Plenty of one shot sawtooths/ramps. Loads.CRAFTMATIX wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 10:47 pm I'm not sure how the new modulators will work and have no clue what is possible with them but I am curious if I can do something like modulate a source in a way that ramps it up to a predictable predetermined point and then stops it abruptly and completely at a certain desired point without it trying to continue or bleeding through the way an LFO or ADSR will? Something like a one shot sawtooth shape.
Hive 2 is coming!

Thanks for the reply !Urs wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:45 amIt also requires a heavily tabbed interface.
If you need an Attack and separate loop part I'm sure we can come up with something. Mind you, I've become a bit of an envelopes-are-envelopes-LFOs-are-LFOs-guy as of late. Instead, I'm evaluating the option to make the position dependent on a modulation source. Maybe for a .x update later on. And then you can use one of the primitive function generators to loop through this thing with a separate attack phase.
But as I said, not every synth needs all features ever conceived. I'd say, let's see how this one plays out before we condemn it to oblivion, and vice-versa.
I agree that a virtual synth must not have all features that would be possible, because it would end up in a monster synth with 50% CPU usage with a 16 thread Ryzen 2700X.
But in a musical point of view it's often important to have a not looped attack before the loop begins. Examples for this musical situations are plucked sounds with an hard attack and then a looped sutain/screaming part or Pads and Strings with an attack effect followed by a looped part which is soundwise different to the attack sound.
Therefore this would be an important feature for musical expressions and should be part of a Hive 2.
Hive 1.2 is great and I hope Hive 2 will become even better especially with such feature in that new Mod-Tool.
I will of course test a beta or demo of Hive 2 and then see what can be done with that Mod-Tool.

You will be able to do the sort of sounds you want in Hive 2.

This is awesome news... looks like I'm buying new since I can't find one f/s in the forum. Glad it's gonna be such a low upgrade price. I'm using the demo and now I have too many tracks with hive to not own it.

If you buy now there is no upgrade price... or maybe that is what you meant but 'such a low upgrade price'?

On a side note, Hive2 went beta today. It's nowhere near finished and "production material", but I did present it to the team in the office today explaining all the little things we did - and painting a picture of the possibilities. I haven't been this excited in a while... OTOH .uhm wasn't that long ago, was it?

That Random Waveform + Interpolation/Crossfade is just gold for our music. And a lot more of its instant-good sounding stuff. Hive is really the hidden gem in the whole VST landscape.
Secretly hope that (Gearporn?) skin with non-middle-section is still happening

Is that a public beta of it ? What does it look like so far ?

I bough HIVE back. I always regretted selling it. Won't happen again!

no, internal beta, so not even the private beta team.

Interesting, see this is what I was wondering about. Or maybe I could have clarified my beer soaked question better, and asked about how these new modular options would be accessed!Urs wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 9:01 amGrizzellda wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 12:53 am How is this any different from what you could achieve using a modular system, either software or hardware?
Providing that system could do wavetables.
I think with the revised interface and the added options Hive will go far into modular territory.
So it kinda sounds like whatever new modularity is available will be accessed thru an expanded ModMatrix, and the basic flow of the synth's design will remain much like it has been.
