Automata marks a departure from our usual soundsets. While previous releases from a single creative mind would focus on a specific musical style, this collection delves into a more technical and underrepresented aspect of Diva: motion!

The 300+ presets in Automata were crafted by seven esteemed sound designers – Bryan Lake, Chris Kay, Electric Himalaya, Howard Scarr, Viktor Weimer, Yuli Yolo, and Yuta Yoshimatsu. Each sound designer brought their own distinct approach into this project. We believe their collective expertise has resulted in something truly special!

Going beyond conventional note patterns from the arpeggiator, the incorporation of per-voice modulation and innovative LFO techniques elevates Diva into a dynamic tool for generating musical motion.

Diva v1.4.6 supports the next generation of Native Instruments' NKS technology: optimized integration with the latest NI hardware (Kontrol keyboards, Maschine). For more information go to native-instruments.com .

Some of the improvements:

• Better CLAP support
• Support for native Silicon AAX (Pro Tools)
• Support for the next generation of Native Instruments NKS technology
• Support for macOS Ventura / Sonoma
• Linux: Support for MTS-ESP microtuning
• Better Windows installer

Free for existing Diva owners.
