Hyperion Black Friday deals cover a multi-layer modular synth plugin from Tracktion, and the offer is 40% off, which brings it to $77.40 until Nov 6, 2026.
It is a digital modular instrument inspired by 80s artists like Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and Brian Eno. The maker calls it an unlimited sound design playground.
The pitch is deep sound design with patching that stays easy to follow.
Hyperion runs up to 16 layers, each a 32-voice polyphonic modular patch with its own chord effects. Layers are MPE capable and can be driven together by macro controls.
Layers can also talk to each other. They pass CC and macro data, plus FX bus audio, between themselves.
Each layer has its own note handling: polyphony, pitch bend range, portamento speed, pitch randomization, drift depth, custom pitch slope, mono re-trigger and voice trigger options.
The maker says layering and splitting patches, with chord, arpeggiation and bus effects per layer, is a quick source of ideas for any genre.
The oscillator section covers a lot of ground:
Wave-sequences and FM configurations can be saved and loaded, and ready-made ones are included.
Per-voice processing includes low, high, band and notch filters with cutoff, resonance, slope and saturation. You also get distortion, a tube resonator, a ring modulator, a bit-crusher, a granulator and a vowel filter.
The bus effects are true stereo. They include three reverb types (Medium, Large and Huge), full and dual-band compressors with side-chain, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, a 3 band EQ, a pitch shifter and a stereo echo with cross feedback.
On the control side, there are ADSR envelopes with pre-delay, looping envelopes, and LFOs with one-shot mode, beat sync and start phase. Generative nodes cover step sequences, math expressions, binary logic, scale mapping and event triggers.
Each modulation input pin accepts up to 16 mixable sources, and each layer can hold an unlimited number of nodes.
Hyperion can also send MIDI CC and notes out on any of 16 channels, so you can drive other synths and effects.
Waveform previews, data-scope traces and per-voice value displays make big patches easier to read. Patch browsing has categories, author filters and quick folder switching.
Hyperion is designed and coded by Paul Carter, who is also known as Wavesequencer.
On Mac, Hyperion needs macOS 10.11 or later (64-bit) and comes as VST3 and AU. On Windows, it supports 64-bit Windows 8, 10 and 11 as VST3.
