Haha, yeah me too! Congrats on the release!

Favourite preset so far - BIO Fripped Out Ebow - good old biomechanoid

Cool! Just Upgraded Is it just me or does the on screen pitch wheel & mod wheel not have any effect ? Pulling my real wheel does though. Let me know if you want more details.

Depends on your MIDI channel - the on screen ones send on Channel 1

Wow, why just 20 EUR for the upgrade? I really like the new functions, sounds that keep on changing. It’s alive, it’s alive…. Jokes aside, this is a really good synth. Job well done!

[e@rs]

Indeed, 20 EUR is too low. I think I'll skip upgrading for now and wait for a price increase.

Upgraded without a hitch, looks beautiful, sounds beautiful! Still haven't checked the new features in detail, that's next on my list...

Oh and if someone is concerned about the upgrade price being too low, I'll gladly accept any extra cash you might want to pay! (Somebody has to make that joke every time.) But I agree, 20 e is a nominal price for this much new stuff.

Hi Urs (and other U-Hers),

Love Hive 2.0, but found an issue.

I use Bitwig and its browser (love that it 'understands' U-He preset format), but with Hive 2.0 there is a noticable hickup (delay + hicking sound) after selecting (but not yet OK-ing) a new preset for Hive 2.0. After about for 5 seconds (!) this hicking stops, and the preset is actually selected. No crash, not workable either.

This was working flawless in Hive 1.2 (or any other VST actually)

Any clue?

Cheers,
Joris

Congrats on the release. Loving it.

Issue:
When changing a filter preset or osc preset (clicking on the down arrow left to the title and picking a preset in the dropdown) I often had the sound stopping.
It was inconsistent though. In some case just a small pause, click or pop.
In most other cases like e.g. when using the patch presets "Acidity" and "Aethersphere" (first presets in subdir 'Local'), the sound/sequence completely stopped until you play another note.

Windows 7 64 bit, VST2, Ableton 10.

Everything from the upgrade transaction to the install and using it in Studio One worked flawlessly! Windows 8.1

Great job Urs and team. Can't wait to dig in!

Really love the new features and the new look! Will upgrade tomorrow first thing

And what happened with the idea to save .uhm scripts within presets?

2 more Hive 2.0 issues:

- UTF8 characters like … (e.g in Usage field in 'HS FM Pipes.h2p') show in Hive's preset browser as a curse (gibberish).
- Bitwig browser does not parse the meta block of presets (start of h2p files) if specified with @Meta (uppercase M), it will parse it if specified with @meta (lowercase m)

Joris, which operating system do you work with I have no problems with Hive , Bitwig +Linux Mint.

[Caine123]

AWESOME! so just to be sure!

1. it is 100% compative with my all older presets?
2. it wont delete my current presets and 3rd party presets?
3. i need to install it in the same hive1 folder? overwrite?

thx
