| Synth | Pros | Cons | |-------|------|------| | Diva | Analog warmth, classic sound, filter accuracy | CPU heavy, no wavetables | | Serum | Visual, flexible, low CPU | Sterile sound without FX | | Pigments | Versatile (analog + wavetable + granular) | Less vintage character | | Repro-1/5 | Perfect Prophet models | Less oscillator variety |
Diva’s sound is its biggest selling point. It uses circuit-modeled oscillators, filters, and envelopes based on famous synths like:
You can mix and match components (“Zero Delay Feedback” filters). The result is warm, rich, and often indistinguishable from hardware.
Comes with tons of presets (Howard Scarr, etc.) covering bass, leads, pads, FX. Modulation: 2 ADSR envelopes, 2 LFOs (per-voice), plus a basic mod matrix. Not as deep as Falcon or Pigments, but more than enough for analog-style sounds.
Unlike many plugins that use an iLok dongle or a simple serial string, u-he uses a License File system paired with a username/email.
Diva (short for Dinosaur Impersonating Virtual Analog) is a highly regarded software synthesizer by u-he, known for its authentic analog sound, modular-like flexibility, and stunning filters and oscillators modeled after classic hardware.
