Split into sections of modulation, you can quickly make any adjustments you need to your sound in order to fit your mix and style.

Streamlined and fully featured, Hive 2 lets you delve into the depths of sound design with ease. Sparing no expense, Hive 2 gives you a recordable shape sequencer and 12-slot matrix with modulatable effect parameters to explore new tonal horizons. Achieve the sound that's in your head without being held back by difficult to navigate menus, tedious tweaking and instead jump straight into world-class sounds. Hive 2 is the ultimate solution for modern producers looking for a workhorse synthesizer that can replace the function of several others all in one intuitive and great sounding plug-in.
A powerful and exciting tool, Hive 2 features two wavetables to manipulate your sound in unique ways to create fresh sounds that may spark your creativity. Appearing as two multiple waveforms in the central hexagon, you have the ability to manually select wavetables, modulate their position or modulate them automatically by using the envelope and loop functions. Not only that but you can reverse and flip the waveform back to front to drastically change the sound and timbre.
Please note: The current version of Avid's toolkit for building AAX plug-ins is not compatible with the Apple SDK needed to build plug-ins for Apple's new ARM/M1 processors. We are therefore not able to provide updated AAX versions on macOS, neither for Intel CPUs, nor for Apple M1. If you're a Pro Tools user on macOS, please continue using the previous version of Hive 2 for the time being. Once the AAX toolkit supports Apple's M1 processor architecture, we will provide new AAX versions for macOS, with support for Big Sur and both Intel and Apple M1 CPUs.
