    A welcome addition to the AU list. Cyclop is a raging lunatic and I love it even more for that. Plus how can you not love a synth app that has a built-in arcade game?

    Here’s to hoping that Factory and Aparillo find their way to iOS land.

    The Aparillo UI seems custom built for iOS, and the orbiter would work perfectly.

    Obscurium would be good too.

    Tiny interface gets even tinier.

    I've only got Thesys from the SB stuff, and I'm not a fan of their interface design. Wish they'd discover vector graphics. If you look closely you'll see the text in their apps is blurry. That's because they are using pictures of text, rather than real text generated by the OS. Web developers stopped doing this about 20 years ago.

    SynthMaster One also falls into this category. Not just the text, but some of the knobs too. Though, oddly, the desktop version UI does not.

    They seem to have paid more attention to their interfaces over their last few plugins. I've got Aparillo and Looperator for desktop, not sure if they are vector, but they both look great on my 4K display. Pretty sure Factory is the same. Maybe one day they'll upgrade the rest.

  • The AU works really well, loaded up a couple of instances and CPU usage was pretty low.

    It’s a strange synth, but always appealed to me.

  • Could that be true? While turning the amount knob, the morphing in the wobble amount view is not visualized? It changes only from A to B, without morphing.

    Excellent! .. and so is the app!

    Best part is "...and I do not regret it!" good, and you won't.

    Have fun! n Enjoy!

  • Loving the Cyclop AU. Did a thing with it last night. Good old Sugar Bytes.

    Contacted SugarBytes - the bug will be solved in the next update. A-B-Morphing is out of order.

  • Yeah fingers crossed they'll release the rest of their catalog as AU, they just take on a new lease of life in this format. I wasn't a big fan of cyclop as a standalone, but with the automation and sample import you can create some great stuff with this.

    An update [v1.3.1] is in the store.

    The only difference I can see to the last one is the first paragraph is split into 2. Huh!
    So have no idea what that’s (update) all about... and I’m not gonna guess. If anyone updates and notices anything, do drop a line, cheers.

    (In a case like this, no news would be good news)

    Every thing is fine again. Thanks SugarBytes.!!😌

    Again I say: Oh. My. God! It’s like Christmas. In July! Checked out the getting started page, saw there’s a vim plugin, just started giggling uncontrollably. My wife already thinks I’m on a nerd level she can’t relate to, this just may put me over the top. And a new SunVox version just dropped too. Damn, there goes my Sunday!

    Since I got into this shit I’ve not even looked down.

    I actually wrote myself a Haskell library with a ‘Music’ datatype and associated helper functions that allows me to to perform ‘Harmonic arithmetic’ on music data structures with the basic arithmetic operators (along with a bunch of extra pitch class analysis stuff). I have a second module close behind which is titled ‘The Harmonic Algorithm’ and allows me to generate Harmonic progressions based on the current and previous Harmonic ‘states’ and the training data which I’ve learned the recommender on (I’ve been using JS Bach chorale harmonisations).

    Yes, that’s our kitchen behind my studio — I live in Dublin and rents are very expensive here!!

    If you get into it was can share modules with mappings for different iOS apps on here. Yesterday I finally got my full mixers & sends in BM3 and AUM all mapped to functions and I’ll be giving Egoist the treatment later — I’m giving a talk on it this weds to the local Haskell meetup group and have some fun ideas for Egoist there!

  • Is Cyclop still the way to go in 2020 to create dubstep sounds (big bass)? Any alternatives?

  • The UI is tiny. But tons of modulation and can make wild sounds. 'Digital sounding' though. More like a 'special effects bass'.

  • I bought it a couple years ago (I think a sale tempted me), and while I basically do not understand how to use it, it is pretty damned cool. Some of the bass sounds are so powerful/crazy that I've sampled one-shots out into a Model:Samples or Volca Sample.

    For dubstep (which I'm no expert in), it has to be one of the best options still, just because of the time sync options. The GUI isn't ideal for touchscreen, but at least it's designed with dubstep in mind.

  • Some people says that Massive is the best synth for dubstep. Is there a Massive like synth on iOS? The reviews about Cyclop are not so good :(

  • What type of sound are you looking for?

    A highly-modulated metallic sound through sequenced FX?

    • Modulate a synth's parameters with sync'ed LFOs and lots of DAW automation.
    • Effectrix or Looperator for sequenced FX.
    • WOOTT and a sidechain compressor for that 'in-your-face' sound.
    • Modulated distortion/filter/resonator FX helps too.

    But Cyclop has all that in 1 app - it's deep, takes time to learn, and the UI is too small, but it's 'do-able'.

  • @Sequencer1 said:

    Exactly. Cyclop seems to be more suited with a PC. In the other hand, I cannot find a better sounding synth for the type of sound I am looking for. I was hoping for an expected answer. A synth that I don't know, more cheaper. Maybe with mirack?

    A friend of mine told me that Cyclop + iPad mini is not a good match with the small screen.

  • I used Cyclop on a Mini 2 and it was painful. On the 10.5" it's a little better. Too bad Cyclop doesn't have the zoom option like Thesys.

    Try Unique, also by Sugar Bytes. There are 2 on the App Store. One for iPad ($15) and another for iPhone ($5). The AUv3 plugins for both are identical. Only the standalones are different in size.

  • We should talk about Cyclop more. I really like it.

  • Love this lil monster - It’s got a great sound with an interface that rewards exploration.
