Hi everyone,

we are on the home stretch, the Hive 2.1 update is soon to be released.
As always, we are posting the release candidate here, so you can get your hands on it (and the new presets it includes) a few days early.

Update: RC2 11037 fixes a crash when using the "remove modulation" feature.

Downloads (updated to 11037):

Hive 2.1 RC2 11037 Mac
Hive 2.1 RC2 11037 Win
Hive 2.1 RC2 11037 Linux

Some more bugs have been smashed, some more details improved, and the Izmo skin got a few more refinements as well.

Also included are 100 fresh presets, many of them impressively demonstrating the new features.

Let us know if you find any last minute showstoppers, else the planned release will be some time next week.

Changes since Hive 2.0.1, revision 9709:

* New XY auto-assign preference
* Scale Quantizer menu with 15 predefined scales
* Scale Quantizer is lockable now
* Soundset installer support
* Browser: Bank name feature added
* Browser: Alternative search method using wildcards
* Browser: Reveal in Finder/Explorer behaviour improved
* Improved module preset saving (Mac only)
* Improved GUI performance (Mac only)
* Many small GUI adjustments

Bug Fixes:

* Fixed: Notes starting on same time stamp but different MIDI channel might not play
* Fixed: Mod assigner arc was twice as long as it should be for bipolar targets
* Fixed: Issue when using MIDI sources as input source for FG in Follow mode
* Fixed: Stuck notes when playing notes while plugin bypassed in Cubase
* Fixed: Wavetable names didn't have full UTF8 support (Windows only)
* Fixed: Random modulation source nonfunctional on effect parameters
* Fixed: Shape sequencer one by one mode start position inconsistent
* Fixed: Sequencer Mod CCs were only working on MIDI channel 1
* Fixed: Rare DC issue (level overshooting or sound cutting out)
* Fixed: Sub osc could produce aliasing under certain conditions
* Fixed: Rare crash when loading a preset that uses a wavetable
* Fixed: "Wavetable missing" dialog not working for .wav files
* Fixed: Numerous fixes and improvements in preset browser
* Fixed: Clock modulation acting erratic in FL Studio
* Fixed: VST3 arp/sequencer issue in Tracktion & Mixcraft
* Fixed: Multiple inconsistencies in LFO envelope triggering
* Fixed: LFO could cause false envelope triggers
* Fixed: Hold pedal could sustain wrong voice
* Fixed: XY auto-assign quirks

Known Issues:

* AAX support on Mac removed temporarily (will come back in Hive 2.1.1)
* Old presets might display wrong sources in scope

Cheers,
Tas

How can i add Bank name?

tasmaniandevil · Post by **tasmaniandevil** » Thu Mar 04, 2021 3:36 pm

It's both explained in the excellent manual on page thirteen.
The author is first set when you save a preset.
You can then also drag presets onto the author smart folder to add the author to multiple presets at once.
You create a new bank by dragging presets onto the main Bank Name smart folder.
Then you can enter a name for the bank.
Afterwards you can drag presets onto the existing bank to add the bank name to those.

Looking forward to using those new filters!

This is pretty minor, but I mentioned it in the prior thread and it's still in the RC version. The "Assign Recent" shows repeat entries. I believe it makes more sense to show the last few recent unique parameters touched since there's no value in having repeats here.

Not worthy of holding up a release, but something worth fixing at some point.

Thank you! omg this is the best preset browser ever! not over complicated and yet very simple to use

Manual has not been updated? cannot find the info about how to create a new bank ? when i try to do that "create new" greyed out.

EDIT:

nevermind it seems dragging presets will let you to create a new one

Another question, where is wavetable location on MAC OS? cant find in the manual and i dont have mac now.

It's already noted, but not very high on the priority list right now.

From the manual on page 13:

You can even create your own custom banks: Drag & drop one or more presets onto the ‘Bank’ folder then enter a suitable bank name into the dialogue box.

To access the correct manual, click on the u-he logo in the plugin, and choose User Guide.

Totally understandable. Just wanted to make sure it didn't get lost in the sauce. Thanks!
