This is where Hive belongs - under flashing lights in a packed club on a Friday night. Whether it’s techno, house, trance, electro, drum & bass or dubstep, Hive's feature set and attitude are aimed squarely at the dance floor.

While all of u-he previous synths found homes working in the world of dance music production, Hive was created specifically with dance music producers in mind. The single page streamlined interface is packed with features and options to help you get your sound just right (or wrong in just the right way). Best of all, Hive uses very little CPU."

Features preview:

Very low CPU usage
switch Hive’s engine to different basic characters, on the fly
(buzzword translation would be: Multi Synth Engine Technology™)
1 to 16x unison for each of the 4 oscillators for “super” sounds
2 main oscillators, 2 sub-oscillators
2 multimode filters
Step sequencer & arpeggiator
12 slot modulation matrix with 2 targets per slot, 4 envelopes (ADSR), 2 LFOs
7 built in effects
Single screen interface

I'm trying to get hold of a beta when it's available so I can do some factory content.

I want to get to work on some phaser supersaw pads. I'm hoping it can pull off some like the Korg Radias can do. If not it's no big deal I can already do some good enough with DIVA's supersaw.

Urs is extending the coupon code to cover HIVE. Do the u-he survey if you want it. Sounds like it will be released as a beta with some waveforms missing.

Hmmmm....At that price, do you think this is a good purchase?

Wait, I'm confused. Is Hive synleth2? If so, why did they release the Beta, the same day as they finally made syntleth1 64bit!

Hive is a U-He product not a Lennar Digital one, it's just based very, very heavily on the Sylenth layout and feature set.

Fired up the beta today and made a very short straight up trance demo.

It's unfinished but good enough for me. It's designed for the same crowd as Sylenth1 but has its own tone and features.
The beta is free to use until the beta serial runs out.

Hive is made by u-he, Lennar Digital made Sylenth1.

Hive is what Urs says is made for the type of people that would buy Sylenth1 but it is not a emulation of it just similar workflow and for the EDM crowd.

It's an intro price it will go up some time after Hive is finished. Urs said he might make Hive go up to 32 or 64 unison. It's made by u-he so has u-he sound quality.

I still need to try this out, does it have any good texture presets?
