Hive 2 is a high-performance subractive and wavetable synth plugin developed by u-he. Engineered to combine incredible audio fidelity with minimal CPU consumption, it is a go-to favorite for fast-paced modern production. It is widely used across electronic, synthwave, pop, EDM, Afrobeats, hip-hop, and cinematic scoring for creating punchy basslines, soaring leads, lush pads, intricate arpeggios, and rhythmic textures.

The synthesizer architecture features 2 pairs of stereo oscillators (with up to 16x unison per oscillator and sub-oscillators), 140 factory wavetables (with custom .uhm scripting support), and 2 multimode filters offering low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, comb, reverb, sideband, and dissonant modes. Version 2 expands sound design capabilities with a unique 8-step Shape Sequencer (4 independent output lanes), 2 Function Generators (acting as extra envelopes, LFOs, or slew limiters), a 12x2 Modulation Matrix with advanced signal modifiers (quantize, sample/hold, slew rate), 4 assignable XY control pads, an integrated Scope, and 7 onboard effects (distortion, chorus, delay, phaser, EQ, plate reverb, compressor). Hive 2 operates in 64-bit VST2, VST3, AU, AAX, and CLAP formats for Windows, macOS (with native Apple Silicon and Intel support), and Linux.
