U-He Diva (Windows)

Diva A virtual analog synthesizer that parodies a dinosaur. Diva captures the spirit of five decades of analog synthesizers. The oscillators, filters, and envelopes of some of the greatest monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers of yesteryear have been meticulously modeled to produce an unrivaled analog sound.

Diva is more than just one synthesizer: Recreate an old favorite synthesizer or combine modules to create your own unique hybrid. The oscillators, filters, and envelopes are faithfully recreated from some of the great monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers of yesteryear. The modules can be mixed and matched to create hybrids, but DIVA’s hallmark is its absolute authenticity as an analogue sound.

This comes at the cost of a fairly high CPU load, but we think it’s worth it. Diva is the first native software synth to apply techniques from industrial circuit simulators (like PSpice) in real time. The zero-latency, feedback-based filter behavior under extreme loads clearly demonstrates the benefits of this innovative approach.
