Yeah, I've asked that myself. I think I'll remove PitchWheel, it's kind of odd to have there anyway.

I don't like the idea of a bipolar modulator there because Velocity is a unipolar one. Having one like this and one like that may seem strange, even if tune is bipolar (needs to be because of how the step record works)

Yeah, you should either remove pitch wheel or make it bipolar. Everyone expects the pitchwheel to be bipolar. Also, the CC lane defaults to a value of 50. 50 only makes sense for a bipolar control. It should be 0

Just IMHO, I'd rather see PW out of the CC list - it's an exception to MIDI CC rules for being bipolar, 14-bit, and having a direct target variable inside a generic/generalized synth architecture. Using it as a CC rather than pitchbend is valid but necessarily a technical choice rather than the simple choice.

I do like the idea of abstract XY modulators, even just a single, solitary X, which is then assigned to point internally to some CC/CV-like mod source. I think this allows for PW to be used as CC for external sequencing - it's technical rather than simple, but I'd argue it's already technical for using PW as a CC.

(The one not-so-simple consequence is there's a slight collision between e.g.:
Seq -> 'X' -> MMatrix
Seq -> MW -> 'X' -> MMatrix
... but that's easily fixed by not allowing the sequencer to directly target 'X'.)

A little bug:

The dialog box "Overwrite preset" is not blocking the calling dialog.

Quick suggestion if it hadn't been mentioned yet: perhaps a on/off switch on the modulation boxes so we can quickly A/B the effect?

Updated bank attached.

georgez you are crazy, thanks for your preset pack.

the sinewaves sounding somehow better in HIVE as in sylenth1.

Having fun working with Diva patches, but my version of Howard Scarr's Switched Back On isn't doing too hot. Any ideas?

Thank you guys for the latest Hive patches, I'll try them later.

Hive patches, enjoy.

Advanced Plucks, some FX, some percussion, and some seq's...

Pretty good

, but missing the slight pitch modulation. See 'LAG' in the original Diva preset. Use Mod2 instead of lagged gate.

Yep, that's on our bug list, works in every u-he plug-in

Oh I was wondering what that did. Thank you!

Here's a few more patches mostly ported from Diva and a few other VSTs. I have a couple others that were converted from some commercial soundbanks by VintageSynthPads and Le Lotus Bleu but even though I've done extra work on those I don't know what the legality is for redistributing those, so for now I'm omitting them until I can contact the authors.

There will be more... this is fun.

(edit: patch bank superseded -- see downthread)

can Hive do this sound? at 1 minute, i dunno how to describe it, i could never reproduce anything near it or anybody i asked

this glided, harsh lead.

some said it isnt possible with a standard subtractive synth.

EvilDragon · Post by **EvilDragon** » Sun Jan 04, 2015 7:01 pm

That's your run of the mill supersaw lead, really. Some noise, a touch of distortion, some reverb, and portamento... Not that big a deal really.
