Pull yourself a pint of mulled eggnog and tuck into a Ferrero Rocher and brussels sprout pie, for it is a-Christmastime!

And here at The Unfinished Towers that can mean only one thing... the annual The Unfinished Christmas Sale.

You can get 40% off everything on the site, with the discount code LFOHOHO, until the clocks gently tick over into 2024.

I'm just finishing off a little Christmas-themed freebie for Diva that should be ready and on my site next week. I'll keep you updated!

Happy Christmas shopping. :)

Just used a bunch of your sound sets on a game project — ace stuff!

And for the curious, am I right in asking if it’s true that Diva has become far less of a CPU hog? I can run loads of it now in my DAW with no problems.

It might be a little more accurate to say that the processing power of the average computer of today, is much more capable of handling Diva’s CPU demand than when Diva was first launched. I’m not aware of any updates to Diva itself that has made it any less hungry. If I’m mistaken on this, someone please set me straight.

Well, I don't know the science behind it but, I do appear to be able to run more intances of it on my computer these days. So perhaps some efficiencies have been found.

I'm sure U-He in their usual dilligence have kept optimizing Diva over the years. But since 2011 CPU perf has improved something like 10-20x.

I seem to remember reading a comment by Urs saying the lowest quality in Repro is more CPU demanding than the divine quality in Diva.
 
I have definitely run into a few issues when putting Diva tracks into Divine, but to be fair I have a 2016 MBP so hardly a world-beater at this point. I've had the same issues when changing Repro and Alchemy tracks as well (by default I think all 3 are second-to-best quality iirc). I think it depends on the patches maybe and of course whatever else you have going on.
 
My brand new Christmas soundset freebie is now up on my website.

Diva Lupus (Teaser).jpg

Diva Lupus is a homage to the wonderful synth-laden score to the BBC's 1984 Christmas TV series, The Box of Delights.

Created by Roger Limb and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, it has been a favourite of mine ever since it first entranced me, at the age of 9.

Enjoy this little collection of 45 warm, retro and spiky analogue synth sounds for u-he's Diva.
