7 rearrangeable effects: distortion, chorus, delay, phaser, EQ, reverb, compressor.2 function generators which can serve as extra envelopes, gate generators, LFOs, slew limiters.Scale quantizer with pre-defined list of scales.Arpeggiator, step sequencer with real-time recording.Unique 8-step shape sequencer with 4 independent outputs.12 x 2 modulation matrix slots with modifiers for curvature, rectification, quantization, sample & hold, slew rate.2 oscillators with standard waveforms or 2D wavetables, up to 16x unison, tunable sub-oscillators.Low CPU usage, 3 different synth engines.NEW in v2.1.1: Improved resource management for better performance.Now packed with more controls than ever, version 2 opens up new dimensions of expression… and sheer fun! Features: Although surprisingly CPU-friendly, Hive doesn't sacrifice flexibility or audio quality. If you are lucky you will find a great setting, which you can send to us.Hive's clear layout and easy workflow let you create stunning patches in next to no time at all. Protoverb generates random delay line lengths, networks and feedback strategies. With such a structure, no mathematical formula can make it sound right, it is down to trial and error (and luck) using random values. To achieve this, Protoverb works with many parallel, serial and networked delays. These properties are found in churches and large halls, but are rarely in conventional algorithmic reverbs. When you play a short melody, the room seems to repeat a ghost echo of that melody.Multiple instruments remain distinct, without disappearing in a wash.Notes held for a longer time tend to build up resonance, as if the air takes a while to get excited.The result is a very natural sounding reverberation with interesting characteristics: No need to modulate or colour the signal. It builds up as many room resonances as possible, modelling the body of air in the room. Most algorithmic reverbs try to avoid resonances or model the reflections of sound from a room’s walls. Protoverb is an experimental room simulator reverb.
