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.

Synthesizers play a crucial role in nearly every genre of contemporary music, necessitating a tool that is both adaptable and innovative. ZENOLOGY represents almost five decades of synthesizer innovation and development, tracing its origins back to the early days of sound synthesis. Its evolution promises to transform how you engage with music. For many years, Roland's sound design has significantly shaped various musical landscapes, with a series of iconic instruments that have not only defined genres like techno, house, and hip hop but have also left a lasting impact on pop, rock, and cinematic scores. This rich history has led to the creation of the ZEN-Core Synthesis System, which stands as our most sophisticated sound engine to date, powering esteemed synthesizers such as the JUPITER-X and FANTOM, both of which are utilized by artists in live performances and recording studios globally. ZENOLOGY serves as an expandable plug-in variant of the ZEN-Core Synthesis System, offering users a versatile platform. The ZEN-Core architecture is built around discrete synth voices, each featuring a customizable oscillator, filter, amplifier, dual step-LFOs, and rich effects, allowing for a wide array of sonic possibilities. By embracing this technology, musicians can explore new creative dimensions in their soundscapes.
