Cyclop has Landed

Monophonic, raw and unbelievably versatile. Cyclop is packed with tools for the bass of the future and beyond. Wobble Knob, FX Sequencer and a hilariously versatile sound engine will give you endless joy.

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 automation along with your MIDI notes.

Modulation Madness

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

Pattern-Based Sequencer with the FX Knob as Automatable Controller

The effect section is a mixture of Effectrix and Turnado flavours.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.
