I guess it's synth month because U-HE is finishing the new Hive synth

[VisionHD]

I would never program a synth which does not sound as good as my previous synths, no matter cost...

[e-modic]

What filter you wanted to be emulated in Hive?

Syrinx, 4Voice...

[Numanoid]

you started a good thing with Diva I had hopes you would take the realistic Filter design to a next level with Hive. If not you, who else would?

Isn't Diva filters already more or less 100% realistic

The next level after going beyond realistic would then be unrealistic filters

It will (does) sound great. Just wait. Don't hate.

Won't do it again.

No Hive for YOU!!!

Hehe! Yep, i really screwed up this time!

[xalama qo]

Apologies Urs, I must've hacked into a place I shouldn't have been...quite innocently, I must add.
I assumed there must be more soundclips around, so I looked for them.

Won't do it again.

On the topic though, is there going to be a specific 303 type filter? Or just the usual 12/24db approximations in the presets? Just wondering, and hopefully not opening a can of worms.

This is a very simple 24 dB Moog-ladder-type filter. Just like the one in the other synth, but here definitely without delay in the feedback path. It's all about how much one can nudge the resonance beyond self oscillation.

Erm, yeah... what he said.
I'll let you just get on and do what you gotta do before I get into more trouble!

Regarding different sound... We have three basic waveforms... They will always sound the same.

Uh oh. Somebody done stepped in synth doo-doo.

LOL

[Kriminal]

just to keep the rumuor ball rolling, and the pressure on Urs... im guessing its all being on one page so it can be made into an Re too...

Stop sidetracking Urs with all this speculations or we might end up getting it in 2020

Did you read this?

We're pulling out all the stops to make a CPU efficient counterpart to Diva

Don't know why people always want that analog filter stuff. Some of the best synth sounds do not sound like analog synths at all. At the end of the day what matters is that a synths sounds good and pleasant, and if it can be used by people with AMD computers as well for a change, even better

[Urs]

Hive isn't going to be an analogue emulation. There's no need to meticulously model any filter circuit, or anything else.

I think the best filter we ever did was the Bazille one. And that's not an analogue model either.

Urs: An estimate Public Beta date release ?

Definitely trying December.

We're taken by surprise about initial reactions to Presswerk, so there'll be a lot of reorganizing and a bit of a reboot. That takes away resources for Hive's UI and stuff. Otherwise Hive is on a good way. I'm cleaning up things every day, and preparing the final feature set. I hope to be finished with the technical side next week, then another one or two weeks for UI and fine tuning. It's an optimistic guess though

[MillerSam]

A GUI picture will be nice
