Resonate Sound Design Bios for HIVE2

Resonate Sound Design Bios for HIVE2

Bios is a very versatile library. The majority of the presets are initially very chilled & understated, making them suitable for underscoring, ambient or downtempo work. Start to use the mapped controls (modwheel, breath, expression & aftertouch) and they can become very nasty in nature! This makes them perfect for genres such as cyberpunk, darkwave & trailer…maybe a load more electronic genres!

​Bios comes with 136 presets (with extra variations).

Melodic/bass/drums:

  • 10 arps
  • 17 basses
  • 2 hats
  • 2 hat sequences
  • 10 keys
  • 1 kick
  • 11 leads
  • 20 pads
  • 1 percussion
  • 12 plucks
  • 16 pulses
  • 6 sequences
  • 3 snares
  • 2 sub basses

FX:

  • 7 braams
  • 5 bass drops (each with 4 length variations)
  • 4 risers (each with 7 length variations)
  • 5 impacts
  • 1 strange

Bios also comes with 21 custom wavetables – these are required to be installed so that the presets function as expected.

The vast majority of the presets have the modwheel, breath & expression mapped. Quite a few also have aftertouch mapped. Using the controls gives a great amount of flexibility and variation in the presets.

I endeavoured to keep the maximum volume of each preset around -5dBFS true peak.

The presets were created in Hive 2 version 2.0.1 (revision 9709) so I cannot guarantee them working in an earlier version. You can get the most up to date version of Hive 2 from u-he’s website.
