Uhe-Total Bundle Pack (Mac)

In the cinema and in the studio, the gap between real and digitally created experience narrows each year. For many, the convenience, affordability and flexibility of modelled reality already trumps those final few percentage points of difference.

Uhe's Diva is proudly advertised as a 'game-changer': a software synth sounding so analogue you'll need to replace its capacitors in 30 years or so. Its main components resemble those of half a dozen classic instruments and it boasts enigmatic 'zero-delay-feedback' filters. But such realism has a cost, and in its highest resolution mode ('Divine'), Diva needs a pretty powerful computer to hit the 16-voice maximum that it can deliver.
