U-he makes great synth VSTs. Worth every penny and very versatile. I have many virtual synths (Arturia, Serum, Falcon) and this is one of the best. After getting this I was impressed enough to get Zebra. Now I'm looking at Repro.

When it comes to recreating the authentic, unrivaled sound of vintage analog synthesizers, the Diva Dinosaur Impersonating Virtual Analogue Synthesizer Software Plug-In stands out. This innovative and advanced software plug-in meticulously models the oscillators, filters, and envelopes found in some of the most revered monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers of the past.
The Diva Dinosaur software allows for a mix-and-match approach to modules, enabling the creation of unique hybrid sounds. What sets this professional-grade software apart is its commitment to delivering the genuine sound of analog synthesizers. This is achieved by applying methods from industrial circuit simulators, such as PSpice, in real-time, a first in native software synth technology.
Despite its sophisticated sound modeling, the Diva Dinosaur software is designed to be less taxing on your CPU, offering up to 40% less CPU-hit than its previous version. It also supports multithreading for modern CPUs, which means more polyphony and less overload, making it a perfect choice for music producers working on both Macintosh and PC/Windows operating systems.
The software boasts an expansive library of over 1,200 organically beautiful presets and offers a resizable editor window for user convenience. The essence of seven or eight vintage synths is captured in this software, all at a fraction of the cost of the original hardware.
Diva Dinosaur's zero-delay-feedback filters are where much of the magic happens. These filters closely model classic analog hardware filters, setting a high standard of authenticity. You can choose from a variety of filter types, including Ladder, Cascade, Multi-Mode, Bite, and more.
The software also offers two envelopes, one for the output amp and another for general purposes. Each is modeled after classic hardware synthesizers, capturing their unique characteristics. The effects section includes three analog choruses, two analog phasers, plate reverb, stereo analog delay, and rotary speaker emulations.
The Diva Dinosaur software also features a multi-core option, allowing it to distribute voices across multiple cores for simultaneous play without overloading the CPU. It also includes modulation processors and trimmers for further sound manipulation.
Finally, every synth needs an oscilloscope, and Diva Dinosaur delivers with a straightforward 'scope that only requires two knobs - frequency and scale. This stylish, sophisticated, and professional software plug-in is designed for electronic music production, offering a wide range of possibilities for creating techno, house, ambient, and other electronic music genres.
