Expand Steinberg's Hypersonic with Wizoo's Hyper Modules
February 18, 2004
Wizoo has unveiled the first three extensions for Hypersonic. Each of these Hyper Modules endows Hypersonic with yet another fully-featured software instrument. Hyper Modules integrate into Hypersonic's sound-generating, ensuring users enjoy functional breadth and depth far greater than that of many stand-alone plugs-ins, and at a more affordable price to boot.
Designed to cover a specific range of sounds, each Hyper Module offers a rich selection of patches. In addition, all Hyper Modules may be combined with legacy Hypersonic elements to further augment the instrument's scope of sound-sculpting options.
This first collection of Hyper Modules comprises the following instruments:
US-1 Ultra Synth. This fully programmable analog/digital synthesizer features three oscillators with analog waveforms, Wavetable synthesis, Sync and Unison modes, a Multimode filter featuring audio modulation via oscillator and overdrive, three envelopes, three LFOs, a Modulation Matrix, an Expert editor for in-depth sound parameter tweaking, and 256 patches created by pro sound designers.
GP-2 Grand Pianos. Designed to spare system capacity and power, two virtual grand pianos offer detail in the tradition of the VST instrument The Grand. Offering adjustable timbre and velocity curve, each piano comes in three sizes to strike a balance between maximum sound quality and minimal RAM requirements.
NB-3 Tonewheel Organ. This Hyper Module brings the legendary organs and rotary cabinets of the '50s back to life with a sonic spectrum ranging from monstrous, house-approved low end to '70s-style lead sounds. Nine drawbars, various tone wheel emulations (from "new" to "old and ratty"), adjustable key click as well as a virtual rotary cabinet offering tube overdrive and variable speed are on board. The NB-3's 64 preset patches by Peter Gorges ooze authenticity so that even newcomers to organ styles are sure to enjoy instant musical satisfaction in every musical genre.
Priced at USD 99.00 (79.00 Euros) each, US-1 Ultra Synth, GP-2 Grand Pianos and NB-3 Tonewheel Organ wilo be available March 1 directly at www.wizoo.com (online) or via the Wizoo mail order service (USA: 1-800-579-4832; Europe: +49-421-701870).
