I just bought this theme... both the manual with the theme and the manual for the Diva plug-in mentions how to install them... but unless I missed it, not how to activate them?

Am I blind? I can't see where to select the installed theme?

Did you try right clicking on the GUI and selecting it from there?

Thank you for purchasing MONA!
Just the other day, I provided support for the same issue. If everything goes right, there's a menu item "default skin" on the preference panel:

Image

The behavior of the "default skin" item not appearing in the settings panel occurs when Diva does not detect any custom skins. In other words, there is a high likelihood that the file placement structure is incorrect. For instance, placing the parent folder containing MONA in the theme folder, or (on Mac) confusing the user library with the system library, could be potential reasons for this issue.

After unzipping the package you get the folder named "MONA v1.0.3 Install Package", but what you have to install is the folder exactly named "MONA" put under the folder "1. Install Themes".

Following is the correct folder structure on Mac:
Image

On Windows, it would be something like:
C:VSTPlugins:u-he:Diva.data:Support:Themes:MONA

If the folder structure is correct, the option "default skin" should appear.
Also, as simmo75 suggested, MONA should appear in the right click menu if correctly installed.

Image

Although selecting from this menu does not allow you to set it as the default skin, this menu serves as one means to verify whether at least a skin is being detected.

I just remembered that I had tried a theme before, and that doesn't show up anymore either.

So, do the current CLAP MPE betas which are listed on this very forum not support themes? I just downloaded the latest update posted here a few days ago, and still nothing.

I'm not a Windows man but IIRC the folder "Theme" must be placed under "Support" folder.

Ah, thank you for pointing this out! Moving the folder under support made the themes re-appear.

purchased MONA today. It's absolutely gorgeous. Very well done. Just missing the MPE toggle but imagine it will get updated shortly after DIVA MPE is out of beta :)

yes, the skin is in principle aimed at the stable release. If beta lasts too long, however, I'll add one for beta as well.

Will this skin be updated for the 1.4.8 release of DIVA?

I'm just working on it. It's on a good course and I'll be able to update the package tomorrow :party:
Fortunately MONA had large space on header and it will look like this:

But bad news is that the key focus control disappears on unassigned mod boxes, maybe because MONA uses quite quirky layering techniques to realize the "Massive-modulation system".

Awesome! Not sure what your mean with "key focus control disappears on unassigned mod boxes" but it looks great!!!

Is there a way to change the "supersaw" waveform to my own JP-8000 sample?

It's easy...easy if you are a super-hacker :wink:
That's more than what users can customize.

And IIRC u-he is not fond of using samples as the basis of synthesis.

Update done!
Added MPE and Key Control compatibility. Also, it includes some usability and fun update.

1. Addtitional Red version!

2. Optional larger font images
(*users have to manually replace image files.)
Image
This is a remedy for those who find the font too small when displaying MONA at 80% or 90% zoom rate.


3. Mod Wheel in the Easy Access section

Ahh optional Larger Fonts.. yes!!!

Question though: the Larger font size didn't apply to the preset browser did it? Those are still hard to read for my aging eyes.


Thanks (OT, I hope Izmo Dark is next)
