New tube distortion module
AAX support for Pro Tools 10 & 11
100 new patches from Howard Scar.
Howard is the guy that works at u-he and also makes patches for Hans Zimmer who made the music for The Dark Knight movies and Man Of Steel.
The distortion module creates traditional analogue-type saturation. If used in the FX Grid, Dist can even mimic a complete guitar amp and speaker cabinet. The basic signal flow is: input stage (gain) – pre-tilt filter – distortion – post-tilt filter – post filter – output stage (gain) Type Tube class A: Simulates a complete tube preamplifier. Class-A is the 'traditional' type of tube distortion, creating both odd and even harmonics by using a single tube and apply- ing DC bias. Due to the asymmetry of the operational curve, Class A distortion sounds relatively warm. Tube class AB: Simulates a preamplifier with two tubes in a ‘push-pull’ arrangement, which leads to symmetrical distortion with no even-harmonic partials. Tube 2 stages: Mimics a tube amplifier with two class-A stages in series. Like class A, this also creates odd and even harmonics, but the results are richer and more dynamic. This mode applies additional internal filtering and feedback for more sonic complexity. At high gain settings you should hear more pronounced treble roll-off and more bass lift. Hard clip: This mode simply chops off the top and bottom of the waveform
Zebrify also got the tube distortion Module so you can use it as a tube effect plugin on anything.
Zebrify is a cut down Zebra that can be used as an effect plugin it comes in the Zebra install.

"Who said only analogue synths from the 70ies could be dinosaurs? Wink
We thought that the 1990ies JP-80x0 was as much a vintage dino as any analogue one. We felt that Diva would benefit if she could recreate the vibe of the JP-80x0 oscillator. Needless to say, the JP does not only have a SuperSaw waveform, it also has Feedback, PWM, TriangleMod ("wrapped triangle"), a bendable sawtooth, tuned/filtered noise and a bendable triangle.
Unlike the JP however, we merged the possibilities of both oscillators and spent both the full feature set - every knob always does something and every waveform can be played polyphonic. Out came the new Digital Osc module: "
Next up, the most requested vintage filter was then multimode filter (SVF) found in the Oberheim OB-X and SEM synthesizers. Unfortunately the only remarkable difference to the 12dB filter of the existing multimode filter in Diva was the uncompensated resonance. That is, the level goes up when resonance is turned up.
Therefore we exaggerated the non-linear behaviour of this filter. So this one has a lot of character Cool . Also, it doesn't just morph from lowpass to highpass via notch, it can also do so via bandpass:
Last but not least the most requested feature for Diva was an arpeggiator. Of course nowadays arpeggiators are most often what I call sequencers that also arpeggiate (I plead guilty!), but we decided to stick to what Diva does best: Recreate vintage vibes in a modern dress.
Thus Diva's arp is a colourful mix of various arpeggiators we've found in our vintage synth collection. Most notably, we managed to reproduce the "Leap" mode of the Crumar Spirit which does that instant TD feeling. In addition we decoupled Arpeggiator and Clock so that we can use the Clock module for future additions: "

Anyone feeling left out can get the free u-he synth that's been around a while but got updated a year ago.
