![]() Diva uses PSpice to model old analog circuitry down to a component level. One of the coolest parts about the U HE Diva is the technology it uses. U HE Diva offers 5 oscillator models based on classic hardware synths, 5 filter models with a range of filter types, 2 host-sync LFOs with multiple waveforms to control & 2 stereo effects slots including: This is what Diva let’s you do – you can mix and match between classic hardware synths to create a ground-breaking hybrid mix. So, imagine taking the knobs & sounds from the Mini Moog & the filters from Korg MS-20. It’s basically a semi-modular hardware synth that sits inside your DAW.Īnd the best part? Like we mentioned above, Diva has a somewhat modular capability. U HE Diva has been designed to capture a whopping 5 decades of analog hardware technology, and bring that to you in digital format, for a fraction of the price you’d spend on hardware units. ![]() (If you want a bit more of an in-depth overview check our uhe Diva review) U HE Diva just had to make top of this list because, it is hands down the best sounding virtual analogue synth available, and is our go-to choice every time we need a unique, interesting sound.įrom clean leads, to warm fuzzy basses, and thick, beautiful chord beds – Diva has everything you’d ever need. Whatever synth you have, you can create incredible music with it, you just need to learn it inside and out. These will generally cost you more money than those that are more drawn back and CPU efficient. Some synths have more features than others, and better presets, but eat up more CPU. These include synths like Serum, Phase Plant, Rapid Synth, Omnisphere etc. The most common, and easy to use synth, is the digital wavetable synth. Some will model old analog hardware, and others will use frequency modulation.Įach synth type has its own benefits and drawbacks. Some will use wavetables, or sound libraries, & samples alongside digital wavetables. Power synth (wavetables with sound libraries & FM capability + suite of FX)ĭifferent synth VST plugins will have different approaches to how they help you design sounds.There are a number of different kinds of synth VST plugin you can get, and we’ll list them below: Synth VST plugins allow you to use presets to play in melodies, design sounds from scratch, and add effects to them. However, it eats CPU a lot and is extremely expensive.Ī synth VST plugin is a digital synthesiser that you can use inside a digital audio workstation, on a MIDI channel. It’s incredible for finding unique sounds that not many producers have access to and is THE BEST for cinematic sounds. On top of all that, there is also support for 65 external hardware synths – meaning you can use Omnsiphere directly off your hardware! And, if you think it couldn’t get any better, Omnisphere supports granular synthesis (offering its own module), alongside including FM & ring modulation, wavetable shaping and so much more that we can’t fit in this short description. Included are, over 14000 built-in sounds, 70GB+ of unique samples, 500 DSP waveforms (that emulate classic hardware), and over 58 professional FX that model old compressors, distortion units, and more. ![]() With 4 oscillators and the ability to open 8 different instances of each, alongside the channel mixing functionality – Omnisphere is practically a DAW inside a synth. There are two additional paid offers, both with more presets and more wavetables, and a subscription package for $5 a month.Omnisphere is a power-synth that has endless sound design possibilities. In this basic version, you also get 75 presets and 25 wavetables, which makes Vital our best free VST of the Serum alternatives. That’s right, you get all the features we mentioned, Vital’s more modern GUI, for the price of nothing. The best thing about Vital is that you can get it for free. ![]() There are also unique features like stereo modulation where an LFO modulating a source is essentially doubled and slightly delayed in the stereo field, making it a Pad machine deluxe. The VST has three instead of two oscillators, two instead of one filter, up to six envelopes, and up to eight LFOs – it’s a modulation monster. ![]() It does Wavetable synthesis, it offers similar ways to modulate and scan through individual wavetables, its LFOs and envelopes work in a very similar manner. The plugin was released three years ago and offers a lot of the same features. Few other plug-ins mimic Serum as close and as successfully as Vital does. ![]()
