u-He Diva Tom Wolfe Bundle (Download)
Dinosaur Impersonating Virtual Analogue synthesizer.

Step into a world of rich, analogue sound with the u-he Diva Tom Wolfe Bundle. Diva captures the essence of five decades of legendary monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers through meticulously modeled oscillators, filters, and envelopes—offering a level of authenticity that sets it apart from other virtual instruments. Powered by real-time circuit simulation and Zero Delay Feedback (ZDF) filter design, Diva delivers unmatched warmth, depth, and resonance for a truly vintage experience. This bundle includes three expertly crafted soundbanks by renowned sound designer Tom Wolfe: Luscious Pads, Atmospheric Arpegs, and Deep Basses—each featuring 50 presets that showcase Diva’s analog prowess. From soft, cinematic textures to bold, driving basslines and dynamic arpeggios, this collection offers instant inspiration for media composers and electronic producers alike. Diva’s modular design lets you mix and match components, creating your own hybrid synth setups, while deep modulation, classic effects, and subtle analogue imperfections breathe life into every sound. Whether you're after thick, swirling pads or punchy basslines with character, the Tom Wolfe Bundle gives you the tools to shape your sound with analog soul and modern flexibility.

Oscillators and Filters

The filters are at the heart of Diva’s analogue sound. A combination of realtime circuit simulation and zero delay feedback (ZDF) design gives Diva its remarkable sound. With ZDF, the delays normally produced when modelling analogue circuits are vastly reduced, resulting in a much more authentic resonance behaviour. (If you are interested, Urs wrote an in-depth blog post about ZDF.)

Diva models five different filters found in classic hardware synthesizers. All filters have modulation options and the traditional cutoff and resonance controls, but each has its character, quirks and options.

Diva models five different filters found in classic hardware synthesizers. All filters have modulation options and the traditional cutoff and resonance controls, but each has its character, quirks and options.

All five share common controls: waveform selection, octave range, mix or independent output volume controls, a noise source and plentiful modulation options. Plus a few touches unique to each model.

Effects and envelopes

Switching oscillators and filters on or off like an organ would be very limiting. Envelopes provide more nuanced and engaging results. Diva has two slots—one dedicated to the amplifier, the other to the filter—both with three models to choose from. Craft gently rising sounds, notes that fade slowly into the distance, or sharp percussion.

As a final touch you can put Diva’s two stereo effects slots to use. In keeping with the vintage feel, the available effects would be right at home in the studios of bygone days. Add space with the plate reverb and delay, or movement with the phaser, chorus and rotary speaker effects.

Subtle Details

The Trimmers panel is where you can make your sounds feel more analogue. Control voice detuning per oscillator, adjust variance between individual voices (round robin), voice drift and more—adding life to your music. These options mirror the inherent variations in analogue hardware. As the circuit boards are not always 100% the same (due to component tolerances), oscillator tuning may differ slightly, some envelopes are a little less snappy. The individual effects may be subtle, but they add up to a more authentic analogue sound.

Dive into the Modifications panel for more modulation options and an opportunity to push Diva into more experimental and unusual territories. Modulation processors such as Invert, Add, Quantize and Lag open up fresh ideas for manipulating Diva. These capabilities take Diva beyond the original hardware that inspired it.
