Berlin-based developer u-he (Urs Heckmann) has now released a public beta of their new synth Diva, and a special introductory price.
Diva’s oscillators, filters and envelopes (which can be mixed and matched) are designed to model components also found in some older monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers.
“But, ” says Urs, "what truly sets Diva apart is the sheer authenticity of the circuit emulations – at the cost of a relatively high CPU-hit, Diva is the first native software synth that applies methods from industrial circuit emulators (search for “PSpice”) in realtime. Especially the authentic behaviour of Diva’s zero-delay-feedback filters, when pushed to the limits, demonstrates the advantages of this groundbreaking approach."
u-he describes the available filters as "famous transistor ladder", "screaming Sallen-Key", "classic OTA ladder" and "OTA state-variable" (and similar for the oscillators).
