We can discuss it. There's no reason not to, but we simply thought we'd start out with the most minimal feature set. We're going to soup up the keyboard control with more features later (chord editing, scale locking). So maybe we can somehow add the .tun file support in there too.
You know, chord editing and scale locking would be crazy cool with microtonal scales.

This is the sort of thing that makes me think the *master plan* may not so much be about selling u-he products to EDM oriented non nerds, but selling an EDM oriented product to u-he nerds

I bet a lot of us salivating over Hive would never even have considered Sylenth in the first place.

i don't know if it have been discussed but a great feature would be a A/b switch to the orignal preset for quick comparaison, a quick a/b would be a workflow improvment for guys like me who save many patchs for one presets , and i think it may lead to better programing as well making it easier for fine tuning .

Maybe it's already implemented? i should check manual before posting

going to read it..

You could be right. I have managed to resist Sylenth, Dune and Spire through the years without too much trouble, but will I be able to resist Hive?

My coupon will save me 25 dollars, which will immediately be redirected to mr Aiyn Zahev's Hexagon soundset for Hive when released. Yess!

Yeah, although I suspect the truth is probably somewhere in-between and that Hive is what people call a 'crossover' product - something that breaks barriers between what are normally fairly separate marketplace communities.

Here are some basic (very non EDM patches) I made, if anyones interested.

Not really a feature that matter with the quick presets switching even if it's not as easy.

Wow, GENIUS, I had to buy it!!!
Are MidiMaps on the horizon? 2 MidiMaps for further Modulation would be the cherry on the cake!!!

Hive and ACE are now my favourite synths, hands down!!!

+100

I've been asking for this for all u-he synths for a good while. Having to save multiple tweaked versions of a patch (which subsequently need deleting) is a really clunky way of doing things.

May be it's just me, but I still think that the most intuitive U-he synth is Zebra - so many abilities at one place - it is very easy to see all things together.

While I love Hive, I don't like such hysteria around it (and Diva too) - what if U-he decides that it is much more advantageous to make synths with a fixed audioflow and simple sweetspot-based interface? Yes, they have very good sales, extremely good responses etc. Compare with brilliant Zebra - there are so many people that just afraid it, or say that it has a bad sound.

No worries. Zebra is and stays our flagship synth.

I agree. Zebra stay absolute reference for me too, clearly the "must-have".

However, I must admit that DIVA make me hysterical for the sound: insane!

After that, I really enjoy playing with others u-he-babies (Bazille, ACE and now Hive). Different feeling and different philosophy.
