And don't forget about the "Variance" controls that allow you to add some "slop" to the filter cutoff and ever so slightly change envelope, pulse width and glide settings with a push-button that will randomize settings for each of the polyphonic voices. I find myself pressing those little buttons a lot lately.
I loved this sound so much I bought a model D, its such a little beast. Software wise though I think the diva is the closest sounding to the hardware really impressive.
You can do this with serum too. Put an lfo on the fine pitch with low amaunt, and let the lfo run free, and then you get different fine pitch for each note.
Yeah i do this, usually 1Hz LFO moving the fine pitch around 10-20 from centre. It's a little different to how diva does it though, also the filters in serum can't do what diva does.
I learned a lot with this video, Pretty much questions I hadn't resolved about this until now. Thank you!!! 👍. I have U-he Zebra2 ... should I spend on this also? (Zebra2 being the main synth from u-he)
couldn't you just automate / use lfos in serum to emulate this? is it really necessary to buy a 179 dollar synth for "analog emulation" when you could basically emulate all of this on your own in a synth everyone already has? just curious. Not trying to be contrarian or whatever, but i just feel like if you were to go for an analog sound you could easily make a patch in serum that does all of this or just buy a *cheap analog synth *there are no cheap analog synths but you get my point.
BLUEMEL serum is like 200$ lol but i understand your point. i think its more for people who are used to diva. serum is very digital and wavetable based, but it is difficult to get classical sounding synth tones with just serum.
You can and you cant. You can by sort of copying what a analog synth does with pitch and some detune but it is not as natural and warm as a analog emulator or just analog however is it worth 170 plus dollars just to get a warmer sounding synth? Thats the real question. For me the answer is yes considering the genre I work in is deep house and the warm(ness) of diva would suite the style. The artist Ben Bohmer is a great example of how different Diva sounds from serum.
'More Better' is grammatically incorrect, you should say 'even better', also you can't be 'more analog' (it is either analog or it is digital), it would be better to say 'more analog SOUNDING'
