Cycling '74 has announced the release of Hipno 1.0, a new suite of over forty effect and instrument plug-ins for VST, AU and RTAS host applications. The package features a mix of granular, spectral, and filter/delay-based plug-ins featuring the unique Hipnoscope user interface. Also included in the package is a set of processors that utilize live video input as a control source, and a new set of modulator plug-ins.

Some highlights of the Hipno collection include:

• Morphulescence: a cascaded bank of LFO-modulated morphing filters.
• Vsynth: a plug-in that uses a live video feed as the spectral source for synth inspirations.
• Deluge: a quartet of granular processing engines wrapped into one package.
• Shypht: a pitch-shifting effects system enlivened by pitch quantization, filtering, and feedback looping.
• VcolorTrack and Modulator Vmotion: a pair of modulator plug-ins to morph and control Hipno, Mode, or Pluggo plug-ins using video color or motion tracking.

In addition to the host-sync capabilities and the ability to use Cycling '74's modulator plug-ins for control, many of the Hipno plug-ins offer the unique Hipnoscope interface to create, control, and explore complex preset morphs and interpolations with a flick of the wrist.

Hipno will be available very soon for a MSRP of $199 from Cycling '74 and its retail dealers.
