Hypercyclic is an innovative MIDI arpeggiator, gate effect, and step sequencer driven by LFOs, designed to transform sustained MIDI chords into dynamic rhythmic patterns. It functions as both a VST and Audio Unit plugin for digital audio workstations as well as a standalone application. The plugin is acclaimed for balancing between chaos and order, introducing controlled randomness and syncopation that realigns perfectly with bar and beat divisions, offering a fresh approach to MIDI manipulation.

Primarily, Hypercyclic generates MIDI output that can be recorded or routed to other instruments, enhancing creative possibilities in music production. It includes a simple built-in synthesizer for quick sound testing and employs two tempo-synced LFOs to modulate various parameters, producing rich rhythmic textures and chord variations. A standout feature is the ability to modulate the sequencer’s step size itself, enabling glitch-like stutters and complex rhythmic effects that add depth to compositions.

Additional functionality includes a groove mode that introduces subtle timing shifts for a natural, humanized feel. The groove parameters can also be modulated via LFOs, increasing rhythmic diversity and movement over time. With the latest update supporting 64-bit systems, Hypercyclic integrates seamlessly into modern production environments, making it an essential tool for musicians seeking to push the boundaries of MIDI sequencing and rhythmic creativity.
