u-He Diva: Unrivaled Analog Synth Modeling
Create evocative synthesizer sounds with undeniable analog character, all with the u-he Diva plug-in. Choose from five different oscillator modules to conjure everything from big fat analog synth sounds to precise digital waveforms. The five different filter models are where Diva really shines, with advanced analog modeling algorithms resulting in amazingly rich and vibrant filtering effects, with no filter-stepping or aliasing. With scores of great presets and a ton of tweakability, the u-he Diva virtual synthesizer promises unlimited sound-design potential for composers and electronic
Advanced modeling for undeniably analog tone
Under the hood, u-he’s Diva synth plug-in employs advanced modeling based on industrial circuit simulators to re-create the character of beloved analog synths and filters. At its highest sound quality settings, the Diva plug-in is CPU-intensive, and you’ll hear the difference. Take the filters, for instance: synth fans at Sweetwater know that it’s rare to hear a digital filter that can rival an all-analog filter. But u-he’s zero-delay feedback filters rival the sound of some of the most revered analog filter designs. Just automate a long, slow filter sweep in your DAW, and you’ll hear the richness and depth that you would normally only expect from an analog filter, free of any stair-stepping artifacts or aliasing.
Mix and match oscillator and filter modules
With five different oscillator modules and five different filter modules (plus an additional HPF/Feedback section with four module choices), there are a lot of possible sonic combinations to explore with Diva. You can re-create classic synth designs or dial in your own ideal synth.
Trimmers section lets you dial in the perfect amount of analog instability
When you really want the maximum amount of analog character in your sound, turn to the Trimmers section in u-he’s Diva synth plug-in. This section not only lets you detune voices, but it also allows you to add some “slop” to filter cutoff, envelope times, pulse widths, and glide times. Many analog-modeled synthesizers give you control over a certain amount of analog drift, but with nowhere near the variety of Diva’s Trimmers section.
u-he Diva Synthesizer Plug-in Features:
- Virtual analog synthesizer plug-in
- 5 selectable oscillator modules: Triple VCO, Dual VCO, DCO, Dual VCO Eco, and Digital
- 5 selectable filter modules: VCF Ladder, VCF Cascade, VCF Multimode, VCF Bite, and VCF Uhbie
- 2 effects slots for Chorus, Phaser, Reverb, Delay, and Rotary effects
- Extensive modulation matrix allows for extremely detailed, animated sounds
- Modular flexibility is perfect for creating a wide range of synth sounds
- Ideal for electronic musicians and composers
Repro-1, u-he’s blast-from-the-past analog monosynth plug-in, uses component-level modeling to deliver the mythical sonic essence of a rare, sought-after classic 1970s analog synth prototype. The tech used to create Repro-1 may be cutting-edge, but this soft synth’s sonic credentials are unabashedly vintage. Whether you’re crafting searing leads, behemoth basses, pulsing percussion, or spacey soundscapes, this 2-oscillator beast delivers fierce, raw, authentic sounds, dripping with juicy analog character. Patch from scratch or grab one of 500 killer presets. Take it from Sweetwater’s hardcore synthesists: u-he Repro-1 is a highly playable workhorse synth you’ll find yourself reaching for track after track.
Packed with vintage goodness
u-he packed Repro-1 with all the goodness of the original synth that inspired it. It’s sleek and intuitive, but under the hood there’s a deep feature set that can deliver a broad palette of vintage analog synth sounds. You start off with two oscillators with sync: a saw/pulse and a saw/triangle/pulse; both with pulse-width modulation. The mixer includes a white-noise generator, plus a feedback path for bass that’ll blow holes in walls. And you’ll love the filter section: a classic 4-pole lowpass with self-oscillation, plus cutoff, resonance, envelope amount, and key tracking controls. And of course, there’s a full ADSR filter envelope.
Modulation a go-go
Repro-1 serves up plentiful modulation options, with a saw/triangle/pulse LFO, plus a separate Mod section with Mod Filter envelope, Mod Oscillator B, And Mod LFO. There’s an advanced arpeggiator and step sequencer that sync to clock or the main LFO. A very complete Glide section and Amp Envelope with curve trim complete the top panel proper. Below, you’ll find the FX section that sports five stompbox-style modules: wavefolder/distortion, delay/chorus, EQ/resonator, reverb, and a sonic conditioner/dynamics processor. Talk about value — this thing comes loaded! If virtual analog synthesis plays a part in your music, you owe it to yourself to check out the u-he Repro-1.

Exciting saturated textures
u-he’s Colour Delay delivers a full range of classic bucket brigade-style delays. With a twist of a knob, you can continuously blend between five different colours. Each colour exhibits a different frequency bandwidth, in addition to noise and dynamic characteristics, frequency loss during repeats, and more. Control the intensity of these characteristics with the Saturation knob, then use the Brightness knob to dial in your bandwidth. You also get a Floor switch with Vintage/Low options.
Dynamic ducking effect
At Sweetwater, we appreciate Colour Delay’s unique dynamic ducking effect. An Amp/FB switch allows you to duck the entire delay output or just the feedback signal, which preserves your stereo space while eliminating high-regeneration cacophony. You also get a ducking mode switch for tweaking the effect’s response, along with a Threshold knob for setting the minimum input signal level.
Generate compelling modulated sounds
Use Colour Delay’s stereo LFO to modulate its delay rate, tap position, or amplitude. Choose between sine or triangle wave modulation. Generate interesting chorus, vibrato, and tremolo effects, using the Frequency knob to control the LFO’s speed, or crank the Depth knob for deep pitch-shifting. You can use an envelope follow signal to modulate the LFO frequency and depth to add real-time dynamics to your effects. Beyond that, a Stereo Phase knob gives you command over the phase difference between the left and right LFO signal.
