u-he Hive 2 was made to be fast and simple. Its streamlined single-screen UI lets you dive into sound creation immediately. A fluid workflow invites you to tweak away until your sound is just right (or wrong in just the right way). Hive 2 was engineered to be light on your CPU and won't slow you down while you work. But being fast and simple doesn't mean u-he's developers sacrificed sound quality or creative control—Hive 2 is packed with features, controls and enough flexibility to deliver stunning sounds.

Whatever your style—from dance to ambient, progressive rock to R&B—Hive 2 is the right tool for the job: a lightweight synth that delivers a heavyweight sound.
