Hive 2: RM, Hardsync, FM?

[Igro]

I already have Zebra 3. So some may ask: "What else do you need..?"

However, Hive 2 is on sale right now on Image-Line website with the 50% discount. No, I'm not having a GAS now, but Hive 2 is very light on CPU and it may be very useful in many cases. But before buying it, I would like to know if it gets RM, Hardsync or FM (one knob FM) in the future?

I don't think Urs will ever add those features. But a Hive 3 with them and a 3rd oscillator would be cool! You can fake FM and RM sounds using the sideband filter at 100% keytracking. I made a really cool Roland or Moog modular-esque bell sound with the sideband filter. As for FM and Sync, you can use wavetables. There are several factory wavetables you can get started with. Plugmon has made excellent FM and analog-style wavetables that take advantage of the dual-axis feature.

Edit: You may also want to look into ACE. It has those features you want, but it doesn't have supersaws or wavetables, though. I prefer Hive's smoother sound.

Thanks. I will think about it.
