U-He Diva Dark Ambient Cinematic Presets. No Talk Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"🌌 Bleak Matter is a collection of 60 presets for the U-He Diva virtual synthesizer.
It features 7 drones, 18 pads, 17 strings, and 18 textures.
The soundset is built around the idea of imperfection—gritty, lo-fi textures shaped by evolving modulation, resulting in timbres that are expressive, alive, and full of character. These sounds bring a strong atmospheric identity to any track, performance, or visual project.

📦 Get these sounds: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/diva...

📻 A major focus of this collection was to explore Diva’s ability to emulate vintage tone. To achieve this, extensive use was made of the Trimmers section in each preset, introducing subtle randomness and instability. Combined with modulation techniques that evoke analog circuitry and retro coloration, the result is a soundset with warmth, depth, and an organic, nostalgic feel.

🎛 Each preset is performance-ready, with velocity sensitivity and ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control. The ModWheel introduces additional modulations — such as brightness, tonal shifts, or dynamic movement — offering creative flexibility for both studio production and live performance.

🎆 The bank covers a wide range of timbral colors: dark, noisy, lo-fi, retro, romantic, melancholic, nostalgic, soundscapes, atmospheric, detuned, cold, distant, dull, massive, epic, bright, orchestral, distorted, metallic, tense, atonal, non-harmonic, FX-like, evolving, and sweeping.
Whether you're producing ambient, techno, cinematic, IDM, industrial, drum and bass, retrowave, or any genre that embraces dark atmospheres and emotional textures, this soundset provides sonic depth and a distinct aesthetics.

Technical Info – How to Import Presets
Open the Diva plugin.
Go to the Presets tab.
On the left panel, find the User folder.
Drag and drop the folder Anton Anru – Bleak Matter from your computer into the User folder inside Diva.
Restart the plugin or refresh the presets list if needed.
The presets should now appear under User in the Diva browser.

Make sure you are using the latest vst-plugin version."

"Apart from the obvious membrane buttons, the front panel features possibly the coolest feeling weighted encoder dial ever, not to mention the wild 80s colour palette. The aluminium has also developed a very super cool patina."

Note the holes to the left of the front panel. Curious if they give access to calibration pots.

Mandala mk2 tutorial 12: linking tracks

video upload by likaoninstruments

"This is a very useful feature when we have a CV (pitch) track, and want to generate corresponding envelopes from another track.

In the envelope track options, go to 'Link to', select the reference track and boom! The steps from the reference track are copied any kept in sync.

As a bonus, you can lock some steps on the slave track, and they will stay untouched if the reference track changes :)"

via Likaon Instruments

"The Mandala mk2 is a HIGHLY boosted revision of the original Mandala.

Oh wait, we can’t call it a revision actually. It is a completely new product that takes its roots from the original Mandala, and adds many features, including melodic capabilities and advanced generative capabilities on 8 tracks.

TRIGGER SEQUENCING

From 1 to 128 steps per track, plus 4 substeps per step
Direct mute switch on each track

CV SEQUENCING

AD Envelope generator (linear, exponential), invertable
Arbitrary CV (-5 to +5V) per step
CV glide (linear or exponential, for custom LFOs!)
Quantization (internal or external, S&H or continuous)
Transposition (for chords!)

GENERAL TOOLS
4 quick save slots for live playing
8 CV inputs for modulation (customizable binding)
Possibility to toggle gates instead of sending triggers
Trigger probability on track and step level
Trigger shuffle, CV shuffle (with adjustable chance) for generative beats and melodies
Copy from one track to another in one click
