Season, would it be possible for you (or anyone) to clarify what this means? To receive the license for Hypersonic 2 when you buy and register Halion Sonic? If Hypersonic 1 and 2 have long since been discontinued, what is the purpose of these licenses being provided in Halion Sonic? And are these licenses for Hypersonic 1/2 included in the newer Halion Sonic 2?
Halion Sonic 3, has some patched that look like Hypersonic 1 or 2 patches. But you will have to hunt them in the library and there is no to noe connection with Hypersonic. The sounds can sound the same, but you have to search the whole HalionSonic3 Library to find them piece by piece.
So there is no exact the same Hypersonic patches in HalionSonic. Alltouht some sounds might sound the same.
I know this post is old, but a Comment: Originally HALion One was said to cover all the sounds dropped from Hypersonic 2 (never made sense to me to write out a VSTi from service, let alone for $270, in 05), yet I never could find a single title or sample edits of important patches were the same at all, after searching 1st HALion One, and then as HALion One phased out., HALion SE.
Well said. To discontinue a VST instrument is a complete disaster for those of us with extensive numbers of songs and film cues that used Hypersonic. It was an excellent instrument with extremely useful atmospheric sounds (I write film music) and the loss is accutely felt.
The developer of Hypersonic was Wizoo, which is now AIR Music Technology. The history of Wizoo evolving to AIR Music Technology is complex, but it involved a period under Digidesign/Avid ownership. I suspect that Steinberg or Wizoo/Digidesign used some contractual mechanism to end the relationship, meaning that Hypersonic 2 was the last version and sales eventually ceased.
Even if the licensing headaches could be overcome, there is unlikely to be sufficient interest in Hypersonic to justify the costs of updating and re-releasing a virtual instrument based on seventeen-year-old technology. The reality is that all software has a lifespan unless it continues to evolve, meaning that products that were once expensive get dropped.
It is always best to write stems before archiving old projects. Going forward, you either need to run Hypersonic on suitably old hardware, run it on a virtual machine, sample it or find a replacement.
Commercial support for business users of HSQLDB is available from the HyperXtremeSQL web site. A higher-performance database engine based on HSQLDB, with several additional features such as extended OLAP, the PL/HXSQL procedural language and COMPACT memory tables is also available from that site.
HSQLDB supports the widest range of SQL Standard features seen in any open source database engine: SQL:2023 core language features and an extensive list of SQL:2023 optional features. It supports full Advanced ANSI-92 SQL with only two exceptions. Many extensions to the Standard, including syntax compatibility modes and features of other popular database engines, are also supported.
Recent releases added support for JSON constructor functions as well as direct CSV data load and unload. Temporal system-versioned tables keep all the data changes over time, allowing queries to view historic snapshots and, with PERIOD predicates, data changes over any period of time. Fine-grained row-level access control governs visibility and permissions on rows of data. Log-based synchronization keeps replicas in sync.
Support for Java 8 java.time classes in JDBC, table spaces for disk-based tables, UUID type for columns, SYNONYM for tables and functions, and auto-updated TIMESTAMP columns on row updates, are some of the recent features. Other features include: The ability to cancel long-running statements from JDBC as well as from admin sessions. UTF-16 file support for text table sources. MySQL compatibility for REPLACE, INSERT IGNORE and ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements.
The database performance test package PolePosition compares the performance of relational and object databases for storing objects. We ran the PolePosition 0.4 tests with HSQLDB 2.2.6 embedded and server (both with disk tables with sync-on-commit), Apache Derby embedded and MySQL+InnoDB server. See the results, which show the query processing improvements since HSQLDB 2.0
HyperSQL is developed and published by the The HSQL Development Group. The group was formed in 2001 and has released several major versions of the database over the years. Version 2.0 was released in 2010 with a brand new transactional core engine and JDBC implementation. The engine has been developed much further in version 2.7.
adamvee I was wondering if support also said something about the use of the extra hypermodules (US-1 Ultra Synthesizer, GP-2 Grand Pianos and NB-3 Tonewheel Organ)?
