2 VCO modelled oscillators
1 wavetable oscillator
A drive knob on LP filter, like Muse kind of.
- 6 voices
- 3 LFO
- basically unlimited number of preset locations
- modulation through the ceiling

Modulation style is like Nordlead, you just tweak a knob to a new location from a certain source and that will be mapped between two values for the range of the knob.
- difference here is that Nordlead only did this from velocity
- here you got 20 sources or something
- that is incredibly smooth, and with motorized knobs a bliss

Price around $2900 here as I saw.

Not having separate knobs/faders for all three envelopes is compensated by having motorized knobs, so choosing either knobs are exactly where they are set.
- just wonder how they last in the longer run

Matt Johnson shows his take on it


Quite useful complement to my Prophet REV2, I think.

MJ mentioned oscillators are a bit hard sounding compared to real VCO but still very nice.

Not sure how diffferent it is from Nina which is a module, but as MJ said better pricing on Delia. If more motorized knobs on Nina possibly.

I played one at Knobcon. It seemed good for pads. To much like a vst in a box for me though.

Thanks.
There are some convincing low end showing the feedback knob though.

And a mouse click fest to make own sounds does not compare to a VST in computer IMO. Buying libraires, fine, but exploring by your own not so much.

Did you by any chance play the Nina with real VCO's?
- as a comparison

Maybe the extra voices and VCO's are worth the extra dope.

EDIT: Nina is being up there with Moog Muse so maybe more attractive and also better second hand value if to sell later. Nina is not even sold everywhere in stores.

Even listening to J3PO's review of TEO-5 is mesmerizing from the sound right away. And about $1700 or so.

Matt Johnson review Moog Muse the same thing.

Delia sounds more sterile and cold than both those, even with in-ear simple phones that I use on internet computer.

This.

And also I had already played a TEO-5 there and loved it. I didn't bother with NINA because my heart was set on TEO-5 by that point.

Thanks.
Yes, it's a great thing when you play a preset and just want to spend time there in that loveliness and try various chords and such.
- and often end up being a base for a new track

I had that with Prologue and REV2, a couple of hours just went by sitting down with it without realising.
- now just having REV2 left and finding new "rooms" to visit all the time
