Very nice, I really like it!
Especially that you get a complete overview in one page.
Also nice that you also included some presets with it.

The idea to already have some controls in the preset browser is also a good one. Could you add Arp on/off there as well?

You mentioned that the preset pack is only the "Lite" edition right now. Will the full preset collection be added later?

Ah, arp definitely should be there! :dog:
I did it in Hive Izmo skin and it's very convenient when you want to turn OFF arp and play your own phrases.
I'll add that. Maybe there is still some small room (height) for it.

As to presets, yes I'm gonna make a "full" version, but it will be a separate product from MONA. My secret plan is that the lite version in MONA will work as an appetizer to buy the full version 8)

You're an absolute genius plugmon! This is sooo fresh and inspiring. Amazing job
:hail: :clap: :clap:

Wow, this is amazing. I’m absolutely buying this for Diva. Great job, you have a real talent for GUI design.

Thanks! Bought! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow. Not missing out on intro sale... I'm new to u-he, and your guis and soundsets are amazing. Analog anthem and FM anthem for hive are top of my list... Hoping you're doing a sale at some point this year.

Absolutely beautyful...

Gorgeous GUI. Very well laid out with some clever features (like the mini controls in the browser and preview of the modules used). This is next-level stuff in terms of Plugmon GUI's. Fantastic progression. Thanks!

Very nice!

this looks really good. digging it. nice work as usual!

This looks beatiful, when the sale ends?

A bit of nitpic to DCO module, why it didnt resembled the original device like other modules?

Sale is currently planned to continue like 2-3 weeks, but it depends a bit on how the sales goes.

Actually the models of Diva modules are quite complex; Dual VCO is a composite of Jup 8 and 6. DCO is that of Jun 60 and alpha. The skin borrows the ideas from all these model synths.

Why not the orginal layout (DCO) was my first thought too. At the same time I think it's a smart design and I don't have a problem with it.

One additional DCO nitpick DCO though. I think a dark instead of a white surrounding at the DCO display would like a bit easier on the eye?

Idea: A possibility to disable the scope in some way? Super individual thing I guess, but it's a bit too busy for me visible all the time. I'd be fine when the ui stays but no waveform is drawn. Like when no sound is playing.
