Hi all,

We're very proud to announce that Hive is officially released!

It's fast, it's simple and it sounds big. We think there's something in it for everyone, no matter what musical style, age of computer or synthesis skills - it's quick for the novice and deep for the enthusiast.

Very low CPU usage
2700 presets
Switchable audio characteristics (normal, dirty, clean)
2 main oscillators, 2 sub-oscillators
Up to 16x unison for each of the 4 oscillators for “super” sounds
2 multimode filters
Step sequencer and arpeggiator
12 slot modulation matrix with 2 targets per slot, 4 envelopes (ADSR), 2 LFOs
7 built in effects
Single screen interface

149$ USD, available for AAX/AU/VST2 32+64 bit, Mac and PC

Here's a Linux VST2 version (support is still limited to our Linux KVR thread though)

Enjoy,

- Urs

Is this the same revision as the RC released a few ago? Is there any reason to install the final version over the RC?

Nope, same version (rev 3514) - there was no need to fix anything urgently (just don't press the hold pedal while browsing presets

)

The first U-HE-Synth with a virtual Keyboard, i think. I Love this beast. Thanks!

Grats to the release. That release video has to be one of the best presentation videos i've ever seen, really well made.

Nope, both Zebra and MFM 2 have a keyboard.

Congrats on the release, Urs&co.!
