Perhaps the thread title needs changing from "finishing"

Well, the main work is done (DSP). Now it's details, like "do we need width and pan for everything?"

What "hive" stands for? It's an acronym, right? Something like "hyper smth virtual smth"?

Do we have any clues as to the nature of this new synth?

Hm. VA? Unlikely. Why create something that competes with what's already thought of as the gold standard of VAs?

Wavetable? Zebra covers that and hopefully will even get better in v3.

FM, see Zebra.

ROMpler? Possibly, but for some reason I don't see it.

Additive/resynthesis? Hm, I bet if U-He took what they learned emulating hardware in Diva but used a novel additive/resynthesis engine... we'd have something quite magical.

Urs? Can you throw us a bone?

There's been plenty of talk about it for a while at the u-he forum. It's a supersaw focused synth. Straight forward architecture, a couple oscillators with sub orcs, 2 filters. You can even see an old gui in one of the threads there.

Read the several threads.

In Hive you have a Dual-VCO-VCF-VCA.....

Tho a supersaw is dco, not vco.... its a basic subtractive synth

Supersaw doesn't have to be a DCO, as using unison on a Jupiter-8 or Andromeda A6 or an OBX can yield similar results. 32 detuned VCOs playing at once on Andromeda... that is quite something, really.

Similar, but thats unison. 2 diff things.

I wonder if it's based on the jp8000 module in Diva? Maybe you can make the same sound with Diva, or maybe not

What's the point then? I hope it's not based on the same stuff.

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