There are more than 25 alternatives to Synthesia for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, iPad, Linux and Web-based apps. The five models offer a wide range of different characteristics that fundamentally affect the overall sound, giving you a broad palette to start with for your next riff, bass and pad.Īll five share common controls: waveform selection, octave range, mix or independent output volume controls, a noise source and plentiful modulation options. Synthesia is described as Learn piano, have fun practicing or enjoy lively MIDI visualizations with the cross-platform piano game and is a popular Piano Trainer in the audio & music category. Like the filters, Diva’s oscillators are also modelled on classic hardware. All filters have modulation options and the traditional cutoff and resonance controls, but each has its character, quirks and options. (If you are interested, Urs wrote an in-depth blog post about ZDF.)ĭiva models five different filters found in classic hardware synthesizers. With ZDF, the delays normally produced when modelling analogue circuits are vastly reduced, resulting in a much more authentic resonance behaviour. A combination of realtime circuit simulation and zero delay feedback (ZDF) design gives Diva its remarkable sound. The filters are at the heart of Diva’s analogue sound.
