Knobcon 24: Melbourne Instruments Delia

At Knobcon 2024, we had the chance to catch up with Mike from Voltage and Company about the latest offering from Melbourne Instruments, the Delia synthesizer. Mike provided an in-depth look at the Delia, highlighting its hybrid nature in comparison to the Nina.

The Delia is bi-timbral and comes equipped with motorized potentiometers for parameter morphing. Unlike the Nina, which is four-part multitimbral, the Delia offers a different set of functionalities suitable for diverse sound design applications.

The demo included hands-on use of the morph function to blend two disparate sounds, illustrating how the Delia can be a versatile addition to any synthesist's toolkit. Mike also delved into the oscillators – two virtual analog, one wavetable, and a fourth for noise or external input – and reiterated the quality of the Delia's digital effects.

The Delia is available now at $2399.
