U-He has introduced a new synth, Hive, that will be released June 2, 2015.
According to U-He, Hive was made to be fast and simple, but to offer enough power ‘to deliver stunning sounds’.
Here’s a video sneak preview:
Features:
- Very low CPU usage
- Switchable audio characteristics (normal, dirty, clean)
- 2 main oscillators, 2 sub-oscillators
- Up to 16x unison for each of the 4 oscillators for “super” sounds
- 2 multimode filters
- Step sequencer and arpeggiator
- 12 slot modulation matrix with 2 targets per slot, 4 envelopes (ADSR), 2 LFOs
- 7 built in effects
- Single screen interface
Hive is available for pre-order for US $99, normally $149. See the U-He site for more info.
I have to say I think they did such a phenomenal job on Hive. I bought it a while back during early beta stages and right from the start I couldnt get over how great it sounds but still be gentle on the cpu. Urs is a goddamn necromancer.
I already have Diva and love it. Not sure if this is intended to be a scaled down version of Diva or a completely different sounding synth.
This synth does not have “analog-like” design under the hood, it is completely digital, like Sylenth. Therefore it might sound different from other U-he products.
Thanks for the reply
I like the layout, I would like this to be a rack extension for reason.
The two independent amp envelopes are cool!
I would like to take this opportunity to ask for a quadraphonic mode in Bazille.
Some of the presets knocked my newbie socks off. Man this smashes my Komplete 9 ultimate sounds. Looks way more (and is) more fun than Diva. The sounds are incredible and as one forum member had claimed “Urs is a Necromancer”. Phenomenal sounds and a real bargain for 99 usd. A whole new dark blue World.
