Description

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.

Description

AudioKit's King of Digital is a remarkable 64-voice hybrid synthesizer that merges virtual analog with PCM synthesis, featuring an impressive library of more than 900 meticulously crafted presets and over 3 gigabytes of original samples derived from analog and FM synthesizers that date back over three decades. This synthesizer is designed with flexibility in mind, making it perfect for producing lush pads, retrowave, digital keys, vaporwave, synthwave, and a variety of other genres. Among its standout features are dual layers for each voice, the ability to split the keyboard, an engaging step sequencer, three LFOs that can modulate one another, and per-voice harmonic key-tracked envelope filters. Notably, it utilizes innovative compression technology that reduces all sounds and expansions to a compact size of just 450 MB, optimizing device storage effectively. King of Digital is fully compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iOS AUv3 plug-ins, and it accommodates MIDI input from numerous sources, including customizable on-screen keyboards, USB and Bluetooth MIDI controllers, as well as networked MIDI sources. Moreover, its user-friendly interface invites both beginners and experienced musicians to explore its vast sonic capabilities.
