Synthétiseur analogique virtuel
Les oscillateurs, filtres et enveloppes ont été modélisés d'après les composants de quelques-uns des plus grands synthétiseurs monophoniques et polyphoniques. La modélisation analogique de DIVA requiert une consommation élevée du CPU, car Diva est le premier synthétiseur logiciel à appliquer les méthodes des simulateurs de circuits industriels (PSpice). Le comportement des filtres à feedback sans délai quand on les pousse à la limite démontre clairement l'avantage de cette approche novatrice.

8 mai 2012 |
Performance:
- Multi-threaded operation allows use of multi-core capabilities
- In many cases, Diva's filters are now a lot faster
Sound:
- White-noise DC-offset removed
- Panning inverted to make it correct
- Triggered notes sound more coherent
- Sonic improvements (more harmonics, less noise in VCF and synced oscillators)
- New feature "Transient Mode" can reset DC-blockers and filter states on attack
Usability:
- Completely new MIDI-learn mode
- Presets can be revealed in Finder (OSX) or opened in Explorer (Windows)
- drag & drop presets in Cocoa view (Mac)
- Better file error messages for windows
- log written if a file named Diva.log exists on the desktop
Bugfix:
- deadlocks that some experienced under Windows are gone
- no more unwanted legato mode after preset selection
- no more crashes after invalid file access
- All Notes Off releases current notes instead of killing them
- MIDI preset change no longer forgets modulator section
- Init preset is correct in the presence of MIDI Banks
- no more crashes after long silence

Main changes and additions:
1. Multicore Support
Finally play as many voices as you like on selected systems! This needs multicore system with on-cpu-memory-interface like i5, i7, Nehalem.
2. up to 40% less CPU usage on expensive presets
We have improved the feedback prediction algorithim in the filters so dramatically that highly resonant patches will now use up to 40% less cpu than older versions. Can't get that sound any faster Wink
3. Improved sound quality
You'll notice that Diva now sounds like a freshly refurbished analogue synthesizer. We've polished the attack transients and we've added a bit more shine to the VCO models. Even though these changes are subtle we recommend to render your current projects done with Diva before installing this beta.
Background: Actually, what happened is this... to improve the crossmodulation behaviour of the very early betas, we switched away from the widely used miniBLEPs, towards a version with more accurate phase response. A few people then noticed that Diva's release version sounded a tad duller than the beta. We fixed that now, so she got all the glamour of the beta back alongside the goodness that we added later Smile
4. Revised User Guide
More info, more detail, more tutorials, more fun to read! (included in downloads)

We\'ve fixed a few niggles - including those pops and spikes when switching filters/presets. And we\'ve added a full user manual. Simply download from below and install again - Diva\'s revision number should show 517 in the bottom right corner.
