{"product_id":"u-he-hive-modular-synth-electronic-delivery","title":"u-he Hive Modular Synth - Electronic Delivery","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith its effortless workflow and low processor usage, you can create your patches in next to no time at all. \u003cstrong\u003eu-he Hive Modular Synth\u003c\/strong\u003e is quick and uncomplicated, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing flexibility, sound quality, or creativity. It's packed with features and controls – with a dazzling character that delivers stunning sound.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHive version 1.2 Hive includes Wavetables! These appear as oscillator waveforms, and are controlled in the central hexagon. You can manually select wavetables, modulate the position via the modulation matrix, or even scan them automatically using various envelope and loop options, which let you animate wavetables without requiring an extra modulation source.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMore features include a Reverse option to flip the wavetable back to front, Cyclic mode for seamless wavetable cycling, and different real-time interpolation methods.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eMulti-Table\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis feature splits the wavetable from between 2 and 16 parts. For instance, a wavetable with 30 frames can be split into 3 wavetables with 10 frames each - by setting the number of Tables to 3. The Multi Position knob scans those set tables. This opens up a second dimension of wavetable scanning, such as velocity crossfades or multisample support.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eOptional scripting\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWant to go even more in-depth? Wavetables in Hive are also available as .uhm files. These files contain scripts made with a proprietary wavetable generation and manipulation language. Getting started is easy and fun.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eInterpolation\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen using Wavetables, Hive provides 4 different algorithms for interpolating between frames: switch, crossfade, spectral, and zero phase. The appearance (and CPU usage) of waveforms can differ significantly, depending on the interpolation. The spectral and zero phase modes shift the relative phases of partials differently. The switch option only shows non-interpolated waveforms.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eArpeggiator and Sequencer\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHive's hexagon includes an ARP\/SEQ area in which you can sculpt your complex and rhythmic loops.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHive's arpeggiator features 4 octaves to select from, 6 different directions, and 4 options for the order. Additional features are Restart, which lets you set the number of notes the arpeggiator will play before jumping back to the beginning, and Frame, which limits the the length while driving the sequencer from the arpeggiator.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe sequencer features 3 different modes: Modulator, which doesn't trigger notes, but only CC values and Gate. Select Play, to trigger notes. Like the arpeggiator, the sequence will run whenever notes are being played and will stop when all notes are released. The last mode is Record, this lets you record sequences manually or through the arpeggiator.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFlexible Effects\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHive's hexagon includes 7 different effects: Distortion, Reverb, Equalizer, Chorus, Delay, Compressor, and Phaser.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEach effect state and position in the chain is easily controllable from the center of the hexagon. Click on one to enable or disable it, and order them to your liking: Like in other u-he plugins, effects in Hive are rearrangeable through drag and drop! This allows you to sculpt your sound even more through many experimental combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEffects in Hive are fully-featured with many editable controls, a selection of presets, and the well known u-he quality. Want more? All controls are also modulatable thorugh the modulation matrix!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eModulation Matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHive features a 2-page, 12-slot (6 per page) modulation matrix which allows you to connect modulation sources (LFOs, MIDI controls, envelopes, etc.) to more than 80 targets. Each modulator can be turned on or off, and lets you select 2 different targets, each with its own modulation depth control. The assignment is made easy with drag and drop. Preset support is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eNew in 1.2: Performance controls\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVersion 1.2 introduces another new tab in Hive's hexagon: XY. In this page, you'll find a pad with 4 controls – simply connect them to your MIDI controllers for maximum fun on stage!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHive is able to assign XY controls to parameters automatically. It looks into the structure of presets that have unused XY controls, and assigns them to the most appropriate XY macros (pre-defined sets of parameters).\u003c\/p\u003e     \u003ch3\u003eSystem Requirements:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMac OS X 10.7 or newer, Windows 7 or newer, or Linux\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1GB RAM, more recommended\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e50MB free disk space\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1000 × 600 or larger display\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModern CPU (Sandy Bridge or newer recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHost software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003cp\u003eHive is not a standalone product, it requires host software.
