This is a visual tour and demo of Xoxos Hyperion, an algorithmic sequencing VST.

Hyperion MIDI VST has a semi-modular structure suitable for a wide variety of tuned algorithmic applications. LFOs and counters are used to easily create dynamic MIDI sequences and change them on the fly, or to modulate other components of the architecture.

Hyperion produces glissandos or subtly varying sequences for up to three parts on three separate MIDI channels using a simple chord function. It can also be used as a phrase arpeggiator to make sure that you never play out of key or out of sequence.

Hyperion is available for $25. The demo is limited to bpm settings.

Xoxox has released Friction, a new VST designed to synthesizer friction effects:

The friction algorithm is combined with a 2nd order mass-spring and two waveguide resonances for flexible emulative application.

Presets include squealing tires, squeaky hinges and axles, ww2 bombs, swingsets, etc.

The license is $15 (or $10 for current customers). The demo removes some parameters.

Preview friction below. Note: it’s pretty painful:
