Published 2024-07-19
This video features a selection of 24 FACTORY PRESET Demos. The featured Presets showcase an array of sounds from DELIA's Preset Banks, spanning classic polysynth and organ sounds to evolving arps and growling leads. Our guest artist, Daniel Mougerman also adds DELIA's A/B MORPH, BI-TIMBRAL SPLITS, EXPRESSION, SUSTAIN and some subtle envelope and filter manipulation. Enjoy! (headphones on)

DELIA by MELBOURNE INSTRUMENTS
DELIA introduces a 49-key velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard, new multi-mode analog filters, high pass & low pass resonance control, 3-stage overdrive and endless modulation possibilities.
DISCRETE MULTI-MIDE FILTERS:
DELIA’s true analog low pass filter is the heart and soul of the sound engine — warm, full and sweet or fearfully aggressive. It is complemented with a high-pass modelled ladder filter which can be linked for bandpass and notch operation. With 12 and 24dB slopes and separate high/low pass resonance control there is huge scope when shaping sounds.
DELIA’s filters have an analog and a digital section per voice. The analog filter is the classic discrete transistor ladder filter offering a choice of 24dB or 12dB per octave operation. Prior to this filter is an analog variable overdrive circuit that can push the filter from normal operation to complete distorted collapse of the transistor ladder, adding richness, aggression and body to your sound.
The High Pass filter is a digital transistor-level mathematical model of a 24dB ladder filter, based on the gold-standard Ebers-Moll transistor equations. This gives an almost perfect match to the response of the analog circuit, including the overdrive response, resonance and natural filter frequency variations.
MORPH EVERY PARAMETER:
DELIA’s A/B Morph function lets you explore and sweep through timbres like no other. The A/B Morph sound is an actively calculated change in parameters between the A and B patches including the entire modulation matrix. This provides the ability to instantly create a new preset based on the Morph position that is neither the A or B patch, but instead a totally new sound. Morph is also a ‘MOD destination’, giving you even more creative control via Aftertouch, Mod Wheel and Expression.
TOTAL RECALL:
The motorised journey doesn’t end at Patch Recall and Morph. DELIA’s ‘MOD MODE’ automates the Modulation Matrix setup. As you move between the 20 MOD sources, every knob changes position to display the active modulation amount. There’s need to tweak the panel every time you switch sources or destinations, no matter how many modulations or slots are active.
You can make your ideas a reality in a matter of seconds, literally shaping a sound as fast as you can think it. INIT - MOD - LFO TO WIDTH - PITCH TO CUTOFF - AFTERTOUCH TO MORPH - MOD WHEEL TO EFFECTS - MORE RESONANCE ... SNAP!
PHRASE LOOPING & SEQUENCER:
DELIA’s built in Sequencer offers two modes of operation. In STEP SEQUENCER mode, DELIA allows bi-timbral operation up to 16 steps with control of note-values, step count, hold and MIDI assignment. PHRASE LOOPER mode can loop & layer up to 2000 notes, with no additional time or overdub limits. Just like in Step Mode, bi-timbral operation allows you to control two layers independently, and combined with DELIA’s A/B Morph, you have four assignable timbres at your fingertips.
Craft ideas using simple keyboard splits, or lose yourself in evolving stacked layers and sweeping morphs across vastly different sounds.

Sounds reallllly good, and love the almost retro look with the old computer style buttons and colouring Would looooove to use one of these in my music 😍
-
Green keycaps NINA looks gorgeous!
-
I really dig the computer keys on it. keep up the good work this thing looks sick!
-
Sounds wonderful :)
-
Interesting! I have had a NINA since the start and love it. It's the best polysnyth workflow I've ever used by far and this seems to share that quality. I think I probably don't have a need for the DELIA, having a NINA (though they seem to sound quite different), though I would be curious to learn if it's possible to polychain 2 NINAs...
-
Offer Delia as a module version and space conscious Nina owners like me would be more inclined to purchase. The green version of the Nina seen in the background is an interesting touch.
-
Awesome sounds coming from Delia. I have Nina and absolutely love it. Delia seems to have a slightly different sound but still sounds amazing. I was going to grab a 2nd Nina but may get Delia instead. Love that green button Nina !
-
I think the free space next to the knobs should've been filled with more parameters for a complete look.

-
You can't be a legit synth reviewer if you don't have a weeding ring these days
-
Sounds cool but looks terrible. I absolutely hate the computer keyboard style buttons
-
hmmm waay over priced and sounds very cheap lol i get a better sound from my arturia microfreak shame as it looks ace ust sounds limp organ or maybe its the dude playing crap sound lol
