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

I'm on Mac + Bitwig 3.0 beta 3 (sorry, I should have said so from te start)

Is it me or are the NKS sound preview files missing?

[Telematix]

No issues here.
And all I have to say about the update is "das ist fantastisch!".

We don't put them in the installers, we will provide them as separate downloads. They're ready to go and should be accessible as a separate download either tomorrow or next week.

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

Yes, my midi controller had accidentally switched channel, oops. Hows the expected cpu usage with a poly pad with slow resonant filter sweeps, unison spread (lets say for examples sake, using close to all 16 voices), compared to a shorter patch? Should it run super smooth or could one expect some significant cpu usage if really pushing the synth?

WTF! the licence code email was sent so fast to my email that I am now paranoid it's a bug! LOL
I literally got the Paid notification from PayPal and the Licence code at the same time

So it replaces first Hive? How does this work with projects that have Hive1 instance already? Have some projects that are using lots of cpu already. Dont want to push it over edge if Hive2 takes up more cpu.

Great update, no issues here as of yet.

I can not say for sure. Modmatrix and "old" modulators got quite a push for less CPU consumption, but organizing the new stuff takes a bit of CPU even when not used. In my observation the new stuff has been very CPU friendly. Oscillator unison, wavetables and effects have always had more weight on CPU, but I don't recall any changes on those.

The more I play with this the more I'd love to have a dedicated lane in the scope for 'last touched control' - just to save me some clicking while I jump between various knobs. Finding the scope really useful so far.

yep...lovely upgr(d)ad(t)e! The UI is nice as well (however, i like a more flat approach)

Is there a way to make the modulation activity visible? E.g. modwheel controls the cutoff but cutoff button is not moving at all.

I have mixed feelings about the new GUI. It lost its unique digital design and it feels cluttered and overload. I find myself searching for the right controls all the time, its somehow unfamiliar. The FX section on the other hand is a great improvement. Only active effects are visible and color coded, well done.
