Press Reviews
"Hypersonic 2’s strength lies in quickly getting useable sounds into the hands of the musician - even without a powerful computer. We used a 1GHz G4 Powerbook (1GB RAM) while testing it and it didn’t experience any CPU strain. This makes it an ideal choice for taking on the road: low CPU loads, high-quality sounds and ease of use are the key qualities for a performance instrument. Composers will also find Hypersonic 2 ideal: when inspiration strikes, the last thing you want to do is spend hours perfecting a patch or finding the perfect sample texture. Hypersonic 2 enables composers to quickly dial up a suitable patch."

"In short: there’s more of everything, and it’s got better. Steinberg didn’t want to rebuild its software workstation. Instead, [the update to version 2] makes absolutely sensible additions to all aspects that drastically add to the value - sonically, optically and not least of all functionally."
MacLife (Germany), February 2006
"Hypersonic 2 is the logical extension of the well thought out concept seen in the previous version at a sensible price. Both the many multisets and individual patches are especially useful in speedy production of stylistically convincing layouts through their fluent handling. As with the previous version, the sound library is exceedingly inspiring. This software is definitely a leading candidate both for workstation fans that like to perform on stage with a laptop as well as stage and studio musicians that can appreciate a well-implemented arpeggiator."

"The speed at which you can create sound collages or combis for use in multi-mode really is impressive. The loading times for the individual sounds are extremely low and the quality of the effect section is gratifyingly high. Anyone looking for a solid virtual workstation that’s intuitive to use and offers a broad palette of sounds with low CPU load simply can’t ignore Hypersonic 2."
