![]() ![]() You won't be disappointed with the included presets. Still, it manages to be easy on the eyes and far from ugly. The interface is a fairly plain affair, designed to be intuitive and quick to use rather than frilly. You'd be forgiven for feeling daunted at the prospect of getting started, but the layout and workflow are deceptively simple for a synth that's capable of so much. Combined with the Oscillator X and Y controls mentioned elsewhere, this feature means that you can adjust the tone of each Diversion patch to fit the mix you're working on without ever reaching for an EQ. Sub adds the sound of another oscillator an octave lower, while Brilliance sharpens the waveform edges, making the sound brighter. ![]() The Scissor effect is like an unusual waveshaper that we found pleasantly unique and quite unpredictable. Under the oscilloscope, Buzz appears to add a rough, jagged edge to any waveform, giving lower notes more definition. It basically comprises four knobs that all modify some detail of that oscillator's waveform. Our favourite filter type for shaping the oscillators is the Bell Comb filter - it's an unusual take on a comb effect that creates distinctly throaty textures when modulated.Īnother tone-shaping feature that impressed us is the Oscillator Effects section (although the name is a little misleading, we reckon). ![]() Each of the four oscillators has its own filter with the same extensive feature set as the bus filters, including velocity sensitivity, key follow and multimode drive. We think that Diversion's greatest strength is the degree to which you can control its tonal qualities. They sound warm and silky out of the box, but if you're after a more rugged sound, the filters have a drive control with a variety of useful and interesting flavours to choose from. ![]() The oscillators are routed through twin buses that sport some of the most comprehensive multimode filters we've ever seen. In fact, Diversion can pretty much do anything you could ask of it, sonically. The four oscillators are arranged in pairs that can cross-modulate via FM and RM, so even though the oscillators offer your typical virtual analogue stuff, you can get all the classic grunts and screams of a digital synth, too. ![]()
