Its core is a sequencer that runs in perfectly precise sync with your DAW and lets you mute individual notes and sounds in a looped fashion. Thanks to variable timing, swing and gate shape Strobe can easily match the feel of any melodic or rhythmic part. It's a simple yet versatile effect that is essential in all styles of music - and it has an incredibly fun-to-use interface.

Modules can be mixed and matched so you can build hybrids, but what sets DIVA apart is the sheer authenticity of the analogue sound. This comes at the cost of quite a high CPU-hit, but we think it was worth it: 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.

Stretch That Note announces a range of seven Kontakt 3/4 compatible DruMM modules: one free, and six more that each cost just $8 per module, or $40 for the complete suite.
Each of the seven available DruMM kits contains sixty carefully chosen drum sounds with bags of street character that can be individually or globally warped via a comprehensive engine, along with several sophisticated effect chains that alter Phatness and Crunch, add Vinyl grunge and alter Width. You can therefore quickly and easily create your own unique sounds with very versatile possibilities.
Over the years Eddie has programmed new sounds for outfits as diverse as Pet Shop boys, Art Of Noise, Public Enemy and Emu/Ensoniq as well as many others, and his sounds have featured on many chart hits. Now you have the perfect chance to add them to your own tracks.
