Hive 1.2: The Wavetable Update

published

We just updated Hive to version 1.2! While this update is focused on the introduction of wavetable scanning, it also includes other new features, bugfixes, and almost 500 new factory presets.

Wavetables in Hive are easily selectable as oscillator waveforms and controlled in the Hive hexagon. There are many features available to shape the waveform any way you wish: from manual scanning to modulatable controls. As a plus: a proprietary wavetable scripting language!

The update is free for users of Hive 1.x. You can download the new version from the product page and install it. It includes wavetable scanning, our new preset browser with tagging support, a new XY section for more performance control with intelligent auto-assignment, new modulation matrix modifiers, VST3 support, and many more improvements.

About the discount: To celebrate the release of version 1.2, Hive will be available through our webstore for 119 € until the 20th of January 2019. During the course of 2019, we will release Hive 2.0. All Hive v1 owners will be eligible to upgrade their licenses to v2 for 20 €.

Important info about the 1.2 update installation: Due to the new preset browser, it is important to install the update into the same location as the previous version, and to make sure to select all previously installed plugin formats during installation. Alternatively, you can remove the old installation, and start over with a fresh installation. But it is crucial to not mix old and new plugin versions, since the old versions can not cope with the new preset browser, and will crash (or otherwise misbehave) if you try to load them.
