PRODUCT OVERVIEW
High End Sonics
HYPE offers revolutionary processing tools for compression, harmonics, and stereo placement. Fulfilling the same role as mixing hardware without falling into the same trope as emulations.
Each algorithm has been carefully hand tuned to solve a specific problem, create a possibility or open the doorway to something new and unique.
Modern Elegant Workflow
Designed from the ground up to be easy to access but allow deep control when you need it, Hype brings several cutting-edge technologies together in a uniquely accessible way. Ignite creative ideas and take your sound from Raw to Hype in the fastest possible way, from defining the broad strokes to fine tuning nuances. Hype is fast, flexible and intuitive.
Multi-Band with No Limits
Easily combine multiple harmonic generators and compression algorithms in HYPE to drive, saturate, or enhance signals. Apply distinct harmonic modes across three bands, allowing for tailored dynamic shaping across low, mid, and high frequencies. Hype’s Multi-band X-Over can operate in either low latency or linear phase mode for pristine phase accurate parallel processing.
Tones and Treatments
From subtle excitement to bombastic attitude, Hype comes loaded with flavors. With over 200 presets, Filter by category, by User or just for favorites and quickly jump through presets to find the perfect partner for your sound.
Load individual compressor, harmonics and stereo presets, lock the X-Over to your material and get experimental.

AUDIO DEMOS
Listen to the difference Hype can bring to your sound.
Modern Dynamic Control
From the extreme Slam and Brick, to the classic Opto, and unique Gated mode, Hype’s six compressor modes range from radical and over the top to subtle and nuanced. Combo merges two modes for a unique blending experience, while Gentle offers elegant, minor adjustments ideal for mastering, providing versatile dynamics control for every creative endeavor.
Harmonic Excitement
From subtle excitement to rich saturated overtones, the six pristine algorithms deliver beautiful color to every sound they touch. Combine and mix algorithms across each of the three bands to achieve truly exceptional colouration.
The harmonic engine in HYPE uses advanced ADAA algorithms, in tandem with UrsaDSP’s Trajectory technology in order to achieve consistent harmonics with substantially reduced inharmonic content. Hype introduces harmonics without adding additional gain change, letting you hit the harmonic sweet spot at any gain level.
Stereo Placement
Enhance stereo image and depth with complete mid/side settings across all three bands and independently adjust the dry and wet signals to achieve optimum exposure in the mix.
By Separating the wet and dry width it is also possible to push the harmonics out to create engaging stereo soundscapes from the new tonal content the whilst leaving the original signal unchanged.With a fast and seamless way to switch between controlling anything and everything, whichever combination you need is readily available, no limits. It goes where you tell it to.
Multi-Band with Minimal Work
Hype harnesses the power of multi-band processing with the simplicity of broadband operation.
The Aggregate controls for each Module behave like macro settings allowing you to quickly move the parameters for all 3 bands in a coherent way without having to repeat actions over and over. Browsing into each Module exposes the linked multi-band controls, offering quick editing of the broad strokes, while still being able to dial in the multi-band parameters individually for the ultimate shaping experience.
Sonic Excellence
HYPE combines well understood controls like multi-band split points and per band gain with high quality filters capable of both low latency mode and linear phase mode intended for parallel and send processing.
The Tone control allows you to shape the results of the sound to match human hearing. Higher settings will make the Compressor and Harmonics sections more sensitive in the mid-range and treble leading to a creamier sounding result. Lower settings produce a brighter, more dominant sound.
Preset Pollination
With categories for common instruments, mix bus, mastering and production styles, a new tone is just a click away.
Have the perfect Harmonics but want to try a different Compressor? Hype lets you load the settings for just one module at a time whilst leaving the rest fixed. You can also lock the X-Over panel settings to fix the frequency splits and band gains to your material when loading new presets.
Finally, A B C D variations allow you to load and audition multiple presets, while copy and paste gives you the freedom to transfer presets between plugin instances and even across different DAWs.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Melbeatz
Ari Morris
78x Gold and Multi-Platinum, Grammy Nominated Music Producer
When I’m mixing a record, the most important thing for me is being able to get to where I want to be as efficiently as possible. Hype has, after just the first few uses, become indispensable for getting the sounds I’m hearing in my head to come out the speakers, quickly.
Robert Babicz
Music Producer, Mastering Engineer, Live Performer
An instant 100% yes, love it straight away!
Protoculture
Music Producer
Getting elements in your track to really ‘pop’ has never been easier. HYPE is a refreshing take on dynamics and tone shaping.
Lostly
Music Producer
HYPE literally lives on all of my tracks, it even does the job on the Master channel.
Fernando Delgado
Mastering Engineer Latin Grammy Winner
I love the ability to independently choose harmonics and the signal path that is going to be affected, especially at the stereo image processing. Very versatile indeed and definitely usable in a mastering scenario.
Leo Abrahams
Producer (Editors, Ghost Poet, Carl Barat, James)
It’s shockingly easy to make big improvements instantly with Hype.
James Kenosha
Producer (Birdy, Rhodes)
HYPE is fantastic for adding depth and excitement to almost any source lives on all of my tracks, it even does the job on the Master channel.
Damien Fellows / Insomniax)
Music Producer Sklart Massive
It’s a really cool plug-in. If used on clipped or limited beats, you can add the bits that are lacking whether lows or highs with balance, without increasing meter gain which is really interesting.
Crossbone T
Head Engineer Mixing/Mastering at Super Sonics HQ (The Anchoress, Maverick Sabre, Verb T)
I love how this thing can do both clean & super dirty, making it useful for pretty much anything you throw at it.
