Hyve Review + 2 Patreon Exclusive downloads

Skot Wiedmann's Hyve Synth approaches the concept of what a synth is in a completely original, creative and ingenious way.
It has 60 oscillators (not a typo) - 12 core oscillators and 4 sub-oscillators for each, organized in two layouts of close to 5 octaves each (piano style and isomorphic hexagonal), all the size of two decks of cards.
Hyve Synth also has stereo touch - in the video I show how each of the right and left channels can be passed through different effects chains for increased expressive control. There's no magic though - the small size does mean some compromises, which I discuss in the video.
The result is a synth that feels and sounds very organic (sort of like an accordion or harmonica).
Attached to this video as Patreon exclusive downloads are two video files of the jams in the video.
All my best,
Ziv (playing isomorphically on YouTube as "Loopop"...)
