since oscillators are exactly in tune and transient mode is set to analog (and therefore nobody altered their phase), why are they out of phase?

are there other factors (apart from tuning and manual phase adjustments) that affect phase and make each voice sounds different?

Any analogue poly synth starts out with pretty much random phases between oscillators after powering it up. That is mimicked in Diva by initialising each oscillator with a quasi random phase. Your screenshots show this nicely.

Setting an oscillator phase manually isn't a feature in any of the reference hardware. It was added because some people found it beneficial, but it is not how any of the reference hardware - or any analogue synthesiser I know of - works. If you want analogue behaviour, it's best to keep it at its default setting, which is "Analog".

that's the piece i was missing

i also think that DCO hardware synths have in-phase oscillators

thank you urs (as usual)

Not audibly (nor visually). Depending on bit-depth of, say, the counting registers in a Juno-60 DCO, there can be thousands of phase positions that oscillators can be offset by from one another.

You might be thinking of Divide-Down-Oscillators e.g. in string machines and few early polysynths. Those typically have frequencies in phase lock, typically octaves. But then oscillators playing other intervals apart are not in a constant phase relation.
