I understand why some people have got this much furious. With fairly high probability those who own Hive 2 loves its design -- The hexagon, the symmetric layout, the dark & cyber blue look, classic hardware-ish knobs and so on.Garzita wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 5:02 am I am quite confused by some of the posts here, you would think it is like that time when Apple made everyone have a U2 album on their iTunes library, except this is just another skin choice to use; no one is forced to use it. Some people's feelings seem to be way too strong on the matter.
They get excited on hearing that a new skin is added, open it and alas, there shows up a totally opposite design from what they'd expected -- No hexagon, asymmetric, light and monochrome, flat look with perfect unfamiliar system. Not a scent of the original Hive is left and you have to learn the UI from almost zero. For some it could be a nightmare like someone said.
Izmo is literally the "2nd variation", but it is natural that some regard it as the "1st alternative" and hope it to be designed for them who've loved the original Hive. So I am thankful to the modifiers like Funkybot's Evil Twin, who will fulfill the needs for that kind.
Aside from color variation things, there could be a chance to adjust/improve minor points on script level e.g. Tabs for ARP/SEQ in the center, clearer waveform selection. So a specific feedback is still welcome.
