![]() ![]() There are a few other areas where Hive makes marked improvements over its inspiration, including a resizable interface, parameter locking for making individual controls immune to preset changes categorised preset folders a dedicated vibrato LFO unipolar LFO mode and LFO phase control the ability to record transposition, velocity and MIDI CC values into the Sequencer undo and redo buttons saving and loading of Effects setups and, last but not least, a choice of three "synth engines": Normal, Dirty, and Clean. ![]() Rather cleverly, the two sides can be connected: with the Link button active, adjustments to the left-hand parameters also affect the right-hand equivalents, with the offset between them maintained. ![]() Hive's parameters are arranged on either side of the central hexagon, with Oscillator, Filter, LFO, and Amp and Mod envelopes 1 on the left, and their "2" siblings on the right. Lowpass 12, Lowpass 24, Bandpass, Highpass, Bandreject and Peaking modes are available to both filters, which (in certain synth engine modes, which we'll come back to) can self- oscillate, adding to the instrument's already considerable creative potential. The filter section also offers a few improvements over Sylenth1's, including slightly more sophisticated routing: each oscillator and sub oscillator can be routed to one or both of the filters, and Filter 1 can be routed into Filter 2. This keeps the phase relationship (and, therefore, the beating) between oscillators continuous, although the difference between Flow and Random mode is subtle.Īlso unlike Sylenth1, Hive offers pulse width modulation, though as with a few of the synth's other settings, it doesn't have its own knob, being accessible only via the modulation matrix. Like Sylenth1, Hive's oscillators feature Random (free) and Reset (synced) phase modes but they also add Flow mode, under which the phase of each note picks up where the previous one left off. The sub oscillators have their own volume controls and can be transposed up to +/-24 semitones. If you produce trance music and own Hive you will WANT to grab this fantastic sound-bank.The oscillators offer a choice of nine wave types - Sine, Saw, Triangle, Pulse, Square, Half pulse, Narrow pulse, White noise and Pink noise - and each is accompanied by a sub oscillator that can be set to any of the same shapes. Each patch of the new Elevation Hive bank is 'usable' and the quality is very high and expertly showcases what the awesome Hive virtual instrument synthesizer is capable of. "For me there is only handful of sound designers out there that always deliver high quality trance production presets that ignite inspiration in the studio and Aiyn Zahev is certainly one those. Check it out folks." - The Thrillseekers (Adjusted music) The e ff ect section is used judiciously, subtle to extreme distortion, small EQ adjustments help the sounds stand out in a mix & delay and reverb set to match the mood and common usage of each style of sound.Īlso included are individual midi files from the audio demo, royalty free. For producers engaged in 138 or Progressive trance, EDM or even ambient electronic music, there is a lot this bank has to offer, whether as a spring board for your own sound design, or finished sounds right out of the box. Most bass sequences are programmed in octaves so as to be usable in any key. HIVE’s fat, analog-like oscillators are put to use to provide your track with 27 foundational bass sounds, 17 of which feature a programmed sequences. The bank also has several lush, dense pad sounds. The supersaw stacks are used for those massive anthemic leads, for the all important "breakdown”. The fast envelopes allow for snappy, crisp plucks. The bank takes advantage of HIVE’s three distinct filter models to deliver squelchy resonant & screaming acid sequences. ![]()
