•Click on an output slot to open a pop-up menu.
•To deactivate a slot, choose Off. 
•To activate a slot, choose one of the three options described below.
After reconfiguring output slots, restart Hypersonic 2 for the changes to 
take effect.
Mono channels
Select M for 2 mono channels in the host mixer. This makes sense for 
bass tracks or solo voices so you can handle both signals indepen-
dently.
To assign a signal to a mono channel, select the output slot and set the 
signal’s pan position to extreme left or right.
Stereo channel
Select S for a stereo channel in the host mixer. This is the standard 
mode for a Hypersonic 2 output.
Quadro channel
When you select Q, Hypersonic 2 creates a quadrophonic channel in 
your host mixer, combining the slot you’ve selected and the slot right 
next to it. 
A quadro channel routes the first stereo pair to the front and the se-
cond one to the rear. Of course, this is intended for surround setups. 
Nuendo and Cubase SX 3 support quadro channels. In other hosts, 
selecting Q for a slot creates four mono channels.
In Hypersonic 2, you can still select the two slots making up the Quadro 
channel individually. Selecting the first slot for a part sends the part to 
the front. Assigning it to the second slot sends it to the rear. Pan con-
trols function normally.

Output Hype
The Hype feature is essentially a 'mastering' processor which pro-
duces a more punchy and bright sound. Many hardware keyboards 
and modules have this kind of Hyping active under the hood where 
you can't get your hands on it, but we've given you the control. This 
feature effects all Hypersonic patches and is active on all outputs.
Because all Hypersonic settings are saved with your song, you can 
tweak the Hype to just the amount you like for each project or choose 
'Save Defaults' to always have your preferred setting when starting 
new projects.
Master Volume
Hypersonic’s overall volume control.
Master Tuning
Offsets the pitch by semitones and semitone cents for all Hypersonic 
patches globally.
Patches can of course be tuned individually on the Hypersonic MIDI page.
MIDI Settings
Receive MIDI Program Changes and Enable MIDI Combi Selection
1.To enable or disable the accepting of MIDI program change messages 
of the plug-in set the parameter “Pgm Change” to “On” or “Off”.
When this option is switched off, patches can no longer be listed and 
selected in the host (e.g., in the Inspector in Cubase or Nuendo).

Note that changing this option requires a restart of the plug-in for the 
change to take effect.
2.Use “MIDI Combi Sel” to enable or disable the accepting of MIDI pro-
gram changes for user banks (program change messages on channel 
16 for bank numbers 120 and above). Or enable the Combi Chain to 
receive MIDI program changes by selecting “Chain”. For more info 
read “The Combi Chain” on page 49.
Vel Sens
Allows you to customize the velocity response of Hypersonic 2 to your 
master keyboard.
Touch Sens
Allows you to customize the response of Hypersonic 2 to the depth of 
aftertouch modulation produced by your master keyboard.
GM On/Off (General MIDI mode)
Switches Hypersonic’s General MIDI mode on. 
•In GM mode program changes recall GM patches. GM patches are found in 
banks 78 and 79.
•“GM Reset" Sysex is received.
•Clicking Reset in activated GM mode produces a GM reset that loads GM 
pianos and drum kits, as well as GM reverb and chorus send FX.
Reset
Resets Hypersonic 2 to its default settings.

Loading and saving patches and combis
The Setup page contains an area where you can load and save com-
bis. This has been included because some host applications don’t 
provide this functionality for plug-ins.
For detailed info about loading and saving patches and combis, see the 
section “Combis” on page 45.
Memory Usage
This small section within the Setup page consists of a display, a lock 
button and a selector option where you can view and set the memory 
usage of Hypersonic 2.
The memory saving methods in Hypersonic 2
Hypersonic 2 is extremely effective in terms of RAM usage:
•It uses a proprietary, sample optimization algorithm that not only minimizes the 
size of the sample content on disk, but also in RAM. This technology saves up 
to 66% of valuable storage space with no loss in audio quality.
•For each multisampled Waveform bigger than 5 MB, there is an ECO version 
using less samples, again saving up to 50% memory usage. 
•When several parts use the same multisampled waveforms, they are only 
loaded once into memory (“memory sharing”). This also applies when you use 
several drumkits that share all or a part of the drum samples.

Memory Usage display
This shows the total RAM usage (in Megabytes, or MB) of all currently 
loaded parts. The plug-in instance itself adds approximately 15 MB to 
this figure. 
Memory Usage setting
Underneath the MB display is a little selector button whose setting is 
relevant only for patches with [S] elements (sample-based). 
Per [S] element within a patch, the sound designers have chosen 
whether it uses an ECO or an XXL version of the waveform. This 
means that within a patch there can be ECO and XXL elements, 
depending on their importance for the patch.
Click the selector button to open a menu with the following options:
•XXL – all elements use XXL Waveforms - more samples, maximum quality
•Default – uses the settings the programmers made in the patches
•ECO – all elements use ECO Waveforms - helps you to save system resources
Lock
Activating the Lock switch keeps all loaded sample data in RAM. This 
allows a patch you have used before to be reloaded faster, for exam-
ple if you have a song containing many MIDI program changes.
