It's such a dedicated analog modeled synth, where defined oscillators actually feel, slur, and have the true analog vibe. To Leo, I'd simply use Diva, and render where possible. The 1.1 version is about 40% better on CPU than the 1.0 version. Yeah, I was going to send Leo the SOS review today, as well. I might be wrong about that.Īnyway, good luck and have fun.
U HE DIVA 2 INSTALL
I thought U-he had a demo - I believe you can install it and it will make a distorted noise every once in a while until you actually pay for it and put in a serial number. They are both currently in my top 5 softsynths, and should be on any serious softsynth user's short list to seriously consider. For me, Diva has become my go-to VA synth, and I use it more than Serum. They both are class-leading and sound great in their respective areas of expertise, and honestly compliment each other like I mentioned previously. Everything is personal preference of course. Re: sound quality - the sound quality of one is not "better" than the other. When Diva came out, it gained a reputation that it used a lot of CPU (rightfully so), but any current computer should be able to handle it just fine, and again, you have different accuracy modes, etc. You can set it to draft, fast, great, and divine accuracy modes with a corresponding increase in CPU usage. The CPU load is relative to the patches and what mode (aka "accuracy") the plugin is in. They're both fantastic plugins, totally co-exist just fine, and they compliment each other beautifully.
