I really like the new Bazille GUI the old one was a bit under detailed. Your not going to get something as god as the new DIVA because Bazille has to many knobs fighting for little space. Very limiting choice for a designer can't wait to get Bazille. Well done U-he team. I think I will probably run Bazille full screen with there being so many things to look at.

I think what some people are missing about the Alpha GUI is it looked like some old junk that you couldn't resist to plugin and see what you could get out of it.

Quick first sound with the new Diva modules to get an idea how it sounds... This is the digital osc (supersaw options) through the new Uhbie filter.

[pdxindy]

This is the digital osc using the feedback osc and sent to the Uhbie filter. Again, just a quick example to get an idea of the sound palette.

So where's Uhbie3.mp3?

Hey, Urs, I want the beta too !
All the demos sound very promising. I think I'm going to have fun with that feedback Osc

+1! Thanks for posting those examples, Stephen!

Can we also use different fonts for the auto-generated text? Or would that perhaps open another cans of worms (cf. your missing fonts example the other day)?

This is the missing bit, apart from another bunch of final things

I'm not sure yet what to do about fonts, i.e. to truetype or not. We certainly need a full fledged unicode TrueType or OpenType font for anything that can be changed by the user (patch names, description fields), for when there's a time when we finally switch to full unicode support. We then need something like Vera/Deja Vu because I won't spend 5-digit numbers per product to be allowed to embed a commercial font - and we won't ever again rely on the presence of system fonts.

But as long as localisation isn't a big issue I might prefer to do text/labels in the GUI using fonts rendered into bitmaps, and resized by an algorithm that simply re-vectorises those bitmaps temporarily. This should put us on the legal side and allow us to provide for a variety of faces and styles, without the constraints we have now.

Yet another aspect of intellectual property law that is quite complicated and confusing, as there is a lot of difference between jurisdictions on this topic.

The new look of Bazille is nice. I haven't used it a lot though, the interface is a bit intimidating. Maybe the "channels" will be useful for new users.

So where's Uhbie3.mp3?

I preferred the Uhbie4 version... but I see that 3 has reached the light of day!

[pdxindy]

And with the mystery of 3 solved... here is 7 Playing around with filter settings (and PW)

honestly from these few examples i think this is marvelous sounding synth. Great work pdxindy (and people at uhe)..

[djanthonyw]

Was there a new beta posted somewhere or is it a private beta? If it's private, I would love to check it out if possible.

[olikana]

btw with
-new filter
-arpeggiator
-digital osc (with feedback oscillator!)

if u slap in the overdrive features of the subphatty (btw it hasn't even arrived yet but..) and made it a pay upgrade (DivaXL?) i wouldn't object at all.
that would be covered by me reselling monark anyway ;P
