u-he has released beta 467 of Diva, a virtual analog synthesizer instrument for Windows and Mac.
Diva is the first native software synth that applies methods from industrial circuit simulators (e.g. PSpice) in realtime. The behaviour of zero-delay-feedback filters when pushed to the limit clearly demonstrates the advantages of this groundbreaking approach.