I own an original Hypersonic 2 license + NB-3. I also own a Halion 5/Halion Sonic 2 license, but I only see the NB-3 module.
For the record, I know, loading 2 instances of Hypersonic will show all hypermodules.
So let me ask this, if I have a copy of a Hypersonic 1 or 2 Demo CD, will it allow me to install those demos and it recognize my HS2 license and activate the demos, making them fully functional? Just curious.
If you purchase Halion Sonic, you can get all of the previous licenses. I bought a second hand educational version off eBay and registered it and the licenses showed up on my Steinberg Key for Hypersonic 1, Hypersonic 2, Halion, and Halion Sonic.
Halion Sonic 3/Halion 6 and Halion Symphonic Orchestra already include almost all of the Hypersonic 2 content in higher quality, with more samples across the keyboard, much more velocity layers and many articulations. The worst sounds have been replaced with Yamaha Motif XF sounds.
Next time I reload song - all instruments are forgotten in Hypersonic and I can say I hardly managed to get Hypersonic to work. It does not work on WinVista so I moved to Win7 [that is perfect system now]. Good choice.
Thanks! Btw, one more important VST questions: does it work finally well but with Edirol Orchestral vst? It is 32bit here [it starts even on my x64 Win7] but forgets all instruments selected, and all other controls. Even does not help saving state [as it seems like it does not have that option that works]. Will Edirol work normally when full version of jBridgev1.5?
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday visited a university run by the aerospace division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran, where a more advanced version of the Fattah hypersonic missile was put on display along with an array of arms, including the Iranian-made Gaza drone.
The Iranian state media said the Fattah II missile is a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), a projectile that glides to its target after the initial launch, offering substantially more maneuverability compared to a ballistic warhead travelling in a more predictable arc pattern.
No more information was provided on the upgraded version on Sunday, but Iran had said Fattah is capable of moving at a speed of up to Mach 15 (5.1 km or 3.2 miles per second) with a range of 1,400km (870 miles).
Based on subsequent studies, the U.S. Department of Defense and Japan Ministry of Defense decided to initiate a Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) Cooperative Development program as an important part of implementation for the 2023 U.S.-Japan bilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Projects (RDT&E).
The development of a counter-hypersonic capability is a pressing need for both countries to address challenges in the Indo-Pacific region, including the emergence of offensive hypersonic and other sophisticated missile capabilities for potential acts of coercion. The GPI co-development will build upon long-standing U.S.-Japan missile defense cooperation and strengthen the Alliance deterrence posture.
BrahMos-II or BrahMos-2 or BrahMos Mark II is a hypersonic scramjet-propelled missile currently under joint development by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia, which have together formed BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited. The BrahMos-II is expected to have a range of 1,500 kilometres (930 mi; 810 nmi)[1] and a speed of Mach 8. During the cruise stage of flight, the missile will be propelled by a scramjet airbreathing jet engine.[2][3] Other details, including production cost and physical dimensions of the missile, are yet to be published.[4][5][1]
The planned operational range of the BrahMos-II had initially been restricted to 290 kilometres as Russia is a signatory to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which prohibits it from helping other countries develop missiles with ranges above 300 kilometres (190 mi; 160 nmi). However, subsequent to India becoming a MTCR signatory in 2014, the parameters for Brahmos 2 will get enhanced.[6] Its top speed will be double that of the current BrahMos-I, and it has been described as the fastest cruise missile in the world.[7]
According to reports published in April 2023, India has requested Russia to transfer the technology (ToT) of the Russian 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missile on which the BrahMos-II (K) will be based upon.[13][14][15]
In this report, the Congressional Budget Office analyzes the hypersonic weapons being developed by the U.S. military and compares them with less expensive existing or potential weapons that might fill similar roles, such as ballistic missiles or cruise missiles. CBO reached the following conclusions:
