## What is Cyclop for iPad?

Cyclop is a monophonic synthesizer. It does one thing very well: delivering cutting-edge digital madness at the low end of the frequency spectrum to unleash monstrous bass sounds to the mobile world.

Cyclop is the master of subs, beautifully controlling even the lowest notes, always sounding stomach-rumblingly thick. It 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.

Enjoy an incredible depth of sound design possibilities, great real-time control with the Wobble Knob and FX knob. Integrated effects sequencer, vast modulation system and the preset browser will take your inspiration to new levels.

It’s big, bad and beautiful! These guys can give master classes in app design. Really, they’re approaching evil genius territory. This is one of the most beautiful apps I’ve ever seen! I only understand about 8 percent of it but I don’t care… I just love the aesthetics!!

90s shoegaze artist Bleikr Sound uses the Windows version.  Instrument was played extensively on David Bowie’s last album.

### 5/5 — Good looking synth

*2020-10-25, version 1.3.7*

Looks so futuristic on the iPad. Haven’t got a clue how to really program this beast but fortunately it has some great sounds in the presets which I just tweak to suit. Be good to have a more downloadable presets for simpletons like me.

### 5/5 — Bigger search window

*2020-04-28, version 1.3.4*

Really no complaints, some ui changes to make more visible on iPad Pro

### 5/5 — I like it but I do not know how to use it.

*2020-03-12, version 1.3.4*

Sounds are amazing. Stability. Beautiful UI. No! More than a beautiful UI. Cyclop is the library of weird sounds. Lots of presets which is great because I do not know how to create a preset from scratch. It is very complicated process. But I have been learning and looking the videos and one day I might discover all of its secrets. 
I would recommend this synth for everybody.
