Hive 2, created by u-he, is a flexible software synthesizer aimed at producing exceptional sound quality while maintaining an efficient workflow. It boasts two oscillators that can create traditional waveforms or 2D wavetables, each able to utilize up to 16x unison and adjustable sub-oscillators. The synthesizer provides three unique sound engines—normal, dirty, and clean—enabling users to customize the tonal character of their audio. Additionally, Hive 2 features an intuitive drag-and-drop modulation assignment system, a modulation matrix with 12 slots that includes modifiers, and four customizable XY control pads for interactive sound shaping. Other noteworthy attributes include an arpeggiator, a step sequencer with real-time recording capabilities, a distinctive 8-step shape sequencer that offers four independent outputs, and a selection of seven effects that can be rearranged, such as distortion, chorus, delay, phaser, EQ, reverb, and compressor. The user interface is adjustable from 70% to 200% in size and comes with an alternative Izmo skin for aesthetic variety. Furthermore, Hive 2 includes more than 2,400 factory presets that are ready for NKS integration, making it a powerful tool for music production. This combination of features makes Hive 2 an attractive option for both novice and professional sound designers alike.
