The Cyclop Has Landed

Cyclop Structure

Essentially, the upper part of the instrument is the Modulation and FX area, while in the lower half you’ll find Synthesizer, Audio Routing, and Filters.

Cyclop is essentially controlled by a MIDI keyboard. Using the 4 Main knobs along with your performance will create vivid sounds, full of madness and vitality. A sound is created by setting the synthesis controls and assigning modulators.

There are always 16 assignable controls: 3 synth controls, 3 filter controls, 2 routing controls, master pitch and master level. Between synthesizers and filters you find the Routing module, where you can easily connect oscillators and filters in different ways.

The master effect section includes sub oscillator, bass processor, distortion and stereo imaging.

The effect sequencer is the last module in the signal path. It combines a 4-track sequencer with lots of effects.

Oscillators: Everything starts here…

Cyclop derives its power from the two sound generators. Spectral, digital, fat analog or use your own samples as a wavetable. These beasts do one thing very well: delivering cutting-edge digital madness at the low end of the frequency spectrum.

Wobble Knob

Cyclop will blow your mind. Wobble bass? Dubstep? Do something completely new!

Wobble expert: Rhythmical material is the special power of this synthesizer. The Wobble Generator modulates synth- & filter with various waveforms at tempo-synced rates.

The Knob Recorder allows to run automations along with your MIDI notes.

Modulation Madness

Cyclop includes an innovative modulation concept – deep and accessible.

Enjoy an incredible depth of sound design possibilities & great real-time control over 16 different target parameters. Along with the wobble generator, the more traditional sources like envelope, LFO (9 waveforms), a 16 step sequencer or the sound knob add up to five modulators.

Cyclop FX: Made To Impress

Explore a pattern-based sequencer with the FX knob as automatable controller.

The effect section is a mixture of Effectrix and Turnado flavors. The four sequencer lanes each hold a different group of effects. The multi effect can be controlled per the FX knob or via a sequencer. Rhythmical effects a lá Effectrix or Turnado at your fingertips – complex sound design becomes child’s play.

The Game

While Sugar Bytes created the Cyclop Robot logo, lots of funny little bots were drafted. So the idea to create a little shooting game came up, here you can see how it turned out.

Click the Cyclop robot logo to start the game. You can still play MIDI notes while the game is running.

The Game offers nice methods to just check random presets which are called when you shoot the little tank, and to create nice sounds by shooting enemies or letting them break through to create funny melodies according to the selected major/minor scale.
