hypercyclic is a
freeware LFO-driven MIDI arpeggiator, gate effect
and step sequencer for mangling sustained MIDI input
chords, the output of which can then drive other
MIDI instruments.
hypercyclic can generate MIDI that
can be recorded and/or sent to other plug-ins. It
features a built-in synth for testing purposes. Two
tempo-synced LFOs can be used to modulate various
parameters for creating interesting rhythmic effects
and chord variations. A unique feature is the
possibility to modulate the sequencer step size
itself, which can be useful for creating glitchy
stuttering effects.
What's new in hypercyclic
1.1?
v1.1 is functionally identical to v1.0, but has been
fully rewritten internally and now shares the same
new underlying modular engine and built-in synth
used by tonespace 2. It should also
provide a much faster experience when opening the
hypercyclic plug-in window on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow
Leopard.
The Windows version was tested on
Windows 7 64-bit (but should work on XP, Vista,
32-bit). The Mac OS X version was tested on Tiger
10.4 and Snow Leopard 10.6 (but should also work on
Panther, Leopard, and later). The Linux version was
tested on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS (not sure what
other versions might work).
Changes in Build 1.1.367:
- Fixed: slow UI loading time on OS X 10.6
Snow Leopard.
- Fixed: groove timing has improved.
- Fixed: MIDI song pointer follow has been
improved in standalone version.
- New: standalone version now accepts MIDI
sync messages.
- New: uses new test synth with PADsynth
algorithm.
- New: LFO waveform is now displayed.
