One of the most unusual features of HIVE is the switchable audio engine, with three modes each offering subtly different sounds.В The differences between the three modes are quite technical.В Normal mode offers вЂњexponential oscillator detune, s-shaped envelope attack, short decay, oversampledВ self-oscillating вЂladderвЂ™ filter model with non-linear resonanceвЂќ,В Dirty mode uses вЂњevenly-spaced oscillator detune, exponential envelope stages oversampledВ self-oscillating вЂdiode ringвЂ™ filterвЂќ, while Clean mode employs вЂњslightly wider oscillator detune, linear envelope attack, exponential decayВ and release, linear (non-distorting) вЂstate variableвЂ™ filters, no oversamplingвЂќ.

ThatвЂ™s particularly useful for setting up things like basic oscillator combinations and commonly used modulation routings (filter cutoff assigned to the mod wheel, PWM via an LFO, and so on).В The presets for each of the sections are relatively simple, but the library of presets for the synth as a whole is extensive (160+ bass patches, 130+ pads and strings, 140+ chord patchesвЂ¦), covering most of the staplesВ for dance production plus plenty more advanced sounds. Each of the oscillators and filters has its own solo button, allowing you to focus in on exactly what itвЂ™s contributing to the overall patch.В You can also store and recall presets independently for each of the oscillator, filter, LFO, envelope and modulation routing sections. The user interfaceВ prioritises ease of use above all else, with intuitive signal routing and a simple modulation matrix linking everything together.В U-heвЂ™s trademark user-friendly touches are scattered throughout the synth, such as the fact there are ten undo/redo levels when editing sounds (including preset changes), whileВ right-clicking the controls for individual parameters also allows you to lock them when changing presets. The filters sound great and the oscillators are surprisingly versatile.В The sub-oscillators can be tuned up or down by two octaves, which in practice means that you can use them as additional oscillators. ItвЂ™s a simple setup, but one thatвЂ™s hugely effective. The outputs from both oscillators and sub-oscillators can be fed into either of the two filters or both simultaneously (individual volume controls are found in the oscillator section), while the output of Filter 1 can also be fed into Filter 2.

Audio signal routing is handled via buttons alongside the two filters. The dual filters are a little more advanced, each offeringВ eight modes (all resonant), plus input gain for overdriven effects, key tracking, and modulation from four sources: the synthвЂ™s two LFOs and two modulation envelopes.

ThereвЂ™s no dedicated noise source, but either of the oscillators or their respective sub-oscillators can generate white or pink noise. The synth architecture of HIVE is a traditional two-oscillator subtractive setup, with each oscillator offering the usual analogue-inspired waves, unison/detune options, plus a sub-oscillator.

HIVE has been developed over the course ofВ an extensive beta testing period, lasting over a year.В The result is a relatively straightforward synth by U-heвЂ™s normal standards, designed to be user-friendly and easy on processing powerВ without sacrificingВ the kind of sound quality the companyвЂ™s products have become known for. U-heвЂ™s Urs Heckman explains that HIVE вЂњstarted off as a bit of weekend fun exploring supersawsвЂќ, but snowballed into a permanentВ addition to the product range. In the case of the companyвЂ™s newest synth, HIVE, the USP can be summed up in a simple word: simplicity. One of the strengths of U-heвЂ™s plugin range isВ the way that each synth has a clearly defined speciality.В With DIVA, you get an instrument designed to createВ vintage analogue sounds with ACE, versatile modular synthesis with Bazille, CPU-melting digital modular power. U-he follow their fiendishly complex Bazille synth with a much more straightforward plugin.
