environment that not only offers you endless creative possibilities,
but lets you work more productively and efficiently than ever before.

creating new patches and tweaking your sound - Hypersonic 2 provides

In-Depth Patch Editing
With
version 2.0 the user gets full access to all oscillator parameters, the
modulation matrix and LFOs, this was previously only available to
owners of the US-1 expansion. This allows complete control over the
different types of synthesis.
Hyperphrases
The Hypersonic
classic analog arpeggiator modes & monophonic step sequences are
enhanced in Hypersonic 2 by polyphonic phrases and the possibility to
import user phrases from MIDI files.
Innovative Live Play Feature
For
live performance or in the studio, Combis using multiple patches can be
switched using an assignable MIDI controller. Pre-loading allows
instant switching between these Combis and held notes to continue for
as long as they are held.
Increased Sample Content
Hypersonic
2 comes with more than double the sample content, new multi-samples,
new instruments as well as revised patches and instruments of version
1.0.
