Urs has a new baby called DIVA (Dinosaur Impersonating Virtual Analogue) :D

Really reminds me of mini monster by gforce with a few added effects.

Out of curiosity what do you like about it so much?

This synth brings a i7 to its knees and really there is nothing special about its sound.

It may be a bit of a CPU hog compared to other synths, but it's not bringing my Q6600 to its knees. I had 3 instances of it running last night and my computer never choked once. As for the sound, well that's personal preference, but if you can't hear the difference in the pure oscillators and filters in Urs' synths compared to most VAs, then you probably won't appreciate Diva.

Play with the Sustain and Release.

Well, since there are no presets, I obviously played with sustain and release...and attack and decay on all of the envelopes and modulated every parameter I could get my hands on, used the effects (including the excellent rotary speaker effect!), etc.

Maybe you found a specific bug? If so, you should report it on the U-he's KVR subforum to see if others can replicate it.

Made this after checking it out. http://soundcloud.com/timestretcher...he-all-internal Soundcloud kinda makes it sound like ass, but I set options to download the wav. file. I really like the sound of the filters. Seems like its gonna be full of win, besides the cpu hit.

What you hear there only took between 15-22% cpu, but, I noticed, if I hold down anymore than 6 notes, it takes a major dump, cpu past 100% and if you crank up the release it takes a too. I'm sure it will be alot better as they move on with finishing it. I'm looking forward to it, and thanks for the info to the synth. :D

hmmm, not sure how to answer that - i dont know that much about synth programming but just turning a few of the basics on this and it just sounds like no other softie ive heard - cant wait to see what the top sound designers will come up with!

Yeah its heavy on CPU but thats the price your gonna have to pay for top quality softsynths IMO - and the CPU usage will only get heavier in future...

just knocked this up, the built in chorus on it sounds amazing, messed with the detune around 2mins so it goes a bit wonky there

I will be buying this for sure.

=\ doesnt sound very special at all.

most of the vst synths i hear, reason's thor is more powerful than. different characteristics ofcourse, but just saying.

reflecting upon, im glad i dont have an insane amount of vsts to bloat my computer, im only running 2 cores.
