Members OverDriven Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Any analog synth lovers should do themselves a favor and buy a little plugin called Diva. Also, have a beefy computer to run it on. It makes hardware synths obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could spend two months really, learning how to build all the voices it can do. A lot of those Korg voices showed up in movie and TV soundtracks with only minor tweaking.

I have a few of the Moog softsynth packages...they are cool, but no substitute for actual knobs and and buttons you can manipulate on the fly. I also have a Yamaha SY-99 & SY-77 and a Kurzweil PC88mx controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nakedzen Posted January 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 ^I hope it won't get that out of hand with me. Just got this (well I don't actually have it yet, I'll need to go pick it up from the local store) I think can get some mean and dark sounding stuff done with that.

Members Phrophus Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 I love 'em, but I've never bought one. A buddy of mine has a Nord of some sort that was always a blast. His Roland Fantom was fun as hell too. I did have an Arp Odyssey in my possession for a couple of months, but it needed some fixin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing is, I have a friend here in town who's current collection eclipses everything I've ever owned. EDIT: A lulzy pic of me with the Mainstage rig, when we opened for Rickets, years ago...

I don't use it live (which may be what you're getting at), but that's not a problem. The knobs are easily mapped to knobs on a MIDI controller and you can use it live if you want. A modern laptop with a portable interface should work fine. Originally Posted by Andersonology I bet it won't make this badboy obsolete.

Hardware synths are awesome, but Diva is the first software I've heard that makes me feel like sound wise there isn't an advantage of hardware over software. It's really impressive. If you want to manipulate the parameters live, just map the virtual knobs to MIDI knobs and you're good to go. I use it for recording though.Still, I understand that like amps, hardware synths have a cool factor that can't be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
