What Diva does
The synth is built around zero-delay-feedback filters, which the developer describes as the core of its sound. Its modules can be mixed and matched, so hybrid patches are built by replacing parts of the upper rack, and any oscillator can be sent to the filters in a chosen order. The effects section holds three analogue chorus units, two analogue phasers and a plate reverb, and two effects can be arranged in series, including two plate reverbs one after another.
Key features
- Modular rack and mix and match. All modules in the upper rack can be replaced, and any oscillator can be sent to any filter, so hybrid synthesizers are built from the same parts.
- Envelopes and amp. Two envelopes are provided, one normally used for the output amplifier and one for general purposes, with the amp and filter envelopes of the same synthesizer often differing in character.
- Effects chain. Three analogue chorus units, two analogue phasers and a plate reverb can be used, and two effects can run in series.
- Modifiers. Rectify, quantize, multiply, invert and lag processors add modulation sources, and several of these options are not available on the main panels.
- Trimmers. Voice-specific offsets apply to detuning, cutoff and envelope times, so each voice of a polyphonic patch can differ from the others.
- Presets and polyphony. More than 1200 presets are included, and multithreading on modern CPUs allows more polyphony. The developer lists up to 40% lower CPU load than version 1.0 and a resizable editor window.

The minimum system is macOS 10.9 or Windows 7, it needs 1 GB of RAM, and native support for Apple Silicon is listed. A trial version is available.
