HyperWarp is a time-bending granular multi-effect plugin from Baby Audio that breaks audio into grains and reassembles them to create motion, glitches and texture.
HyperWarp slices incoming audio into microscopic snapshots using a granular engine, then reorders them through a graph interface. Baby Audio built it for rhythmic stutters, half-time edits, tape-stop style moves and granular sound design. Seven effect profiles shape the character of each sequence, and each profile offers four macro controls. It suits producers who want to turn loops, stems and full tracks into glitchy chops or new textures.
The graph is the core of HyperWarp. You draw speed shifts, stutter steps and direction changes to build rhythmic sequences or smooth, time-warped motion. Precise half-time edits, sloping stutters and vinyl-style scratches are all made from the same panel.
At the grain level, you can adjust pitch, reshape resolution, add randomness and introduce feedback. Those per-grain controls let you move from subtle time manipulation to heavily processed results.
HyperWarp includes seven sound profiles: Clean Warp, Flange Warp, Degrade Warp, Filter Spam, Harmo-Nicer, Fauxcoder and Lo-Fizzly. Clean Warp handles crisp temporal manipulation with independent pitch and time, while Fauxcoder is a resonant harmonic generator reminiscent of classic vocoder effects.
Each profile has four purpose-built macro controls. Randomizers can create stepped or smooth graph shapes, and you can lock the parts you like before refining them with the macros.
Global wet/dry mix and band-narrowing filters on the effect signal help you blend extreme processing back into the original source.
