At Superbooth 2024 we met up with Ian at Melbourne Instruments who introduced us to Delia, their new polysynth. Delia shares Nina's motorized control surface, but Ian told us that it's a substantial re-invention of what Nina can do.
With a 49 note keyboard, the six voice synth is mainly digital, but with a final analogue ladder filter and VCA designed to have a tighter, more controlled sound. The filter is multi mode, with the ability to set high pass and low pass stages with independent resonance amounts. The entire digital stage of the synth can be doubled, so in bi-timbral mode you get 12 complete voices into 6 filters and VCAs.
Delia has a 3-stage overdrive, a wealth of modulation possibilities, and a chorus, reverb and delay which can run in series or in parallel.
