What is Next for u-he?

[canum lupus]

I would like to see TyrellN6 finished next, after a really long phase in "work in progress"

That is actually what we're doing right now, when we're not fixing Zebra 3 teething issues (we fixed them all, but new ones seem to pop up right when we think we're ready). The UI team has been busy on a new design for TN6, it's getting there...

We have also made plans for an additional "Pro" version, as has been discussed some years ago. This should fill in the gap between TyrellN6 (which remains freeware) and Diva/Repro for a more easily affordable, crazy good sounding analogue modelled synth. I can't go into too much detail, but it should fill the gap between TN6 and Diva/Repro in terms of affordability and sound quality, as well as kick off work on new Diva models for our younger devs who haven't had much contact with that part of the codebase.

Sounds very, very good! So you already have my money for the Pro version
What else, I already have all the other synths from U-He. There will probably be a reason for this

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Ooh! What new Diva models are you considering?

I would love to do all of them, but we might have to limit it to two or three choices. Would rather avoid raising expectations. I can already say, we still have no CS-80 nor a vintage ARP in our collection (those are requested pretty often, but no can do).

Will existing modules be improved as well, to be brought up to Zebra 3 and Repro’s level of quality and accuracy?

I'm pretty happy with how they are. We could probably extend frequency ranges or something, but I'd prefer Diva to stay backwards compatible.

Couldn't Hive be considered Tyrell Pro at some degree?

There could be a Divine+ mode that only changes the updated modules... then backwards compatibility is maintained.

Ultra Devine.

Agreed. I’d rather have the best and most realistic models available, at whatever CPU cost is needed. After all, she’s a “Diva”.

In my head I have following product matrix:

Hive : Zebra
ACE : Bazille
Tyrell Pro : Diva
Repro-1 : Repro-5

Would it be possible to add a reverse delay option to MFM, or is that just complete nonsense?

What exactly is reverse delay? I guess it swaps read pointer with write pointer and changes direction? I think that would probably be clicky, so I haven't considered it. Also, it's unclear to me what exactly initiates the swap - maybe some kind of tempo synced clock?

MFM2 otoh has that granular thing in the feedback, which can reverse the grains. That is grainy, but it does work without clicks...

Yes, exactly. Playing back the delay buffer in reverse direction.
And yes: It can cause clicks - without further 'processing' ...

Ultra Devine.

Somehow that implies a John Waters collaboration ending with Poodle Poop.
