Diva tutorial 03 - Brass Bounce

YouTube Published on Jul 28, 2012 by uheplugins

"The third in a series of bite-sized tutorials aimed at users of u-he's latest synthesizer, Diva. The sounds made in this video certainly won't be to everyone's taste - they're all typical old synthbrass! However, the point is to show several different methods of getting similar results, even with a limited set of modules.

So let's bounce...

Method 1 starts with the usual synthbrass settings, but we soon run into the problem of not having enough envelopes for VCA, VCF cutoff, and pitch modulation at the beginning of each not. So LFO2 is used for cutoff, freeing up envelope 2 for pitch modulation.

Method 2 reverts to the usual envelope 2 for cutoff. The LFO takes over for pitch modulation, but in a special way: LFO2's delay parameter ramps down to the bottom of a square wave (set to minimum rate so it won't cycle). Note that the pitch modulation is also negative -- a minus times a minus is a plus.

Method 3 is probably the most interesting one because it uses neither envelope 2 nor LFO 2 for the pitch. Instead, the Gate signal (i.e. note on/off from your keyboard) is lagged, resulting in a smooth attack. And (fortunately or unfortunately) an equally smooth release... but there's a little surprise at the end.

Take home message: Just like classic analogue polysynths, Diva expects you to make the most of a limited set of synth modules!"

David C Lovelace & His Better Half Wanders Into The Moog Sound Lab

via David Lovelace on Facebook:

"We actually wandered into this room off the street accidentally. The door was supposed to be locked (there's video surveillance, so don't try it, Asheville interlopers!), but my connection with this company charged the building itself to become self-aware and allow my entry into its secret, twinkling synthmeats."

Dave of course is the author of The Packrat (August 2012 strip below), and he created the MATRIXSYNTH Packrat on the right of this site way back in 2006. Thank you Dave! Be sure to check out his site http://www.umop.com/ for tons more including music, tron keytar, and his lovely mother-in-law.
He also did the unforgettable artwork for a number of Metasonix products.




Update via Dave in the comments:

"Aw, thanks! Lee-Ann and I had a great time there with Jason Daniello, Moog's AR Manager. She showed us around the factory (more pics of that coming today) and basically let me be a 12-year-old in a music store, making a lot of noise and wondering how much of this stuff I'll get to own when I grow up. While I was there I drew a Packrat comic for them on a big 18x30 pad, mounted on an easel, with Sharpies. They took a video of the process which should end up on their YouTube channel or maybe just their website, not sure... anyway here's the best shot I was able to get of that drawing... as is apparent I got pretty hammered on mai tais at Trader Vics in Atlanta the night before..."
