When you hear Diva by U-he the first thing that comes to mind is most likely melodic techno or melodic house. While diva I widely used in these genres for its top notch analog emulation it is not entirely useless when it comes to trance music or other genres too. Especially when you are looking for those classic pad, lead or bass sounds you hear in tracks by Gouryella, 4 Strings, Ferry Corsten, Rank 1, Armin van Buuren and many other artists.
What actually is U-he Diva for? How can you use this Dinosaur Impersonating Virtual Analogue synthesizer in Trance music?
Diva actually emulates the original JP8000 or JP8080 (the one without a keyboard) with its Digital Oscillator. It has the multisaw/supersaw mode and my increasing Multi to the full you get the desired effect. Multisaw, which is great for rich pads is the go to when making that classic trance bus pad sound. It is really that easy. Setup it up as follow and the classic JP8000 trance pad is at your disposal!
Now, let’s make some amazing Trance Presets using Diva
You heard this sound in so many amazing Classic Trance singles by Rank1, Armin van Buuren, Binary Binary and many other great Trance Producers. Today it is back in the favourites tool box of Music Producers out there especially in Melodic Techno and House scene.
