u-he has announced the release of performance-friendly soundset for the Hive 2 software synthesizer instrument.
Comprising over 260 presets plus many XY variations, Sugar & Spice draws inspiration from the iconic stage keyboards and synths of the ’80s and ’90s.
This collection blends classic charm with modern flexibility. While offering nuanced response to velocity and aftertouch for the seasoned keyboardist, Sugar & Spice also delivers more dramatic morphing via the XY Pads — you will find over 100 examples in the XY Showcase folders.
Sugar & Spice comes in two parts: Sugar by the multi-talented Michael Cavallo, and Spice by our very own Howard Scarr. This combined effort ties into a tradition started by Hive Science and continued in Metaphorium.
The soundset is available to purchase for 39 EUR.
