Hive unison feature request / sound design question

[Hanz Meyzer]

Hi,

I really like the unison in Hive, sounds actually "very analogue" to my ears. But with the usual unison there comes a problem especially in the bass area: Sometimes the waveforms sum up in the bass area. What sounds really nice in the mids and highs, might be problematic for a bass.

So my usual (maybe not proper) approach here is to use dynamical eqing or multiband compression. But I only get a really constant result only with spectral processing.

Here is an example. First you hear the original unprocessed Hive sound. Then spectral processing is added, removing those bass bumps sometimes. Then both are repeated, this time with a lowpass filter, so you better can hear this summing up:

Couldn't this kind of problem best solved within the synthesis already? I would imagine a "highpass unison parameter" which highpasses the unisoned signal and then adds a non unisoned but same waveform to the lowpass area. With the current limitation in filters, routing and so on, it's not really doable in hive. Or then you would loose all the rest filters.

The sub osc could do the low part job, the unison osc the highpass job. Both oscs then could be perfectly "synced" at the frequency split. All with a single additional "unison highpass" knob.

What do you think about this idea? Or do you have a post processing tip for me? Surely the usual wavetable guy's approach would be to put a sine on the low, and then highpass the unison. But I think this is not the same, also it again requires two filter slots already, and none is left for comb filter then or so.

Did you try different unison modes? Sounds like "flow" might be a good one to try.
