can't sell it :P And I can program it just fine. :P

Thanks guys

I tried the demo last night and I hear it does some quite different sounds than Diva. Gotta look into that audio rate mod stuff. But wow - it is the master of arpeggios and sequences! I love arps and this has the arp that I was missing in Diva. It sounds really really powerful too. I can see that Repro 5 looks very promising.
Now I need to go and explore it some more...

The arpeggiator in Diva is actually more powerful than the one in Repro-1. I think what you mean is the sequencer :)

(When software synthesizers came about with arpeggiators that had some sort of pattern control, somehow the borders between arpeggiators and sequencers got blurred. Zebra, Podolski and FilterscapeVA are exemplatory for this, as their arpeggiator can be used much like a sequencer. So people often say "arp" when they actually mean "seq". As we have gone back to separating the two entities - Hive, Repro-1 -, we're striving for precise terminology.)

That said, an internal build of Diva once had a performance-orientated sequencer too. But it was maybe a bit too difficult to use because it lacked visual feedback and UI depth. Adding a sequencer isn't out of the picture, if we manage to dig out the old code and put some effort into development of visuals.

Great! please do!
The main thing in a good arp for me is quite simply the ability to turn on and off steps for the arp and I see that I can do this in the sequencer in Repro 1 when using both the arp and the seq together. One thing I miss is the synchronized start of an arp/seq when using it in "On Keys" mode (which I prefer over the "Always" mode). If you start a bit too late the arp you play doesn't sync.
