non-distorting state variable filter model. Also try Input Gain values below 0.00 dB. Turn up the resonance for interesting, unpredictable results. DIRTY Oversampled self-oscillating diode ring filter model.

NORMAL Oversampled self-oscillating ladder filter model with non-linear resonance, listen to the tonal difference when you crank up the Input Gain.

Moving on to the next row, we find where the filters are situated. U-He filters are always top notch and this time it’s no different. Filtertypes are: bypass, lowpass 24, lowpass 2, bandpass, highpass, band reject and peaking. Also, the difference between the 3 engine settings becomes far more noticeable in the filter section.

Flow The phase of a note picks up where the previous one left off, so the phase relationship (and therefore any beating) between oscillators is continuous.

Random Phase is set to a random value whenever a note is played.

Reset Phase is fixed at 0∞ ó where the wave crosses zero in the positive direction. Use this mode whenever you need robotically consistent attacks.

There’s also pan, width, detune, vibrato and volume and the forementioned sub osc, where you can dial in semitone and volume. Several waveforms can be chosen as a sub osc or you can choose like osc to get the same osc setting as the main osc. Lastly there is a phase setting that (in tandem with your unison setting) can create different results. It’s a surefire way to get some results, lightning fast.Įach osc has enough waveforms to choose from and unison is on board going up to 16-voices per osc along with octave -2 to +2 and semitone -12 to +12.

A feature that is copied throughout the synth and that forms great starting points for your own preset design. CLEAN Slightly wider oscillator detune, linear envelope attack, exponential decay and release, linear (non-distorting) ëstate variableí filters, no oversampling.Įxperimentation is key with these 3 modes, definitely a cool addition to this synth.Īlso worth mentioning is that oscillator section has a small down arrow symbol in the menu, if you click on that, a list of presets is opened.DIRTY Evenly-spaced oscillator detune, exponential envelope stages, oversampled self-oscillating ëdiode ringí filter.NORMAL Exponential oscillator detune, s-shaped envelope attack, short decay, oversampled self-oscillating ëladderí filter model with non-linear resonance.Here’s a little explaination of the 3 different modes: It even affects the way the filters behave. There are 2 main oscillators that also have a sub osc and in the middle are the different engine modes that HIVE has. The engine modes are a cool little feature where you can alter the caracter of each sound slightly through altering the engine mode that suits your sound the best. The next row on the UI is where the oscillators are situated. There’s also preset selection (in good U-He tradition, Hive is chockful of good presets), the save menu, undo, redo, output and at the far right a cog wheel (click on it and you get to the MIDI controller and preferences menu.) In the preferences menu you can alter things like the default skin, UI size, text anti aliasing (for better readability) and more. Here we have a new product from U-He that was released a while ago, is their new synth called HIVE. U-He is known for their very elaborate synths like Zebra, Diva etc., but HIVE walks a different path. This is a synth that is both low on CPU and very easy to work with. The user interface is divided into 2 equal halves and in the centre of it is a hexagon, that looks like beehive, hence the name HIVE. The filosophy behind the symmetrical setup it is that you can easily layer two voices in a simple way for quick results.Īt the top of the User Interface is the control bar. This is where you can select several voice modes (poly, mono, legato & duo), along with transpose and fine tune.
