Does it support MPE or VST expressions? Is there a voice count limitation? 16 would be ok for MPE, specs seem to be unclear...

Even less with the 15% off code.

Is it of any use for those of us who don't use pads, strings, big chords etc. ?
Feels a bit overkill to use it as a monosynth, but if it sounds good..

Every time I try to pay it says unknown error occurred. I tried 3 different networks, trying to install VPN now

To be honest, I've never found a use for it but it sounds so good I like to play it now and again, just for the sheer joy of hearing it.

That's because I'm a discerning buyer.

Could get it for 27 Euro. But then, I have Arturia one. I heard it doesn't sound better or worse. The CPU hit on Softube one is substantially higher. Does anyone have both? I just got Diva for VA and it just surpassed any of expectations. Never heard anything like that so far.

[zvenx]

I have both.
I would suggest you listen to both and determine for yourself.. I think the Arturia one has more presets but doesn't sound nearly as good to me.

Hmm, doesn't sound nearly as good? That sounds like a big difference..

[zvenx]

To me... but others will disagree.. test them both out I would suggest.

Like Diva is really good, great back in the day, but there are other Emulations that surpass Diva in quality to me (like Korg Arp 2600 and PS-3300 and MultiPoly, UAD Anthem, Softube Models (almost all of them) Tal J-8, some of the GForce ones (like their Oberheims) and even u-he's Repro series), none of them except the MultiPoly do as much as Diva those though (in terms of blending/access to different Filters and Oscillators etc)... thus far anyway .

Diva 2 of course whenever it happens will of course, whenever that happens, will change that equation.

The Softube version has a brighter hifi sound to it to make it sound more impressive compared to Arturia's clone that are much closer to how the Original sounds.

[zvenx]

Yeah, I don't recall ever playing the original, so I can't say which is closer, but indeed to me the softube does sound more impressive.
