  1. I have to say I think they did such a phenomenal job on Hive. I bought it a while back during early beta stages and right from the start I couldnt get over how great it sounds but still be gentle on the cpu. Urs is a goddamn necromancer.

  2. I already have Diva and love it. Not sure if this is intended to be a scaled down version of Diva or a completely different sounding synth.

    1. This synth does not have “analog-like” design under the hood, it is completely digital, like Sylenth. Therefore it might sound different from other U-he products.

  3. I like the layout, I would like this to be a rack extension for reason.

    The two independent amp envelopes are cool!

  4. Some of the presets knocked my newbie socks off. Man this smashes my Komplete 9 ultimate sounds. Looks way more (and is) more fun than Diva. The sounds are incredible and as one forum member had claimed “Urs is a Necromancer”. Phenomenal sounds and a real bargain for 99 usd. A whole new dark blue World.
