Despite being well over a decade old, u-he’s Diva is still considered by many to be one of the best and most convincing virtual analog synths available. And for a limited time, you can get it for over 50% off at Plugin Boutique.
Plugin Boutique is currently offering a 52% discount on Diva, which means you can pick up this legendary soft synth for £79.49 (usually £166). Additionally, u-he’s Repro is also available at a massive discount – details further below.
The limited-time offer ends on December 03, 2025.
u-he Diva
Diva is somewhat unusual in that there is a lot to explore, but it’s not overwhelming in any one area, and, coupled with an intuitive and customizable interface, it’s very user-friendly.
An example of one area where u-he could have gone further is the built-in FX: two stereo effects slots, each offering Chorus, Plate Reverb, Phaser, Delay, and Rotary Speaker.
Since Diva isn’t emulating one particular synth, the developer could have gone into overkill mode, adding countless FX modules, but Diva users rarely feel like anything significant is missing; instead, it’s the immediacy of modifying sounds that shines.
The thing that makes Diva special is that, while it isn’t an emulation of one specific synth, it combines elements from multiple iconic instruments to create a dream synth scenario with interchangeable parts.
Diva offers five oscillator models (Triple VCO, Dual VCO, DCO, Dual VCO Eco, and Digital), five filter models (Ladder, Cascade, Multimode, Bite, and Uhbie), and three envelope models, all based on classic hardware from the Moog Minimoog, Korg MS20, Roland Jupiter 6/8, Alpha Juno, and Juno 60.
In addition to the mix-and-match classic parts approach, you’ve various ways to tweak and modulate any sound, including per-voice oscillator detune and two host-syncable LFOs.
You also get a host-syncable arpeggiator, various modulation processors, voice stacking with individual voice tuning, a built-in oscilloscope, and more.
It’s worth checking out u-he’s mini tutorials on Diva to get the most out of it.
Diva has over 1200 factory presets, with many familiar bass, lead, poly, and pad sounds. There are too many to choose a definitive favorite, but some of the vintage leads, switched from legato to poly mode, are instant classic funk; I never get tired of them.
Returning to Diva’s user-friendly design, there are a few small yet incredibly helpful features. A simple unlimited Undo/Redo function is great when we go too far, the patch name display switches to show various parameter adjustments to avoid crowding the GUI, and assigning MIDI controls is quick and easy.
Diva is old, but when something is done right, it stays the course, and that’s why it remains highly regarded in 2025. The latest version of Diva includes MPE support.
Diva is available in AU, VST3, AAX, and CLAP formats for macOS (1.10 or later), Windows (7 or later), and Linux (glibc version 2.28 or later).
If you want more of u-he’s impeccable virtual analog sound, you can save 49% on Repro until December 03, 2025.
u-he Repro
Repro is one of my favorite synths, and during this promotion, it’s available for £66.17 (usually £131).
Repro combines two classic synth emulations in a single product: Repro-1 (Sequential Circuits Pro-One) and Repro-5 (Sequential Prophet-5).
In Repro-1, you have a monophonic monster, a built-in sequencer, an arpeggiator, and over 500 factory presets.
In Repro-5, you have a stunning recreation of one of the most beloved poly synths ever.
As with Diva, u-he hasn’t tried to reinvent these synths, but focused on capturing the core sound and character through component-level modelling.
One of the more unusual features of Repro-1 and Repro-5 is the Tweaks page, where you can dive inside the synth and adjust component behaviour for individual modules.
As a package, both models are excellent, but Repro-5, in particular, is a must-have synth for me. It’s no surprise for anyone to love the sound of the Prophet-5, but for vintage leads, funky basses, poly stabs, and atmospheric pads, you can’t go wrong with Repro-5.
Repro is available in the same formats and on the same platforms as Diva, referenced above.
Diva and Repro are incredible synths, and if you don’t have them already, either one is an excellent addition to your collection.
Don’t forget, if you buy Diva or Repro before November 21, 2025, you’ll also get MixBox or Bloom Vocal Edit Lite for free.
