U-He has a star on its hands with its virtual analog powerhouse, Diva. Join synthesizer star Sami Rabia as he shows you all her secrets, and teaches you how you can make Diva shine in your own projects!
Sami begins with the initial layout of Diva and then explores the oscillator section while demonstrating how to activate FM, Cross Mod, and Sync. Sami then reveals Diva’s filters and covers Diva’s envelopes and LFO section.
After the basic sound creation tools are explained, Sami shows you the different play modes available along with demonstrating why they are there. The trimmer section, amplitude, and panning controls, as well as going into more details about stacking the oscillators to make Diva sound absolutely huge are all explored.
Next, Sami walks you through how to use the arpeggiator, along with visual guides on what the arpeggiator modes are doing to your MIDI performance/notes. Then he teaches you how to use the modulation sources available in Diva, and how to take advantage of the luscious effects available.
After the plug-in has been thoroughly covered, Sami ends the series with five videos on designing your own sounds in Diva. You’ll see how to make huge pads, fat basses, sizzling leads, cool FX, and evolving arpeggiated sounds which will make Diva your goto virtual analog software synthesizer!

This series thoroughly covers Diva's features and also provides a lot of insight into analog synth programming tips and techniques. Even if you think you know a lot about subtractive synthesis this is a must see.

Very nice tutorial to get started with Diva
Concise but enough explanation to get rolling with this synth. I also felt like there were some nice little sound production tips in here as well.

Mr. Rabia keeps up a great pace while weaving in his vast knowledge of sound design into the examples. His tutorials more than justify the Groove3 subscription price. Thanks.
