Hello,
There are a few things in hive 2 that im struggling with
First , the matrix, when I want to modulate the Osc tune with the LFO to make a vibrato for exemple, the minimum value of the matrix knob is already too much detune, i didn't find a simple way to have a subtle vibrato. not talking about the fact that there is no way to modulate the "master tune" of the oscilators...which would make things even more simple
same problem with the white noise... to put it simple , it's LOUD, and most of the time I never put the level above 1 or 2, the problem is , its impossible to be precise at these levels , there is no decimals, it just feels like the maximum level should be waaay quieter , or the knob value should be not be linear and more like an exponencial curve or something...
this is not to complain about the plugin which is great otherwise, but to look for solutions

Let me slightly Highjack this thread... is it me or there is something "wrong" with the way the amp envelope works? I made a let's say "horrendous" dissonant bell with noise and 2 dissonant filters with different setting (different even in the keytracking, yes I said it was horrible) and there is no way apparently to make the release part of the sound work, not even setting the envelope to one shot... while on most other patches, if not all of them, it seems to work as it is supposed to, there it seems not to... does anyone have a clue what might be happening here?

If you are using 2 Dissonant filters, then you are likely using both Amp Envelopes.Platipo wrote: Thu Sep 15, 2022 6:15 pm Let me slightly Highjack this thread... is it me or there is something "wrong" with the way the amp envelope works?

Platipo, could you post the preset so we can take a look?

Maybe upload that path and we can have a look on it. Maybe you configured something additionally that interferes with your goal?Platipo wrote: Thu Sep 15, 2022 6:15 pm Let me slightly Highjack this thread... is it me or there is something "wrong" with the way the amp envelope works?

I did a tutorial series about Hive 2 maybe this can help you?

This is it.Ploki wrote: Sat Sep 10, 2022 6:03 pm I think shift or control allows for finer knob movements.
Also there’s “vibrato LFO” that acts as a global OSC vibrato? Why just not use that.

Yep, you're probably right, I'm using both amp envelopes, and well... I'm not used to think there are or there could be more than one amp envelope in a patch. Thank you
