Sounds good to me!
I've been using Linux build 7015 and it's been very reliable.

Call it 'tough love' :D
No worries! The new features will be well thought out. They'll add fun, not obstacles. Which of course we'll need to try before we announce.

But they only have just over two weeks of time, so we can't possibly reach the amount of factory presets we think Hive's wavetable engine deserves, this year. We wish to give them more time and a few more features for what we think is justified.

I just really hope that current UHMs will work in that future Hive 2.0 version :)

By minor fixes i mean the stuff that is after Wavetable and browser (whom are quite major improvements) :)

Was really looking forward to seeing Hive in my Komplete Kontrol Factory list, but hey it’s not the end of the world, and TBH I've never really liked the current GUI. Happy that you build the synth you want, which is why I keep buying u-he, just remember to make a profit guys, I want you to stay in business... :tu:
Will wait till next year, and thanks for asking.

Yes, we want NKS too :-)

The whole thing about adding XY/Macro controls is about making NKS and similar controllers more useful for synths like Hive. It will allow parameters from both filters and all envelopes/osc/modulation be mapped to individual performance knobs, e.g. control both cutoff params with one knob. But this also means that every preset needs to be set up with it. Hence we added an automatic assignment algorithm, but it still needs human verification & fine tuning. Which, with thousands of presets, is quite a bit of work.

You are quite mad but thank you for it :)

Sounds good to me! I actually like Hive's original GUI, so I wasn't waiting in the wings for that anyway. I'm just happy as a clown to have all these wonderful new wavetables to play with! :D

What new additions would the Hive version two have beyond the 1.2 version scripting and wavetable thing? Would it then incorporate hard sync and fm and formant filters?

Post

And four full spec oscillators?

And will it come with an escape pod?
