Ever since the release of Propellerheads' Rebirth-338 in 1996, soft synths designed around analogue architecture have endured and proliferated. It's not hard to see why. The immediacy of subtractive synthesis controls (especially when operated with a MIDI controller or DAW automation), coupled with their low cost in comparison to vintage or contemporary hardware, has proven irresistible to countless producers.Soft synths employing virtual oscillators, filters, envelopes and LFOs vary enormously in price, quality and complexity; from the proprietary synths bundled with most DAWs, to freeware models, to "premium" launches from Arturia and Native Instruments amongst many others. One of the latest instruments to be released into this last category is Diva, from German company u-he (the corporate identity of its founder, Urs Heckling), who have a strong track record of great-sounding products, notably their Zebra synth and Filterscape dynamic filterbank.The major point of contention with software subtractive synths—especially those intended as "authentic" emulations of expensive vintage hardware—has been the long-running debate over whether a piece of digital software can ever fully recreate the sonic nuances of a well-maintained analogue synthesizer. The success of contemporary hardware by the likes of Dave Smith and Moog prove that there is still a solid user base eager for the real thing. With Diva, u-he are attempting to deliver a product which sounds as good as a virtual analogue synth possibly can.Diva is in fact an acronym: the synth's full name is "Dinosaur-Impersonating Virtual Analogue," which indicates the designers' aim to "capture the spirit of various classic analogue synthesizers"—the Dinosaurs of the title. This synth has been the subject of great anticipation in the weeks leading up to its eventual release, with a (discounted) public beta being made available in mid-November last year, and the final version following a month later. Diva is installed in VST

Be used for click-free adjustment of parameters.A defining feature of Diva is that it is a semi-modular synth: the oscillator, filter and envelope units can be swapped out, so that "different" synths can be created by using different combinations of components. This functionality has been implemented elegantly and cleanly in a way that is far more intuitive than some other modular designs, which make a point of adhering to their hardware counterparts (for example, Arturia's Moog Modular V). With Diva, clicking the triangular tab at the bottom of each unit reveals a dropdown menu from which alternative components can be selected. In addition, the synth offers extremely flexible modulation routing, from the "front panel" as well as from the Modifications tab. There are four variants available in the Oscillator, Hi-Pass and Main Filter "slots," and three Envelope units. The most luxurious of the oscillator units is the Triple-VCO, but each variant has its own strengths. The Dual-VCO, for instance, has features not found in the Triple, such as the ability of each oscillator to produce up to four wave types simultaneously. The same is true of the various filters and envelopes: each has different values and characteristics, and there is no sense that one is a "poor relative" of another.The presets are a great starting point for exploring the synth; they offer huge variety and are organised into logical banks. While auditioning sounds, users can easily assign them "favourite" or "junk" status; it is also a simple matter to create and organise custom folders of sounds. There is a "MIDI Programs" folder, intended to allow users to switch sounds using Program Change messages—and presumably reduce the number of instances of the synth in a project—however during my testing I was unable to get this working satisfactorily.Diva sounds and handles like

Please note from December 22 until January 5 the u-he offices will be closed. A limited amount of support will be offered via the forum, but it will be slower than normal. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at u-he! Repro-1 1.0 December 2, 2016 We are happy to announce the release of Repro-1. Repro-1 is a reverent model of a vintage monosynth, recreated with all the raw personality and quirks of the original, but with a charm all of its own. Like the original, Repro-1 is a fierce synth: hard working, raw sounding and immensely playable. Repro-1 follows in the footsteps of Diva—striving for authentic analogue sound—but attains new levels of accuracy with component-level modelling. The classic design belies Repro-1’s fierce capabilities: thumping basses, ghostly screams, wild sequences… and maybe an ’80s cover song or two. More details and demo songs are available on the Repro-1 product page. * plus applicable taxes. Repro-1 beta update November 24, 2016 A new beta version is out.
