￥Azure is a soundset with 207 new sounds for the u-he Hive synthesizer aimed for modern house / edm pop genres, especially Progressive House, with a focus on melodic plucks, driving basslines, lush pads, massive effects and even synthesized drum hits.

 

Azure is a soundset focusing on classic edm pop sounds & progressive house.

 

The soundset is divided into two parts. The first part (157 presets) was developed on Hive 1, and are to a large extent using a combination of traditional waveforms as well as the wavetables introduced with Hive 1.2. The second part is unique for Hive 2, and is a collection of 50 sounds utilising the new wavetables that comes with Hive 2.

 

We also added our own wavetables – but rather than just adding a handful of new timbres, we created 11 wavetables based on phrases spoken by a speech synthesizer.

 

Azure contains 207 new sounds and 11 new wavetables.
