Hardware required for Diva, what are you using?

[Fritze]

Not sure yet which brand exactly (Samsung 599€ (+20€ for 8GB) with non-glare display and 3xusb2 is my favorite, alternatives are Asus 666€ (better gpu, 2xusb2,1xusb3) and Lenovo 699€ (better gpu,4xusb2,blueRay burner)).
(best comparison site I found was cyberport.de, just search for the cpu there).

I normally compare these things at hardwareschotte.de. Cyberport tends to be on the rather expensive side from a few comparisons I made.

Please excuse my ignorance but does DIVA require Kontakt to run? It still says that on the belamedia web site. If not would Diva run In Logic Pro 9?

I had to look that up. The belamedia website you're referring to has a product which is called Diva Revamp, which is a sample library and does require Kontakt.
The Diva to which people refer to in this threat is a syntheziser made by U-he: http://www.u-he.com/cms/diva
The latter doesn't require Kontakt, works perfectly well in Logic but does require a fast PC

EDIT: to avoid any confusion, they're completely different things and not related at all.

Thanks BDeep, I can't tell from the web site if the software can emulate female singers, the sample recordings seem to have the sound of singers sometimes but also a lot of synth leads, which is it? If it is a singer can she be programmed to sing Lyrics? Can the vibrato be user controlled?

You're welcome.
U-he Diva, for all synth sounds, can't do vocals....
Belamedia Diva, I don't know anything about this, but what I understood from reading their site, it's female vocals.
