Capture the dream-like tones of your favorite Indie Electronica artists. Washed-out, grainy, otherworldly: Monochrome focusses on the organic edge of contemporary electronic music, with plenty of movement courtesy of all the modulators Hive 2 has to offer.

Inspired by the likes of Thom Yorke, Four Tet and Caribou, Monochrome aims to bring the unmistakably live feel of analogue hardware into the digital domain. Monochrome takes advantage of the many new waveforms and filter types that makes Hive 2 such a powerhouse synth.

Synthetic Lullaby In D Major

Back Talk” doesn’t ask for permission—it stomps in with swagger and leaves smoke behind. A riff-driven instrumental laced with attitude, defiance, and groove. It’s the sound of standing your ground, flipping the script, and walking away with a smirk. For fans of strut-heavy rock, no vocals—just pure energy.

Nothing But Trouble

Back Talk

Tried making a nice trance track with a Launchpad Pro. Enough is said.

Rak Apis Dorsata by Gamma Sutra

Old friends, lost in time,
brilliant minds in cluttered rooms,
stories left untold.
Sleek like jagged glass,
the sound of her name cuts deep,
whispered in terror.

Avon’s smirk betrayed,
their trust a fragile mirror,
shattered with a kiss.
A glance too deadly,
the TARDIS doors slammed shut fast,
time feared her power.

Shaken, never stirred,
a queen of venom and wit,
Bond was not ready.
Love, a loaded gun,
cocked with whispers, fired with doubt,
none were left standing.

A mask worn too long,
laughter hiding heavy storms,
storms she dared to name.
Fur against her skin,
the kindest soul she had met,
gentle hands held tight.

Two stars in one flat,
laughter echoing like ghosts,
whiskey-fueled legends.
Future’s finest chair,
a past life in some office,
painted destiny.






A Cycle of Faces and Fates 3 17 25

Founded in 2001 by industrial designer and synthesizer fan Urs Heckmann as a one-man show, the Berlin-based audio software company u-he has since evolved into a tightly knit team of employees, active associates and 3rd-party contractors – with ambitious plans.

Known primarily for Zebra2 and Diva, u-he has released several other successful products over the years, and has contributed freeware plug-ins to popular music technology magazines. Despite their underlying complexity, u-he synths and effects are widely acclaimed for their ease of use.

The u-he team has been exploring new technologies for vastly improved analogue synth and delay emulation, as well as various "physical modelling" approaches to acoustic instruments and effects. All valuable groundwork for the Zebra3 project and other spin-off products - watch this space!
Especially well known for the Zebra2 and Diva software synthesizers, u-he has developed several other successful products over the last decade, and regularly contributes freeware to popular magazines (available as download or on cover discs).

Despite their underlying complexity, u-he synths and effects are widely acclaimed for their ease of use. This is often attributed to Urs Heckmann's background as industrial designer. Heckmann sees the seemingly unconventional decision to start an audio software company as a direct result of his equal love for industrial design and for synthesizers.

Most recently, u-he has been exploring concepts for analogue synthesizers, and the first results can be heard in the software synths ACE / Bazille (audio-rate modulation paths) as well as Diva, Presswerk and Satin (accurate simulation of electronic circuitry). Hive is u-he's first foray into the world of low CPU dance-oriented synths.

Bambino: One shop destroyed. Three heads split like overripe melons. One man wounded and one castrated. All in two hours. Just two hours I left you alone. Two hours.
Trinity: Well, you asked me to give you a hand.

Always trying to make the best of everything and everywhere I go!
