Hypersonic is a VST / DXI / Standalone sound module, with synth workstation capabilities. It's like a Yamaha Motif in software format. It has a big library of sounds and great editing capabilities. It's got a phrase arpegiator, the ability to create your own bank setups using your own patches. All patches can be triggered through midi messages. It comes with a preset GM library, that can be used with GM sounds for those who don't like to setup banks and patches by them selves. It's got a phrase arpeggiator, the only thing it hasn't got is a sampler, all samples are embeded in the system, so it's basically a ROMpler. The power of this system is wild! You get a great bang for the buck, the sounds are in my opinion superior to most hardware synths on the market today. If you have One Man Band software you can use yamaha styles to trigger HyperSonics sounds. You have to use MIDIYoke or some other kind of virtual midi patch bay to transfer the midi signals, but once you've done that you can run HyperSonic in GM mode and the patches will change without any editing what so ever. But if you put in some configuration work, you can access the full blown power of hypersonic. I'm currently working on a patch bank with Megavoice compatible patches for playback of Tyros styles. I will post more examples as I go along, but for now you can listen to the examples of what I allready posted. Fly me to the moon, is played by me in realtime using the Jazz Club style from the DGX-305, that is the same style that the Tyros has. FranklySoul is the intro and outro from the same style from the Tyros, megavoice.mp3 is my first attempt at creating a megavoice compatible patch, it needs more editing to be complete. I'm blown away by the power of this workstation! As for the costs, it's a bit expensive for a plugin, but it's worth every penny in my opinion! It retails at $399, but I've seen it on the web for $299. But for that money you get ALOT of music! Add the $50 for One Man Band, and it's not too shabby... if you allready have a keyboard and a computer with 512MB ram or more... well then $350 + some configuration time, and you've got yourself a Tyros
