U-he Hive Review
U-he makes creative software synthesizers and effects. Bazille update, The Bazille Cookbook, Objects for Hive 2. December 11, 2020. U-he follow their fiendishly complex Bazille synth with a much more straightforward plugin. Greg Scarth puts HIVE to the test. Winning eleven 7 full version for pc. One of the strengths of U-he’s plugin range is the way that each synth has a clearly defined speciality. With DIVA, you get an instrument designed to create vintage analogue sounds; with ACE, versatile.
U-he Hive
U-he Hive v 2-0-0-8676 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). Of course you can create your own XY control definitions, with up to 4 targets per dimension. Aug 12, 2021 u-he Hive v2.1.1.12092 WIN. Hive: lightweight synth, heavyweight sound. Sleek, streamlined and super fast. Hive was built for speed. An effortless workflow, low cpu use and a single page interface means you can build your tracks in no time. Being ‘fast and simple’ does not mean sacrificing sound quality or creative control.
