u-he diva

[NoAffiliation]

diva was updated to save 40% cpu from the prior version. i like the sound of it, it reminds me of alot of the after market image line synths (which are dope)

just a side note from reading a bit of this, some of the osc's and filters on my buddies modular sounds like there's reverb even though it's completely dry. the hertz doughnut i think it is has a very liquid wet sound even when dry

Yes this exactly why i like the hardware... out of the box it just sounds this way... but for me its not 100% there. So I ordered an ensoniq dp/4 to help me out with keeping it all in the mix. Will perhaps get one of these lexicon verbs that steevio recommended too.

Whats good for saturation/distortion on bass synth and leads?

Saturation = tape

Distortion = guitar pedals, Sherman filterbank or just overdrive anything you can get and see what happens.

[Rein]

in my experience distortion boxes that work great for basses are usually not the best for leads and vice versa. i really like tubes for bass btw.

^^^^^^
yes tubes all the way for saturation and distortion

ultimate for me would be a tube desk....someday, someday

sorry earlier i said MX500, it should have read MPX500

(theres the MPX550 also)

i love my sherman filterbank, have used it on everything ive recorded in the last 12 years, but subtlety is not its game, expect much extremeness
