Sugar Bytes has introduced Cyclop for iPad – a synth designed for ‘monstrous bass sounds’.
Cyclop is a monophonic synthesizer that they say does one thing very well -‘delivering cutting-edge digital madness at the low end of the frequency spectrum’.
Cyclop uses mid/side processing to introduce stereo imaging between 250Hz and 4kHz. This ensures wide, interesting sounds that retain their punch and bass. There are no phasing issues, which means Cyclop cuts through the mix very nicely.
Here is the official video intro:
Features:
- Monophonic Bass Synthesizer
- 6×2 Synthesiser Engines, 10×2 Filter Engines
- Analog Sync, FM, Sample Transformer, Spectromat, Saw Regiment, Phase Stressor

If it’s Sugar Bytes then it’s got to have every inch of the screen real estate jammed packed.
I think I’ll wait for the half price sale.
sad part, is this came out 2 days after the last one last week
Don’t wait! This is a steal! The vst price is way higher. I was really hoping they would release this for reasons rack extension.
Monophonic softsynths are one of the stupidest things I know.
I get your point. Like they should just have a switchable monophonic mode. However, if the processes employed by the synth engine are particularly CPU heavy, and if a developer really was maximizing the power based on there only being one voice generated at a time, then it is justifiable.
I think for this synth, that is probably the case– especially for an iOS device where the CPU is more limited.
I think there is no doubt in anyones mind, that there are vast differences in processing power between different iPad generations.
And when the next one is, say, another doubling of power, this will still be a monosynth. Good news to iPad 2 and 3 owners, but stupid in general.
“Good news to iPad 2 and 3 owners, but stupid in general.”
I meant:
Indifferent news to iPad 2 and 3 owners, but stupid in principle.
I almost never use my Ipad for music anymore, but I can’t help myself every time a new SB app comes out.
oh cool, sound effect music. i can definately whistle that!
Sugar Bytes, you got the looks on apps, but for f***s sake take a glimpse to some usability books, please!
that’s what youtube is for
How do you fix too tiny or cramped controls with youtube? 😀
I like too tiny and cramped controls more, than having to browse between 10 pages of controls.
Fortunately iPad Pro is coming to rescue lumber jack synthetists.
There are other ways to have all options on one page than giving EVERYTHING its own button. This is a sad example of pigheaded skeuomorphism.
took you long enough to post, only knew about for a week
Released on April 14th, actually….
I bought Cyclop about a year ago and have hardly used it. Massive and Serum are way better for making DnB/Dubstep/Electro style, modulated basses. You can get some decent results out of Cyclop, but I’m just not a huge fan of the interface or the overall sound of it. Serum has pretty much taken over for me.
Amazing. Awesome. In awe of this monster. Get it.
