Panora
PANORA takes its cues from a particular strain of '70s and '80s electronica: imagined journeys, fantastic landscapes, distant worlds... and the occasional brush with period library music. The soundset follows this arc quite deliberately: Its '70s side is a little rougher around the edges — warmer, dustier, less perfectly tuned and more willing to drift. The '80s side clears the haze, being cleaner, tighter and more polished, without losing the overall plot.
Echoes of synth-based vinyl with covers promising vast horizons, glowing skies, strange planets with impossible alien architectures. PANORA doesn't attempt to recreate one artist or style, but to share a taste for atmospheres that feel as if they belong in a parallel universe...
Expect dusty, windswept vistas, gentle pads, quirky “found instruments”, alien percussion, strange melodies from the unfamiliar to the quietly menacing — all sitting somewhere between movie soundtrack, electronic concept album and the more eccentric side of functional music.
PANORA is less about nostalgia for its own sake than about using the vocabulary of two innovative decades of electronica as starting point for a journey into the future.

Sci-fi music: planets, aliens, interferences, and other wonders. Track by Bjulin.Automata
This collection of 300+ presets explore one of Diva’s lesser-known (and less accessible) talents. While most other soundsets created by a single sound designer focus on a specific musical style, this diverse collection delves into a more technical and underrepresented aspect - motion!
Bryan Lake, Chris Kay, Electric Himalaya, Howard Scarr, Viktor Weimer, Yuli Yolo and Yuta Yoshimatsu each contributed their distinct style to this project, demonstrating innovative per-voice modulation and LFO techniques that go way beyond the usual arpeggiated notes.

Automata contains one slightly rhythmic pad preset, and it’s used here in this atmospheric ambient improv by Howard.Atmos
Atmos inhabits the space between the real and the fantastical. Bjulin’s work evokes the dimension, emotion and atmosphere of various scenes—like floating high above the clouds or standing at the edge of a mysterious forest.
All 128 presets in this collection of arpeggios, leads, pads and ambient effects are permeated with a sense of space. Bjulin created the pure sounds to be sophisticated from the start, but applying Diva’s built-in effects thoughtfully, he manage to highlight each unique atmosphere and ambience.
Atmos is especially well suited for ambient, chillout and downtempo music, but can fit easily into almost any of your music projects.

Performer
Even if you are not a keyboard wizard, synth presets that go way beyond bread-and-butter when you dig into them can make all the difference to the character of your tracks.
Howard Scarr created Performer to help you out.
Each preset was crafted for maximum expression with carefully balanced ranges: Up to 5 dimensions of control warp each sound in a variety of musically satisfying ways.
Equally at home in the recording studio or on stage, the 130 instruments in Performer span 40 years of synth keyboard history: Polyphonic string, brass and organ sounds, monophonic leads and basses … plus a bunch of playable arpeggios and effects designed to wow any audience. Now show Diva your best performance.
