Hyperion Synth v1.58 for Windows

Hyperion is a powerful VST3/AU plugin and standalone synthesizer for Windows and Mac which features multiple synthesis types, totally flexible patching, and up to 16 layers of polyphonic sounds with individual key and velocity zones, pitch bend ranges, tuning, arpeggiator and individual per-layer effects. Modular audio nodes cover classic oscillators with wave-shaping and unison detunes with stereo spreading, wave-sequencing oscillators, 4 operator FM, wave-sequenced FM, a plucked string model, a flute model, sample playback, and sound-fonts (multi-samples).

Hyperion features multiple kinds of filters, distortions and bus effects as well as logic & math nodes for generative patch design. Patches can have an unlimited number of nodes, and node control inputs can have multiple modulation sources allowing extremely complex modulations. Auxiliary effect buses allow to send audio between layers, and control data and MIDI notes can also be sent from one layer to another allowing for deep modulation. The number of sound processing elements is limited only by the available CPU power.

Deep modulation and layering possibilities
Hyperion synth has been designed from the outset with sonic flexibility in mind whilst keeping modular patching approachable and easy to follow. Efficient processing enables up to 16 layers of complex sound patches which can be affected in unison by macro controls, but which can also send modulation data and aux buss audio between each other.

The ability to quickly layer and split polyphonic modular patches using a wide variety of synthesis methods and with individual chord, arpeggiation and bus effects per layer is an instant source of musical inspiration for music producers of all genres.

Multi-layer sound designs can be saved and recalled as ‘combi’ patches. Patch browsing with categories and author filters as well as quick folder switching enables fast retrieval of sounds. Hyperion features per layer note handling options enabling layer specific polyphony, pitch bend range, portamento speed, pitch randomization and drift depths, custom pitch slope (positive or negative), mono-phonic re-trig option, and voice trigger options.

Unlimited number of nodes per layer - and up to 16 mixable modulation sources per target modulation input pin. Animated data modulation mix per-voice data bar and data-scope trace views, and in graph per voice text value and per-voice-data scope trace viewer nodes help to make complex patch designs easier to understand and adjust.

Multiple synthesis types

• Classic mono and stereo ‘digital’ and ‘virtual analog’ oscillators with mono or stereo unison detuning and wave-shaping which enables drastic sonic character changes from the basic wave-forms.
• Easy to use 4 operator FM (phase modulation with feedback) with 12 algorithms & multi-operator output mix, pre-selected list of useful modulation-operator ratios and master modulation depth control.
• Wave-sequencing oscillators with up to 32 steps of oscillator configuration (including pitch offset, waveform, wave-shape depth, unison detunes, balance and level) with smooth cross fading via wave-sequence position modulation - save your own, and load ready made sequences.
• Wave-sequenced 4 operator FM - with the same features as classic oscillator wave-sequencing but enabling sequences of 4 operator FM configurations (also with save and load capability).
• Plucked string model with damping, distortion and stereo unison detunes.
• Physical modeling flute oscillator with smooth note/pipe configuration transitions.
• Sample playback with looping - can loop single cycle waveforms to create custom oscillator tones.
• Multi-sample (sound font) oscillator enabling import of sfz/sf2 files.
