After a few iterations in beta testing, Hyperion v1.04 is now available to download at Tracktion.com
Here’s the list of the latest changes/fixes:
Fixes:
Paste nodes across layers - capability restored.
Pin highlight clearing after dismiss pin menu.
Changes/Additions:
Hard sync mode for mono/stereo and wavesequence oscillators.
Quality/Oversampling options in settings panel - with state memory.
Note priority modes in Note in node - newest, oldest, lowest, highest.
New ‘Per-voice’ granulator audio processing node.
Memory usage reduction for audio buffers in several nodes.
Auto reposition layers viewport to newly added synth layers outside of visible space.
Minor tweaks to knobs/sliders spacing in edit panels.
Probably the most interesting update here is the hard sync mode - it really adds a lot of different sonic capability to the oscillators - and is applicable to all the existing oscillator waveforms.
The hard sync mode uses a virtual oscillator to implement the phase resetting, so doesn’t require another external modulation source, and it’s applied to the main oscillator as well as the unison detune copies.
I made a test video to quickly show the kinds of sound you can achieve:
Also, the per voice granulator node enables granulator effect on each note - rather than the prior FX bus only granulator - the granulator processes an incoming moving buffer of audio - so it’s a audio processor rather than the typical sound generator granulation synthesis.
I made a pad that uses the new granulator processing - and uploaded a video showing how that is constructed from various elements (including a wavesequence with some steps using the new hard sync feature):
