Diva - how to turn off the panning/modulation entirely?

[matteoluigiodaro]

Hi I'd like to have control on the panning of a preset - preset which I don't wanna change otherwise, in order to turn off completely or lower the moving effect from left to right and back.

I disabled the effects, Pan, LFOs, Mod (hopefully all), Depth Mode to 100 of Amplitude in Advanced LFO tab (I'm using Volta skin), all the oscillators voice detune knobs back to 0, and I picked "OSC reset" instead of Analog.

I am in triple VCO mode.

The sound is still moving from left to right and back, at a certain rate which I have no control on

What am I missing?

Also generally speaking what is causing certain presets to not start at the same starting point every time we press play? Which forces me to bounce audio in Ableton because otherwise VST is giving random outputs.

Thank you.

In the MAIN tab, there's a "AMPLIFIER | PAN" section. There, set the knob labelled "Pan Mod" to 0.00 aka the 12 o'clock position.

If it's not LFO-driven panning, it's most likely Rotary and/or Chorus.

Rotary, Chorus are turned off and Pan Mod is set to 0.00

It's more advanced than that, the sound is slightly drifting every time I start to press a key you can hear a slight change in the first frequency, like slightly lower/high or left/right, as if it was a modulated sequence starting at a different point in time (which is not, I'm simply using two notes with no enveloppes or effect or panning or velocity change or detuning of one sync vs. another etc. whatsover).

Can I send you or attach the h2p file here Urs, so you could (probably immediately) identify the culprit parameter? Because I really don't want to change this bassline for my track, I precisely like that fact that it sound so analog and lively but this slight annoyance prevents me from going ahead. Would appreciate lot cheers.

Sure, send away! - You can attach it here to the forum.

It's normal analogue behaviour…

Firstly, I hear zero stereo movement i.e. none at all. Are you sure you heard it?

Secondly, the slow tonal drift is phasing between oscillators tuned very closely together: You can remove it by setting "Detune Amt" (in the TRIMMERS page) to zero.

Thirdly: That successive attacks differ like this is to be expected of an analogue synth. Oscillator phases are not necessarily reset per note, in fact they are usually free-running.

So: Read all about Detune, Voice Drift, Variance, Transient Mode etc. in the manual, then try the 'digital' oscillator model. If you have any more questions, feel free to post them here

Haha yes omg because I was using a different skin the Detune & Voice drift knobs were not showing just like in the classic view. I put them to 0 and I have a flat & steady signal again, thank you!

I think I'm gonna spend some time on the manual this weekend indeed )
