⬤ Does U-HE Diva seem confusing to you?
⬤ Tired of tweaking parameters and having no idea what it does?
⬤ Want to know each section of the synth and the ways that you can control your sounds?
⬤ Are you wasting time when it comes to creating or tweaking sounds?
Welcome AM Studios guest tutor Bluffmunkey! Some of you may know him from the fantastic Tech Trance soundbank project he worked on for AM Studios!
Geoff Heade (AKA Bluffmunkey) has been a professional sound designer for over 10+ years now. Geoff and I met him on the old Anjunabeats Trance forum when I started producing. Geoff is a very talented sound designer with a massive wealth of knowledge in synthesis, so I decided to bring Geoff on to help you guys understand and simplify one of the most lush-sounding synths in the industry.
It’s frustrating and time-consuming to just tweak knobs on presets and not understand what they do!
In this Diva tutorial, Geoff goes into great detail, explaining every aspect of the synth and how it works, including some features that not many people know about.
He shows you some amazing features and explains the sound flow of Diva and how each section works. This is perfect for anyone who hates reading manuals and prefers a visual approach to learning!

Gotta love a Bluffmunkey tutorial! Learned a LOT and the diva patches are super nice too.
Well done 🙏
Very good presets for diva!
Muy buenos presets para el sintetizador Diva! Viene con un tutorial en video
Absolutely brilliant educational talk, that helped me understand every parameter of the synth. This has greatly helped my programming abilities allowing me to quickly produce exactly the tones I want and also with additional information about stacks and voicings, let me make them fatter and richer than I thought the synth was initially capable of. A very worthwhile investment. Thankyou so much for explaining every detail clearly and concisely at a really good pace. I while back I did a degree in music and wish my tutors there had been up to this level of teaching. Thankyou so much for producing this.
Just like the Serum tutorial, Bluffmunkey teaches you in a way in which you just get it. I’m starting to use Diva a lot more in my tracks for classic sounding trance which is great. Obviously Diva can be used for any style. This is as n excellent tutorial.
More tour than tutorial for me. Would have expected and liked more trance-focused guidance given the forum.
