Hive preview (April 1 update)

[jacqueslacouth]

Meh, can't come up with one reason as to why I would need this synth….of course it will sell by the truckload and will be met with undying adulation for the next 5 years.

Loving all these mp3 examples.

Hive is stellar...

[pdxindy]

oh 3. how can you link your pitch or mod whell to control a knob? im a bit confused how the mod section works.

in the Mod Matrix, select modwheel as the source and mouse drag from the target field to whatever parameter you wish to modulate

[Sendy]

Here's my feature suggestion/request. Just a shot in the dark

I'd like to be able to phase lock the sub to the main oscillator, without having to enable phase reset. A suboscillator just sounds harder when it's phase-locked, and the ability to control it's phase in relation to the main oscillator would be excellent, as well, to get those classic Roland/Korg monosynth tones.

I'd also like to be able to play with the phase relationships of the oscillators when they do key-on sync in supersaw mode, to be able to get different timbre starting points. Just one control is really needed - a spread function to be applied to the phase of each supersaw parial - rather than arbitrary control of each of the 16 partials (which obviously, would go against Hive's anti-geekery philosophy).

These controls could go somewhere in the extra hexagon page, under "oscillator finetune" or something, as they wounldn't need to be very prominent.

Will the mod matrix be able to modulate the unison number in the finished version?
I wish the flange could be used as a separate plugin. It's too good, no alternative to it.

Have you tried Uhbik-F?

It's very, VERY excellent.

Sorry needs deletion

Wow, this really sounds great! I wish u-he would just show the lfo speed in hertz instead of the 0.1s, 1s, 10s though, that really bugs me with all their synths.

Big +1

I would wish that the mod wheel can be used to control various parameters with adjustable strength..
that the filder modulation sources are free as mod1 and mod 2 and offer each all 4 sources.. so 2 lfo´s on one filter are possible..
And the fx section should have a master volume that one could have patches that work with a gobal fx on/off without volume jumps.. fx section on/off could be a mod wheel destination. or a global fx section /wet dry mix.. but that would require an extra knob.

I also would like if the sub oscilators would have an own unison setting.. i actually like the sub osc the most on this plug in.. PW modulation with various depth on the different unison voices could be nice too.

A patch for whatever from my first test

You can do those things in the Mod Matrix...

ah thanks. .. it has a big mod matrix.. with modwheel access i wouldnt have needed to name my patch amp2 release but could have called it "Willi 1 "

[serhiy06]

I want Global Unison and VoiceIndex as Modulator (like Diva has).

In 2015 I don't want another Sylenth1-ish synth that, to be honest, is Hive at the moment

[Maykie]

Iam totally in love with this synth!

But i have suggestion. Let us be able to completely stop phaser rate on certain frequency. Its just greate for making these rubbery-sounding basslines and it seems like Hive is perfect for that purpose.

Cheers

just received the email notice about it ... will post feedback after I give it a spin!
