Tom Wolfe and The Unfinished make incredible presets for U-He synths.

If there's anything I've learned about soft synths, it's in the filters.

Love diva, you can't really go wrong with any u-he synths

[BirdYoumans]

At 79 I was about 20 when the first Moog hit the streets so I have seen the evolution of the synth and electronic music first hand. But in the sea of free plugin synths out there, I made the mistake of downloading the Diva demo and within 24 hours I had paid for it! Just blew me away. I later found Hive 2 and the Repro package on sale at NI half price and got them and recently added Zebra Legacy to the arsenal. All U-he synths, but they quite simply have something in their sound that I don't find anywhere else. Synth heaven? Pretty close to it!! If you can't afford them, Tyrell and Zebrallette are free U-he synths and are very good as free synths go. That's how I found U-he in the first place.

My quest to get the ultimate classic trance machine has led me to ponder between Diva, Dune 3 and Spire. Even tho Diva is the oldest and apparently hoards a lot of juice from computer, I feel if I don't buy Diva I will regret it.

I've always heard good things about Diva, but went with the Zebra Legacy recently partly for the potential of adding Hans Zimmer synth tones to my low brass recordings. May add Diva eventually, though.

It has hands down the best plate reverb on any plugin or hardware I've ever heard. I've begged U-he to make it into a standalone plugin, I hope they do. If anyone doubts this, load the patch HS Chango Clique. It has the most insanely realistic short room dialled in which is super warm, super wide and the transients are perfect. Now disable the plate and replace it with literally any other reverb you own - I promise you, you won't even get close to the same sound. Hell, even download demos of reverbs you don't own and try them - believe me I've been through countless trying to find something similar but nope.

This experiment will ruin reverb for you as you'll suddenly realise that no other plugins or hardware (aside from actual real plates, chambers or springs) can not handle transients at all. They are grainy and artefacty. The only thing that is able to remotely handle transients is the new update for Baby Audio Crystalline (which specifically addressed transients) but even then the warmth, the depth and the richness just isn't there. Come on U-he, you know you want to! And Alex - I'd be super interested to see you attempt this experiment yourself. I feel a "quest for the holy grail" of reverbs could be quite interesting using that preset as a benchmark :)

Diva and Hive2 from Uhe are for me among the best vst

[buckycore]

Yeah, it's just huge sounding. It makes me feel embarrassed that I invested in the KORG and Arturia stuff in a way, because I could do 80% of what ever I wanted from those from this one plugin. However, it doesn't have additive nor spectral synths along side sampling (if I'm not mistaken)..plus KORG and it's wavestate stuff. So I will get this down the road for sure

[gsdsynth]

I love Diva but its defect is its complexity

[Lumaa_Lex]

You can change modules in diva?!?!?! My mind blown away and i feel stupid till end of day....

[AUTOSAD]

Found you on Alckemy's channel! Glad to find your stuff! It's great!

[eddiexx]

Hi Alex, i bought Diva as a "beginner" because i knew it was an excellent synth, but, there is so many controls i simply dont know where to begin. would love to hear where to begin with it. I mean, what to "forget" about and focus on as a first stage. and then what to go to next after that. Maybe an idea for a video? Cheers

[Anksu_art]

The question is, can you set the phase of the sound reset with every midi note coming?

[andreasoberg]

Great review. I have bern disapointed with most VST vs real analog. Maybe this is my solution

[Banoffeeee]

Diva vs current...which one do you think I should get?

[yuriiklopovsky]

I wonder if you would consider reviewing ZynAddSubFx?
