Soundyan Hyperstellar FXHyperstellar FX is a spectral freeze effect that turns a moment of any sound into an endless, breathing layer. It always listens to the last few seconds of the input. Press FREEZE and the spectral engine holds the sound as a living tail of partials: no loop point, no clicks, no audible repetition. Up to four freeze layers can play at once, each with its own level, pan and DRIFT, fading in and out on their own. Stack them under the dry signal or let them replace it. The ORBIT sequencer freezes and releases the layers one after another in time with the host: in rounds, as a one-shot build-up, or triggered by your playing. A single phrase grows into a slowly turning harmony. The frozen sound never stands still. The SPECTRAL controls (BEATS, AMP, SPARKLE, SNAP, DARKEN, STRETCH) keep the partials moving, and per-layer filters shape each layer before and after the freeze. The signal then runs through AQUA, an underwater wobble modelled on the water moving inside a waterphone, a tone-shaped delay, a shimmer reverb with its own pitch, voices, band, chorus and climb controls, and a look-ahead limiter. 4 LFOs, 4 drawable envelopes, input level and pitch followers and a mod matrix can modulate any knob, including its range. Every knob can be MIDI-learned from a CC and every FREEZE button from a CC or a note, so the layers can be played from a foot controller or a keyboard. Hyperstellar FX was created by Sławek Janus of Soundyan, a maker of handcrafted waterphones, originally for his own acoustic instruments. It works great on anything that comes into the plugin: guitar, voice, synths, field recordings.
