Another Hive wavetable...

EDIT: Switched wavetables and slowed down the LFO speed

Sounds amazing! Nice work!

Thanks... The wavetable capability adds so much to Hive! And it is easy to work with. The interpolation sounds very good!

Hehe 'HiveWT5' is very trippy.

That last one sounds like some ultra-expensive hardware synth. Pretty impressive sound morphing.

It is pretty trippy huh

I just created a simple wavetable in Icarus, exported it and imported it into Hive. Works fine...

Now I'm curious about WaveMapper 2...

I am kind of wondering how Hive is going to maintain brand separation from Zebra. There has to be something Hive does that Zebra can not. Otherwise, what's the point of its existence?

It's lower CPU usage, different sounding unisons, it's a much more fixed architecture.

and a fast (mostly) single window GUI

...and $50 cheaper (which may get even wider when Z3 is eventually released).

Some people just want something fast and efficient and don't want be bothered with complex synths with modular architectures.

Could you explain this a bit please?

Maybe I can help. It uses less CPU. You can run more of them. The unison, or stacked oscillator features are designed and sound differently. Zebra is pretty much a modular synthesizer. That means you can add or remove as many oscillators/filters/LFO's/Envelopes/etc as you need and your doing some work to connect them how you'd like. It's very flexible, but can be complex. Hive has a fixed number of pre-wired modules, which is what's meant by fixed architecture (i.e. not modular). Hive will be easier to use for this reason.

Cool. Thanks. What's the main different with the unison engine?

Just the detuning ratios are different, and pan spread is probably calculated differently.
