Hive 2.1 public beta 01 revision 10837

[Weasel-Boy]

The Izmo skin, IMHO, just doesn't cut it. The controls look like afterthoughts. The contrast of the elements approaches unreadable. The design is completely out of sync with the unique and iconic hexagonal motif from which Hive draws it's very name. Sorry, but it comes off like another me-too GUI. I'm sure some will love it for it's take on where things sit within the layout. But as art? This thing hurts my eyes.

i couldn't disagree more - i think the new skin is brilliant

bear in mind AFAIK: it's still in beta, so a work-in-progress

Edit: here's why i think it's brilliant (post from the main skin thread): viewtopic.php?p=8014128#p8014128

I think the new Skin is really nice!!

What text editor do you guys use to edit the Hive Uhm files?

I'm using VS Code with an extension that highlights UHM syntax. I only messed with UHM scripts a little bit so far, though.

Fun with Hive 2.1 - comb filter (bit of Hive delay, no reverb)

Hi Pdximdy, could you please share this preset with us?

Heh... didn't even occur to me to save the preset... I was having fun tweaking stuff so I just kept going. Now I am curious if I can recreate it from memory!

Loving the new filters! A really amazing addition
The reverb filter with a bit of modulation sounds great!

that's cool demo

Any thoughts about a one shot mode for the oscillators for use as exciters/transients with the comb filters?

Good point Hakey!!

How about making a wavetable where only the first slot contains an impulse/signal?

Just use the Shape Sequencer as an envelope for Osc volume... works great.

You can make a FG phase that’s almost exactly a cycle long and use the Rise/fall/move gate to window the osc. Just keyfol rise or fall. I made a preset for this once. Control Rate gets a bit worse for high pitched Notes though.

(For these kinds of edge cases I am pondering about a HighDef mode for Hive which then also makes FM possible... but CPU... dunno. Not even sure it’s possible...)

Have been using the FG to modulate Osc volume. It works, but to get consistent results across different pitches it really needs keytracking the FG rate and fiddly tuning by ear. I think, though I'm not sure, that one shot oscillators would make that unnecessary.

Accidentally selecting one shot could lead to confusion, though.

How do you set the FG length and rise/fall keyfol? By ear?

Urs if you Could do this and the engine-filter mix and match I think Hive would be the ultimate.. offcourse add OSC Sync 2 haha
