@@AlexReidStudios Sure, and actually I knew it 100%, but there are good competitors to it, which I use, like Dune. for ex. But I was attracted by this plate reverb trick, which sounds amazing. Can you please give couple examples of pure reverbs with the same granular tail effect? Would be great 🙂
Thanks, man! Crossmod is indeed FM instead of PM (90% sure). Tell tale sign is the fact that the pitch rises with increased modulation. What I'm not sure about is whether Diva's crossmod is the linear or exponential variant (I don't own Diva). I'll guess exponential, for fun. Lately, I can vouch for tip #9 being effective. I've been really enjoying highly resonant patches with keytracking (although I haven't experimented with filter fm, yet). The high tracking resonance has got to be something close to physical modeling for pipe and air. You can mix noise as well and then you can get these otherworldly ambient pads, whistling choirs, or breathy flutes (phasers with wet-highpass are a bonus, sometimes). The trouble I've encountered, though, is keeping the keytracking from going too out of tune in extremely high or low registers from your target playing zone (seem to eventually flow off course).
Yeah it can be tricky sometimes, but depending of the synth its like another different voice. I like to add some sort of clipper saturator after that, making the resonance more crispy. Thanks for watching!
cross mod is weird cause its not always implemented in the same way. if i understand it correctly the thing that makes crossmod what it is is that both (could be more than two) operators (to use FM terms although it may not be FM it can be any modulations destination parameter) are modulating each other at the same time so its sort of a feedback type thing but not quite.
I considered getting Diva, but, now having added both a Moog Subharmonicon and Mother-32 to all my Korgs, I can create the main sound I was interested in from it with hardware. Also, I most recently added a Korg Opsix Module, though I still have a lot to learn about FM synthesis.

You should try the Mona skin, made using Diva much more fun for me
Great video!
Thank you! It looks beautiful. I've been playing with Volta, another great skin
installed Diva 😆
@@alexdiakov_ambient it's great!

Is that a real black rabbit head cover there... or is it superimposed software? 👍
It's real! And very cheap lol. Made it with cardboard

@@GillamtheGreatest That's true! That's why it gets out of control

@@Cysubtor_8vb You are settled then, still Diva is a beast on it's own too
Diva sound is amazing. Real beefy sound. U could do a test comparing it to a hardware analogue synth and you probably wouldn't notice the difference
