Hive 2-main GUI

Demos:

Description:

Directly upgradeable from and backwards-compatible with U-he's Hive, Hive 2 builds on the same structure of its older sibling, with some interesting additions. Below are a list of just some of the new features.

Hive 2 has a new GUI, and now includes wavetables as sound sources. The central hexagon area is used to select and modulate these wavetables. The wavetables can also be broken in up to 16 parts for crossfading, etc. A .uhm proprietary format now allows users to create their own wavetable scripts, if desired, for even more intricate sound structures. A Scope module provides visual display of the audio signal, with zoom and freeze features. There are new modulators, such as the 8-step Shape Sequencer and two Function Generators. Quantization options applicable to scales and chords allow for interesting pitch automation.

The linux tarball package provided at the U-he website (see link below) includes an updated manual with lots of useful tips and tricks for getting the most out of this new version of Hive.
