Gravity requires Kontakt Payer 5 of higher.įuture Audio Workshop’s Circle2 promises to be able to help you craft unique synthesizer sounds. That’s typically a good thing, but in this case, it might mean you’ll never get to hear all that Gravity can do. Some producers felt the vast library of patches was simply too much. It’s a natural fit for our best premium selection. The term “hybrid instrument” seems to fit best, extending its potential. But even for those who aren’t scoring for films and video games, it will have its uses. Gravity is naturally an excellent choice for composers and sound designers. And we’re just talking about the pads included here, not the pulses, risers, ambiences, and other included tools. Gravity comes with 100 complex pads in four categories – aggressive, ethereal, experimental, and unnerving. Heavyocity spent over a year capturing the organic source material featured in Gravity – bowing, resonating, smashing, dropping, and even colliding. Its feature set is nothing short of phenomenal – 2,200+ sound sources, 815+ snapshots, 325+ motion presets (NKAs), 1,200 NKIs, 780+ pads, 390+ strings, 19 riser menus, nine hit menus, two new designers for hits and risers, motion page (for advanced volume, pitch, and pan pattern creation), and playable trigger FX. This is a versatile, unique, creative tool that put pulses, risers, pads, ambiences, and more, right at your fingertips. Heavyocity does excellent work, especially in the realm of strings, and with Gravity, we find them right in their element again.

So, not only do you get access to much sought-after vintage synth tones, but you can also fuse them in surprising, delightful, and satisfying ways. The only downside, if there is one, is that it’s a bit CPU hungry.ĭiva or “Dinosaur Impersonating Virtual Analog” synth comes with five oscillators (Juno, Moog, and others), five filter modules, three ADSR envelopes, and various modulation and effects options.Īnd what that means is you can combine a Juno oscillator with Moog filter or an MS20 filter with an Oberheim oscillator. We’re not afraid to list it as our best overall option either, especially if you like the idea of taking vintage synth sounds to new heights.īut it makes sense – Diva’s sound quality is stellar, it has over 1,200 presets, and the UI is simple and attractive. Some even consider Diva the best software synthesizer available, and that’s high praise given the high bar the competition has set.

Diva exemplifies excellence in the soft synth arena, with its vintage hardware synth inspired tones, drawn from the best and most utilized foundational synths that rocked the 70s, 80s, and beyond.

We’re enthralled with all that u-he has to offer, both free and premium products.
