I think bmanics only point was to point out that the filter doesn't sound good, to which everyone elses response was "a synth is not all about filters". Well, maybe not but he was only trying to tell you that in his opinion the filter doesn't sound good. :lol:

And all I'm trying to say is in my opinion he's wrong. I like the filters. So now what? We keep hitting the ball back and forth across the net or the person who doesn't like the game can go find something else to play........... :shrug:

Why? Are you incapable of forming your own opinion? The only opinion that matters....good or bad....is your own. Even if for some reason you can't demo Diversion, I can't see using other people's opinions to make a decision whether to purchase or not....
That's rather insulting.

I do have an opinion. I happen to *like* Diversion. Nothing about my post should suggest otherwise.

I feel like I gain perspective from rational discussions, even when the topic is something very subjective, allowing for both positive and negative opinions.

Why so defensive? And why such personal attacks?

Just as it makes no sense to me to continue participating in a thread about a synth you don't like....ElectraX was mentioned....I think it sounds like two cats fighting but I don't waste my time posting in ElectraX threads about it because the basic sound will not change....
Jumping to conclusions again. As said above, I 'do' like Diversion. I also like flexible synths.

From what I'm reading it's not subtle variations that are at issue here but the basic bones and flesh structure of the sound....if that changes to please those who don't like it then those who do like it will no longer find it appealing....in other words change the character and you'll simply flip the haters to lovers and lovers to haters....now is it technically possible to change Diversion's sound so it pleases everybody? What do you think the odds are of that being possible or practical? :shrug:
So you're assuming everyone either loves or hates Diversion? Nothing in-between? And that filter variations don't matter? Not to mention (whoops, sorry just did) sches response to me regarding that very note?

Diversion is a great synth with much promise.

Chill.

Fwiw, I'm with the naysayers - to my ears the LPF sounds rather boxy and lifeless, worse at high resonance. And the raw oscillator, at least the sawtooth (!), somewhat lacking in body and presence. In comparison with Zebra's saw to achieve the same perceived volume Diversion has to push some 3dB's above Zebra.

Oh well...

Nicely laid out GUI and architecture.

your black and white summation is not even close to what was said by various people. Maybe try not speaking for others and speak for yourself. Otherwise it is an endless he said/she said with everyone interpreting what others are saying.

... 3dB's..? Wow. :shock:
With that brilliant argument, i don't think the "naysayers" want you in their corner :p

"ohh what side to pick.. what side to pick?! Hmm.. Im going to go with the Naysayers team as the percieved volume is 3db's lower than Zebra!" :dog:

and if you find an osc to lack body and/or presence to YOUR ears.. try to move some parameters like x/y or change osc...? :nutter: Or is that cheating?

Is there no troll moderation on this forum? :(
:hug:

No it's brutally honest......there's a difference. Life sucks get a helmet.......

Jumping to conclusions that I was talking to you.....obviously the reference to ElectraX was not directed at you. Why so defensive?

Good advice you should take it.......

Again this could go on forever.........to what end? It is what it is..........

And therein lies the key word.......comparison.........why compare it to anything? It brings something new in my opinion and I have plans for it to serve proudly side by side with my Zebra 2 someday......... :shrug:

Well we are getting close to the point where Meffy's going to step in....when Monkeys start to throw feces the lock can't be far behind.

Anyway I think it's a great synth that holds lots of potential....others disagree and life goes on......
