Resonate Sound Design has announced the release of Bios, a new soundset for the Hive 2 software synthesizer by u-he.
The majority of the presets are initially very chilled & understated, making them suitable for underscoring, ambient or downtempo work.
Start to use the mapped controls (modwheel, breath, expression & aftertouch) and they can become very nasty in nature! This makes them perfect for genres such as cyberpunk, darkwave & trailer…maybe a load more electronic genres!
The soundset includes 136 presets, with extra variations:
- 10 arps.
- 17 basses.
- 2 hats.
- 2 hat sequences.
- 10 keys.
- 1 kick.
- 11 leads.
- 20 pads.
- 1 percussion.
- 12 plucks.
- 16 pulses.
- 6 sequences.
- 3 snares.
- 2 sub basses.
- 7 braams.
- 5 bass drops (each with 4 length variations).
- 4 risers (each with 7 length variations).
- 5 impacts.
- 1 strange.
Bios includes 21 custom wavetables and the vast majority of the presets has modwheel, breath and expression mapped, while some also have aftertouch mapped. The soundset requires Hive 2.0.1 (revision 9709) or higher.
