Hypersonic is the music workstation that adds more power, more versatility and more sounds to your system than you've ever dreamt of. With it's excellent sound-per-system specs, uncompromised sound quality, fast and easy tweaking options, Hypersonic is the ultimate sound factory for every computer-based musician. Hypersonic is both a compositional workhorse and an expandable, high-performance sample player / synthesizer. It takes the musical instrument workstation concept to computer-based music production environments with higher quality, easier use, and more effective playability than ever before.
With 5 high quality sound generation engines, a large built-in patch library with 1000 patches from more than 50 categories featuring Wizoo's acclaimed sound design, it delivers an unbelievable amount of sounds, effects, voices and outputs, allowing you to generate more high-quality sounds in a given system than ever before.
A fully integrated database makes finding the right sounds a breeze; "hyper knobs" allow for quicker, easier and more "intelligent" sound-tweaking than ever before at the turn of a single knob. Thanks to its proprietary and unique optimization engine, Hypersonic dramatically reduces CPU load, RAM/disk space requirements, and patch/combi loading times.
Hypersonic's synthesis engines and sound library are expandable by Hyper Modules.
16 Channels Playable Simultaneously
Channel link functions allows for layering patches by mouse
Velocity/key zone switching and crossfading
Mute function
Patches can be copied, moved, and renamed in the arrangement
Arrangement loadable/savable as combinations (song chains)
Integrated Mixer with Level, Pan, Output, FX1-4 Send
Up to 4 user-editable FX per part
Switchable realtime meter (audio level, velo, polyphony)
Patch lock function prevents accidental altering of values
MIDI mixer allows adjusting velo zone, key zone, polyphony, transposition and tuning per patch
Integrated Super-fast Search Engine Simplifies Finding the Right Sounds
Hyper patches have extensive keyword/descriptor tagging for precise, non-redundant search results.
Context-sensitive "Hyper Display"
"Hyper Display" shows important information such as patch descriptions, parameter meaning, controller assignment and other info that significantly adds speed and ease to the workflow
Hyper Knobs for Fast and Effective Sound Tweaking
For each patch there's an individual set of knobs; names and functions have been carefully pre-programmed by patch designers
Each knob affects multiple parameters within the patch and its elements (Macro and Morph functionality)
The Hyper Knobs always offer the six most relevant tweaking options for each type of sound, saving the user the tedious trial-and-error tweaking of dozens of single parameters
Automating Hyper Knobs via MIDI offers the most effective realtime control imaginable - one knob turns multiple parameters at a time
To program Hypersonic via hardware, Hyper Knobs can be assigned to hardware knobs (e.g., a USB MIDI keyboard or controller)
Expansion Bay: For up to 5 sound/sample library expansions or synthesizer modules
Wizoo Wave ROM comes standard in slot 1
Expansion modules enjoy full integration into Hypersonic during installation: database, arrangement, mixer, and so on (i.e., analog synth expansion module patches integrate seamlessly into the Hypersonic patch database)
Integrated MIDI Keyboard
88-key, Mouse-velocity
2 wheels
Seamless, Comfortable Integration into VST 2.0 Compatible Hosts
Hypersonic sound banks and hyper patches can be browsed and selected directly from arrange window tracks.
