Overview

Fast on top, deep underneath.

Hive 2 is a subtractive synthesizer designed for quick results and light CPU load, with an uncluttered single-screen layout. Two oscillators offer nine waveforms each plus 140 wavetables and up to 16-voice unison, feeding two multimode filters and seven built-in effects. A generous modulation matrix, shape sequencer and XY performance pads keep deeper sound design within easy reach.
