Diva: Beat the Monopoly at it's own game :)

[Sendy]

It was Marc Doty's synthesizer reviews on youtube that introduced me to the Monopoly and what struck me as the most unique feature of it was the ability to cycle incoming notes between each of it's four oscillators. This allowed the notes you play to sound on different waveforms, pulsewidths, etc.

Diva can do this with up to eight voices using the Voice Map Modulator controls on the Trimmers page. Set up those 8 knobs to different positions, use the triple oscillator bank with Osc 1 set to down saw (middle) and the other oscillators off. On the Main page set Polyphony to 8 and Mode to poly, enable Shape Mod for Osc 1 and select VoiceMap, turn the amount knob fully clockwise et viola! Once you've got this set up you can 'tune' each of the waveforms by holding down notes and finding it's knob. Now add envelopes and effects to taste for a really lively sound that avoids obvious filtering for it's tonal variation!

Really obvious if you know what the Voice Map knobs are for, but the Trimmers page is the last area of the synth I really learned properly.

Yo Sendy,

thanx for that cool recipe. I will try that.
