Wish list 2026

Pipe dream: a rack in Hive where you can load UHM scripts that act as a chain of wavetable transformers (or just generator) with the final output cached as the used wavetable.

My dream is a visual uhm editor... a Stack of modifiers that represent a line of uhm each and e.g. visually make editable the envelope. Formulae would still be formulae though, but you'd see the result for each line visualised.

That would be wonderful!!

Would be cool to have dedicated visual modules like templates to generate uhm scripts to import into Hive2.

A pity that uhm scripting never saw the light of day in Zebra3 as it was hinted to 4 years back just after Hive2 was released. I still would like to have a sanctioned uhe hybrid wavetable - sampler converter utility to bring samples into wavetables

But my Ultimate wish would be parallel filtering into diva with zebra type filters into diva. Almost like an inverse of Zebra Hz into diva with a Jp like filter with pre filter gainstaging and better more versatile reverb into diva

Hello!!
A 6 db and 18db per octave added to the ladder filter.
Make Env 1 for the filter and Env 2 for the amp like all the other synths I use. I still get confused with this setup.
and maybe copy the modulation matrix from the Repro synths.

[Fannon]

I'm super happy with Repro, can't think of much what it misses - maybe one, two FX more - taken from Zebra 3?

Diva 2 might have a lot of potential! Add a few more modules / filters, modern mod-matrix, maybe add a quality level beyond divine (if that makes sense? ) and factory presets using that. A more modern Theme by default. I think this alone would make a lot of people go back to Diva, pay for an upgrade.

Of course looking forward how Zebra 3 evolves!

Even better!

I just don't know when or even if I have time to work on this...

Diva
- dual filters or - failing that - an xpander type
- ability to set the phase of the sub-osc. It's currently possible to do juno6/0 sounds but not 106/101
- more input input drive to the filters. But trimming as well: backing off the levels to a filter can be just as interesting as boosting them
- wouldn't say no to Z3 style modulate everything
- a way to change the envelope curves from log through lin to exp
Z3
- curve library (not the whole oscillator; just the curves)
- notch filters. The SEM's is amazing and the phaser modes, good as they are, aren't quite the same
- envelope curve shaping as above (and that doesn't involve the MSEGs)

Just a wishlist, though. Very happy with both plugs just as they are...

[ksandvik]

I miss the old Octopus FM sw plugin, or a big matrix of anything to anything FM modulation sw plugin.....

My only wish is that Zebra 3 gets NKSN export - the community already built the NKS compatibility.

[rACatkvr]

What’s NKSN?

[Vagusuk]

Presets in the format read by Komplete Kontrol. My workflow (because tagging and previews) goes through that for my synths. Hive and Zebra both allow export and conversion to NKSN - I'm not sure if any other U-he products do as I don't own them.

It's a one click process that saves my life every week.

[Esgalachoir]

Maybe you guys have already considered it, but perhaps instead of NKSN, come up with your own control/wrapper interface that can fill that niche.
I set out to try something like this earlier this year, because I am learning how to code, and I wanted snapshot capabilities like Camelaudio's Alchemy for EVERYTHING I own, but that is QUITE the rabbit-hole. I even came up with a name for it: Vyxin. However, someone beat me to the concept:
https://electricsmudge.com/

His approach is too clunky for me and it seems to be more tailored to a DJ's tastes/needs, but maybe I'm just biased and disappointed that he got there first. Too bad for me...

I have some very scatter-brained docs and a whiteboard full of the architecture/flow for my own design, but my familiarity with C++ is basic at best and I must face the reality that it might not get further than that.
