Turn Any Loop into Glitchy, Granular Ear Candy
A potent well of motion, texture, and color, Baby Audio’s HyperWarp is a time-bending granular multi-effect plugin for crafting cutting-edge sounds with delightfully unexpected results. It breaks incoming audio into microscopic grains and reassembles them according to a drawable graph. The graph handles speed shifts, stutters, and direction changes, allowing you to build engaging rhythmic sequences, half-time edits, vinyl-esque scratches, and tape stops. HyperWarp features seven sound profiles, each with its own character, supported by Modulation, Physics, Grain Size, and Stereo Width controls. Per-grain Warp controls cover Pitch, Resolution, Scatter, and Feedback. You also get Lock and Randomize for fast experimentation, along with stepped and curved graph randomizers, breakpoint and step-draw editing, graph Length and Quantize settings, and Amount and Skew transforms. Moreover, HyperWarp includes 190 presets, a global Mix slider, and a Band split filter that further refines the wet/dry blend. With HyperWarp, you control time, making it easy to reassemble your loops and stems into glitchy, granular sound design material.

Seven ways to warp
HyperWarp includes seven profiles, each with its own character. Clean Warp offers crisp temporal manipulation with independent pitch and time. Flange Warp melds tight grains with squeaky effects, with complete control over time and pitch. Degrade Warp delivers lo-fi time disruption with a granular twist. Filter Spam combines per-grain filter motion with unpredictable random behavior. Harmo-Nicer is a harmonic density builder with pitch-shifted grains. Fauxcoder is a resonant harmonic generator that yields classic vocoder-style effects. Lo-Fizzly delivers granular digital downsampling. In addition, the seven profiles are bolstered by four macro controls — Modulation, Physics, Grain Size, and Stereo Width — affecting parameters deep within the plugin’s granular engine. Sweetwater’s sound design aficionados have enjoyed adding modulation, pitch shifting, expressive filter motion, and more to sonic textures as we explore HyperWarp’s mind-bending range of effects.
