Forty Hive 2 presets grown from organic wavetables.

EtherLoops Organic HV is a bank of 40 ambient presets for u-he Hive 2: warm, dark-leaning pads, hazy atmospheres, soft keys and glassy bells, Berlin-school sequences and tempo-synced arps, expressive leads, deep basses and slow soundscapes.

Every preset is built on the EL Organic wavetables, EtherLoops' own warm, evolving tables. 38 of them are included, ready to drop into Hive. The presets share the EtherLoops sound: dark filtered bodies you open up on the XY pad, a quieter airy layer an octave above, low unison detune instead of supersaw width, slow free-running movement, and reverb, delay and chorus already set.


What's inside

  • 40 Hive 2 presets (.h2p): 8 Pads · 4 Atmospheres · 8 Keys & Bells · 5 Sequences · 3 Arps · 5 Leads · 4 Basses · 3 Soundscapes & Drones
  • 38 EL Organic wavetables in Hive format (256 frames each)
  • Full tagging in Hive's browser: category, features, character and a description on every preset
  • README with install steps · LICENSE


Four performance controls on every preset

  • XY pad 1, X: Timbre: sweeps the wavetable position of both oscillators
  • XY pad 1, Y: Filter: opens a deliberately dark sound up to bright
  • XY pad 2, X: Motion: the speed of the slow internal movement
  • XY pad 2, Y: Space: from close and dry to a wide reverb and delay wash

The XY pads ship at their sweet spot, not at zero. Mod wheel (filter + vibrato), aftertouch (brightness / air layer) and velocity (level + filter) are mapped on every preset.
