Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Arena soundset. We hope you will enjoy these sounds and put them to good use in your music.
Installation
You can install Arena anywhere within Hive’s ‘Local’ folder. Mac owners can use the extra ‘User’ folder instead.
• Load an instance of Hive into your DAW and click on the PRESETS button
• In Hive’s ‘Directory’ browser panel, right-click on ‘Local’ and select ‘reveal in
Finder’ (macOS) / ‘open in Explorer’ (Windows)
• Copy the ‘Arena’ folder into the ‘Hive’ folder you have just revealed
• Back in Hive’s own browser, right-click on ‘Local’ again and select ‘refresh’
Assuming Hive was originally installed using the default paths, it will recognize presets in the following locations (remember to ‘refresh’):
Windows: ‘Local’ …\VstPlugins\u-he\Hive.data\Presets\Hive\
macOS: ‘Local’ MacHD/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/Hive/ or
‘User’ ~/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/Hive/
Playing the Presets
All Arena presets include MIDI performance control via the modulation wheel, aftertouch, breath control, velocity and expression. Read the Preset Information panel for details about availability and usage of these controls for each preset. See the Hive user guide for more information about the Preset Information panel.

About the Author
Kevin cut his sound-design teeth on the Commodore 64 back in the 1990s. Now a well established freelancer (Access Virus, Roland Aira / JDXA) and demo composer, Kevin augments his mastery of “digital edge” with affectionate nods to analogue synthesizer history. You can hear Kevin's creations in the soundtrack to Men in Black 3.
