Pretty sure current uhe advice for Diva on newer processors is to not enable the multi threading.

I know it's not the same as MSEGs, but give the shape and trigger sequencing stuff in multi/poly a try. You can do a lot of the same things, but the workflow is a bit different and tends to lead to different results. (I find it easier to make rhythmic stuff with the Korg wave sequencing approach, but worse as a substitute for exotic LFO shapes.)

I do agree it would be nice to have freeform MSEGs in multi/poly, but I understand why they might not want to try to put an MSEG editor in something that also has a hardware version.

Is space-time primary? Is information the basic building block of reality? Are we in a simulation? More questions!
I always find the simulation question to be funny, because what's the ramifications of it? Unless the sky opens up and an entity looks in and says, "ya'll are in a simulation," what's the move, other than to continue on?
have you not seen the matrix? basically, you get to looks cool and dodge bullets. plus you can program yourself to learn kung fu, rather than years of lessons.
its looks pretty cool to be honest, but i havent managed to down any helicopters yet. but i have crashed a few drones.*


* not mine, i just rock up to random strangers flying drones, tell them theyre doing it wrong, and say "let me show you..."
I actually loved the Matrix series, even the horrible one... but not the last one. That actually made me really angry. But it does illustrate what I'm talking about. Tom Anderson finds out he's in a simulation because he's told, and actually, he is told by someone who is in a simulation who thinks he's not in a simulation. So he never leaves the Matrix, which is why he makes the decisions he makes. He realizes that the only thing that's truly real is his feelings towards people, most importantly, Trinity. :cool:

I feel like this Korg synth in particular would benefit from MPE or VST3 note pitch expression. I sometimes like being able to nudge the tuning of one or two notes in a big stacked chord sweep to get more of that choral intonated sound. But, I knew going in that it wouldn't have it, since none of the other Korg synths do. Well, if that's my biggest complaint with this synth, it must be pretty good.

I'd be totally down for that. There really isn't a synth that doesn't benefit from MPE. So good.

Sorry for the continued off topic..

Have you seen this interesting analysis of the last Matrix movie (Matrix Resurrections)? It's a rather interesting take on it and kinda makes it a bit of a genius move. The clever breakdown starts at around 25 minutes in the video. Before that it's just about the plot and his review.

@vitocorleone123, I trust your opinion very much. How do you see the Multi/Poly compared to the UA Opal soft synth?

I ended up with MP, as well as Serum2.

Opal is surprisingly good. Crisp. Much more limited, compared to MP.

However, I deleted it as I just never seemed to enjoy using it. Not sure why,,, probably the interface. If they designed a better UI with the same features I’d try it again. While some things are a little scattered in the MP UI, it’s all there and logically organized. Feels more like using a synth than programming a synth.

The filters on MP are much better. And it’s very very deep. The modulation is slightly annoying , though, to enable and use.

And Novation Peak and Summit because the M/P is also hardware

I did not mean the M/P hardware though. I thought it was clear since we are in the M/P Native thread...

M/P is not an hybrid, no analogue path such vcf, vca, overdrive and distortion

Many thanks, I missed your answer, sorry :)
Yes, I'm also leaning towards the Korg MP now, but for $199 I could also get Phase Plant, and for $49 more, Serum 2, yes
Decisions, decisions... :)
...but then the filters in the MP...

Can we meanwhile set the phase of the oscillators?? please

Would be nice, but I didn't even bother to put in a feature request for it, because I don't think they view it as that kind of synth. Very few analog polys let you do this. Diva lets you do it, as a bonus, but it's not something you'd be doing on nearly any classic analog poly.

I *sometimes* would like it for more consistent bass attack transients, but it doesn't do it, so I go elsewhere to make those kinds of sounds.
