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.

Sorrowful Synths

contains 50 vintage synth patches for U-He Diva synth. The main ingredient of those presets is the sad emotion they exhale with retro sonic vibes.

For some patches there is a subtle glide to add some emotional movement in the starting point of the sound. In some of them like the 3 first ones, you could easily listen to some characteristics of the era their name refers. I used every oscillator engine available in DIVA for adding a variety of sonic elements and colors in the whole soundbank. A nice experimentation can be to changing the Oscillator engines for some nice and unexpected variations.

All presets are classic polysynths in terms of performance – they could easily handle the speed you play them, from slow to quick. Others sound darker, others have a more calming nature and other have a nice tail deriving from the delay device.

Mainly those sounds could fit for cinematic, game audio, rock and vintage electronic styles but I think that they could find their place in other genres also, when the addition of some vintage originate sound with a sorrowful feeling is something you look for.

For all patches the MW is assigned to add vibrato
