01Overview

Elevation is a collection of 85 presets built for the HIVE synthesizer. Resonance Sound, working with Aiyn Zahev Sounds, says the bank draws on modern and classic trance sounds while using HIVE's own analog-style character to give them a fresh sound. The presets are organized into categories covering the core elements of a trance track, so you can find a starting point for a bassline, a lead, a pad or a sequence without building it from scratch. The developer describes the bank as suited to trance, progressive trance, EDM and ambient electronic production.

03In depth

Sound Design and Character in the Elevation Preset Bank

The bank uses HIVE's three filter models for resonant, squelchy acid sequences. Envelopes are set fast for snappy, crisp plucks, and supersaw stacks are used for large anthemic leads suited to breakdowns. The pads are described as lush and dense.

HIVE's oscillators are used for the 27 bass sounds, and the developer notes that most bass sequences are programmed in octaves so they can be transposed to any key. Effects are applied with restraint, from subtle to extreme distortion, with small EQ changes to help sounds sit in a mix, and delay and reverb chosen to suit each style.

Who Elevation Is For and How to Use It

Elevation is aimed primarily at trance producers, and Resonance Sound says it also fits progressive trance, EDM and ambient electronic music. The presets can be used as finished sounds or as starting points for your own sound design.

The bank needs u-He HIVE version 10 or later to run, so it is only useful to producers who already use HIVE.
