Legend for U-He Diva synth contains 80 vintage analog presets inspired by old progressive rock and retro electronic music styles as well as some new age stuff. Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, Vangelis, Rush and The Who are some of the huge influences for the creation of this soundbank.
 
Here there are 5 different categories of sounds which makes it pretty much a generic preset pack for those genres. Long journeys category contains 10 pad synths and poly synth category contains 27 classic poly synths. There is the Rhythm – Arps section with 15 presets and 15 percussive almost synths in the Short Poly folder.
 
Finally, there is a new category named Bass Frequency Dominance. This is a style of polysynths that mainly dominate in the lower frequencies thus their sound is aggressive and dark. It contains 13 synth presets. There are going to be released many sounds – presets of this category for other synths also.
 
Here you could find both harmonic and inharmonic patches. While harmonic sounds are better for conventional synth performances the inharmonic ones are here to add some atmospheric dimension to your productions. My usual way of using those inharmonic sounds is to throw them to background and when needed enforce them to add interesting timbres and atmospheres in transitions parts as well as some main parts of my tracks. A nice example of “sweet” sounding inharmonic patch is the “Just Like That” pad or “Come In” polysynth. As the inharmonic element here is subtle it could easily be used for more classic performance. The ugly harmonics in this soundbank usually derive from sync of OSCillators with simultaneous pitch modulation, from ring modulation or from heavy modulation of the filter’s resonance.
 
Presets were designed with Diva 1.4.4 (Rev.9709) and run best with this or newer edition
