Well hats off to Steinberg, they just sold me a copy of Hypersonic 2,I got a mail from them today saying they had a few left..Omg.. Thank you so much! I have a couple clients that we're requesting this,thanks! A special discounted price was very cool too,and Steinberg said they will offer support for it,but hurry the quantities are low! Cool

Hypersonic 2 is great but remember - You get NO SUPPORT from Steinberg, which mean that it will not be updated if it doesn't work with a new O/S version. Luckily, it DOES work perfectly in Vista 64, so hopefully it will work in Windows 7.

HS2 got some great sounds. in my opinion it is the best "software sound module"
when I'm working on a song I basicly use Triton Extreme, Trinity-rack and HyperSonic 2 for sounds.
The sounds that HS 2 is bad at Triton is good at, and vise versa.( i.e. I prefer Triton's or Trinity's strings much over Hypersonics.)
I also really like the quick edit knobs HS2 has, they are very useful!

The bad thing is you can't use all patches in HS2 if you're using CUbase 4: http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=96592&highlight=

Thanks Tones2,
Very cool about Vista64..Can't wait for HS2.I thought for sure that one was never gonna happen.Steinberg surprised me! Wink

By the way I love Hypersonic 2,a friend of mine owns it.I think it's amazingly quick and to me it sounds just like an old hardware rompler... And I like that type of sound,

m127,
I personally think cubase's embracer sounds good ,if you know what your doing!

Not a problem at all.One mans trash is another ones treasure, as cliché as that saying is,sorry I should chosen my reply a bit differently too..And yes the m1 Korg romplers are good no doubt.

question is.......would you buy cubase 4 if you knew there was never ever gonna be a cubase 5.

as much as i like hypersonic the way it was dumped is in excusable......and that is the reason i will never buy anymore steinberg plugins.

Steinberg sent me a letter explaining they will still support HS2.Here's what they wrote : And yes, even though it is discontinued, Steinberg is still offering support for Hypersonic 2, including the latest Universal Binary update for those of you with Intel-based Macs.

Actually I don't care if there's anymore updates or it get's developed any more as long as they can support it if I have any issues then I'm fine.The sounds and stability is what I'm after.I still have plugin's from 5 years ago that are working fine and that's all that's important to me.

As another example of Steinberg style...

V-Stack

LOL

around 7 years without updating the GUI at least. I think it still uses one similar to Cubase VST 5. Rolling Eyes

Kind of in a fix now. I was thinking to upgrade to Cubase 4 to cubase studio 4. But Hypersonic deals is so tempting. I have to chose one. Would anyone suggest which is worthy of an investment in the longrun? are the instruments in Cubase 4 as good as Hypersonic 2. Please advice me ASAP..
thanks for yout time..
New buyers please share your thoughts..

Thanks again..
