EDIT: Uploaded a new fixed version (had to lower bd and hi hat volume) and replaced links. Please comment again :hihi: Sorry :clown: Also nu text here.

Hey,

tried to compose something enjoyable, but somehow failed this time. I decided to stop the work on my osc71 contribution and publish it in the current state now, since I have no more time for this.

It's a very silly track and nothing sophisticated. But it was fun and I hope at least someone will enjoy it :) If someone wants the presets, let me know!

DAW: Renoise 3
Dynamic range: 11
Hive instances: 30

Renoise fx: 43 x filter, 7 x EQ 5, 2 x Reverb (on drums), 15 x Compressor, 2 x Multitap delay, 1 x delay, 2 x stereo spread (for reducing stereo)

3rd party freeware: 7 x Yohng's W1 Limiter, 1 x A1 Stereo Control (on master for mono bass), 1 x SSS C3 Multiband Compressor, 1 x Flux Bitter Sweet Shaper

Regarding my experiences with Hive: A quite interesting and complete synth. Sounds very rich and reminds me of Refx Vanguard when it comes to sound (of course more hq). I realized that the sound from live to hifi render mode seems to be quite different (maybe it's caused by Renoise), reverb isn't so bright anymore and but more smooth. Also the high frequencies sound different.

What I am still missing in Hive is: osc sync and osc ring mod, a master hp filter, more pwm options like range, reverb density, distortion as pre-filter, two ore legato modes (legato only on f-env, legato only on a-env), env curve options (logarithmic to exp etc). Also the sound sometimes is a little bit like plastic to my ears, at least in live mode. Don't know, maybe a question of taste. Or I did use the wrong synth engine.

Get rid of the "www.", probably.

Edit: I tried a bunch of times and that link just flat out doesn't work to get the player. No idea why, sorry.

Hi all,

Not sure if it's wise to upgrade just yet, but we've extended the expiration date by another two months, and we added a selection of preview factory presets:
