After several days testing Hive (and Dune2), its UI is awesome. However I won't purchase it, it isn't enough. The lack of finetuning for each oscillator, it's a big no-no for me. It light on CPU compared to Diva, but it's CPU intensive when you compare it with Sylenth1 or Dune2. Almost the same CPU that a normal patch in Spire.
And, Imho, Sylenth1 still sounding more trancier. I hope Mac users can enjoy Sylenth1 soon with the upcoming update.
This would be my personal rank:
Spire > Dune 2 > Sylenth1 > Hive.
On a normal synth, cents(fine tune) would be tuned to -3/+3 to get a certain type of beating.ClubHo wrote:Urs wrote:We deliberately did't put them there.ClubHo wrote:Is there a fine tune knob for each oscillator?
For single oscs, fine tune is done by the Detune knob.
2 oscillators or more on the same tune are pointless in Hive since you can get 16x unison with just one oscillator. When you however detune in intervals, there's not much use of fine tune anyway.
Detune on both oscillators works in opposite directions. left up right down or vice versa.
Sub oscs can be fine tuned by holding [shift] while dragging their tune knob.
Nevertheless, if for whatever reason someone still needs to fine tune an oscillator, one can route the Constant modulator onto Osc Tune in the ModMatrix.
So there's plenty of ways. The best way is however to think economic and forgo the need to fine tune. The 16x unison should reduce the need to waste two oscillators for a thick sound on a given pitch.
To get the same beating in HIVE both detune knobs would have to be set to double the value +6/+6.
This bothered me at first but now that I understand it, its perfectly fine.
