Exactly what I was thinking (Include a "placebo mode" or, rather, an "UberMode" or "UUS" - UberUpSample", that does nothing but munching CPU cycles). it would keep people happy and satisfied...Urs wrote:Hahaha, I'd love thatSendy wrote:Include a "placebo mode" which increases the CPU load by a tiny amount but does nothing.

Hive quality mode.

Professional technicians are assessed by the abilities they possess.
Amateur technicians are assessed by the tools they possess - and the amount of those tools, with an obvious preference to the latest hyped ones.

And call that placebo mode "chilly7".

Thank u for the explanation! Now i see where i was wrong!TBAAV wrote:It is true.chilly7 wrote:Hopefully it is true!!!
You assume that the lack of a "HQ setting" means that it's not running in some sort of HQ mode. For Hive the only mode there is, is HQ.
You're asking for a change that will change nothing at all, as people are pointing out. The way Hive works, is to, to put it very simply, create supersaws with very low CPU usage. Overall the point of it is to be very CPU friendly but still create massive sound. And it does just that - and it doesn't need to do anything else (that was never the point of it). If you're not looking for something else, then Hive is not the synth you want, because at the core of it, that's what it is and will always be: A CPU friendly EDM synth with stellar sound and u-he quality dusted all over it.
If you have a specific complaint, then point out what it is and I'm sure Urs and the gang will listen, but right now you're asking for something because you seem to not quite have understood what's going on with the synth.
It sort of reminds me of people asking for 64-bit versions of things, because they assume it will magically make things better, never understanding what making a program 64-bit actually means (what the advantage is). Most plug-ins today don't need to be 64-bit either, they just are because the DAW's are (which makes sense).

As far as I understood, DIVA can benefit from something like a "Devine" mode, because of its unique approach to filters (those 0df filters with natural distortions).
Those filters are complicated and need a lot of CPU power to function to their full potential.
The modes below "devine" were included to save CPU power (and in some cases, the difference between devine and great seems barely audible).
I don't think, HIVE uses the same kind of filters.
My guess is, the HIVE filters already do exactly, what they are supposed to do (while not eating up a lot of CPU power).
So having modes like in DIVA would not really make sense here.

Come to my web site, i write there in Divine mode but unfortionaly maby ur intellegence can not handl it.hakey wrote:chilly, could you check your quality setting - your comments appear to be in draft mode.
It would be good if i am mistaken in this case!
P.s. Awry body can improve it's own intelligence!!!

Hive compromises in feature set.
I haven't done a synth that compromises in sound quality.
