Hive 2.0

I want to remove this "single" search, while retaining what currently there…

Understood… I'll ask Frank i.e. "Mister Browser".
(BTW that's an interesting solution.)

Hi,

I bought hive 2.0. My first version. I am thrilled. But I have two small feature requests.

1. please make it possible to rename the favorite tag. I consider each time whether I have put the super pads now under 1 or 3.

2. it would be nice if the arpeggiator and the sequencer would output midi data like many other plugins. Since I note my music like one or the other, I can't use the built-in arp because it doesn't output midi notes.

3. i hope there are still some current videos to the many new adjustment possibilities.

Would it be feasible that if you click on a button you will be shown which modulator controls what? Like e.g. with Modular PlugIns you can make the wiring visible and invisible.

I have requested this for ages and more than once. Unfortunately only a handful of devs are able to understand how important this is for todays music composition workflow. And so I gave up waiting. Thank God, Spectrasonics released midi-out with Omni 2.6

But for instance waveforms and other stuff which is not represented by numerical values needs to be a drop down menu. Otherwise it's impossible to discover the full range of options.

Yep but may be they could have their own browser (like in Z2) and stay in proper subfolder - it's not marked in pull-down menu. Also, name of wavetable is not displayed as well.
So if you forget folder and name - it makes things a bit hard.

Urs, also as i understand there will be a maintance update for Hive 2 that might solve the slow gui and the buggy UI redrawing (in FL studio not all modules apearing at once) ?

I don't know about buggy UI redrawing. Someone mentioned it, but I haven't seen it happening yet on any machine. I'll leave it to our QA and Win developers to figure this out.

Remember the time when everyone was complaining about stuttering UI in FL Studio on Windows?
We fixed this quite some time ago.
But as a result, there is one small side effect.
When you move the plugin around on the screen, or when you open it's interface, you might see a few areas of the GUI which take a very short moment to be redrawn fully. Thus you might see a black spot for half a second or so. Nothing to be worried about, it's just a compromise we had to make in order to prevent the host stuttering.

Would it be feasible that if you click on a button you will be shown which modulator controls what? Like e.g. with Modular PlugIns you can make the wiring visible and invisible.

Right-click on a parameter, and if it is being modulated by something, there will be a menu listing all the modulation sources which affect this parameter. You can also remove modulations right there in that menu.
This also works for modulation sources. If you right-click those, you get the list of targets they are currently modulating.

Feature Request.. Any chance you guys could make a feedback offset on the delay plugin so that if L and R delays aren't set at the same rate you wont end up having the longer one playing alone after the shorter has faded out?

Thanks... forgot to add that one years ago! BTW doesn't apply to Ping-pong modes, only "stereo".

It's workable but it's not the best system around.
Although Cypher2 had it's criticisms, you can just hover over a modulator in their transmod and see immediately which targets are affected. You also see immediately which modulators are in use.

This hovering action is much faster then (right)clicking for each parameter separately, without even having visual feedback IF that parameter is effectively in use. Somebody proposed that the title of modulators would turn blue when they are in use. That would be one way to give visual feedback (yes, I know these are currently static as part of the backgroundimage).

Pigments has the best system imo and allows for both setting and monitoring from modulator to target(s) and from target to modulator(s).

Anyways, I guess you could draw some inspiration from these examples.

Thanks Howard, I appreciate it...

Just came to report some things I've noticed.

Today I see some kind of graphic glitch when showing the Hive 2 window after being hidden: the waveform/filter and shape sequencer view windows take like a second to show. Nothing really important though.

Also, today when I was playing some presets from the Science 2 soundset, Hive 2 glitched (click, red output, silence on master track) when switching presets. But I can't reproduce it consistently just yet.

And since release, Live 10.1 has frozen and crashed a few times when using Hive 2.

Just to let you u-he guys know that something weird may be happening (at least on my setup: MBP, Mojave, Live 10.1, Hive 2 VST2).

That part is a known issue with U-he GUIs. Especially if seeing white squares. It's been discussed a bit recently in the various threads

did youknow more about a fix cause in VEP when you move from instance to others there is a "white flash" with every Uhe plugin (that I have) ?

Yes, as explained here: viewtopic.php?p=7420006#p7420006
It's a compromise we have to live with at the moment.

Thanks for mentioning it.
Unfortunately, a lot of the Live 10 releases seem to introduce problems with our plugins.
We are constantly working together with Ableton, so they can fix those issues when they arise.
We'll have to investigate if there is yet another new problem arising in Live 10.1.
If you have a crash report from those crashes, please send them to Ableton, and maybe also to our support, so we can have a look.

I love this...and everything else about Hive 2. Knocked it out of the park guys. Well done and not surprised. U-he is my best investment!
