Cyclop is a monophonic synth plugin from Sugar Bytes built for bass sounds. It combines two sound generators, a Wobble Generator, a pattern-based FX sequencer and a deep modulation system in one instrument.
Cyclop is a monophonic synthesizer from Sugar Bytes, designed mainly for low-end and bass sounds. Its two sound generators cover spectral, digital and analog-style tones, and you can also use your own samples as a wavetable. A Wobble Generator modulates the synth and filter with tempo-synced waveforms, which suits rhythmic bass material. The plugin also includes an FX sequencer that draws on the rhythmic effect styles of Effectrix and Turnado.
Cyclop's power comes from its two sound generators. The developer describes them as covering spectral, digital and fat analog tones, and lets you load your own samples as a wavetable.
The synth is built around a 6x2 synthesizer section that includes a Sample Transformer and a Phase Stressor. A 10x2 filter section includes a Vowel Mode for formant-style filtering.
The Wobble Generator modulates the synth and filter with various waveforms at tempo-synced rates, which is the core tool for rhythmic bass patterns. A knob recorder lets you record automation along with your MIDI notes.
The modulation system offers control over 16 target parameters. Alongside the Wobble Generator, sources include an envelope, an LFO with 9 waveforms, a 16-step sequencer and the sound knob, for five modulators in total.
The FX section runs four sequencer lanes, each holding a different group of effects: pitch looper, looper with 8 lengths, vinyl effects and classic delays. The FX knob can be automated or controlled from the sequencer.
