cykle vs BLEASS Megalit

cykle is an inventive, semi-generative melodic step sequencer for iOS, iPadOS and Mac (Catalyst). cykle abstracts every musical parameter into its own sequence using decoupled sequencer lanes, producing complex and musically engaging patterns from the interactions between simple elements. nb: cykle does not make sound by itself, you will need to connect it to a MIDI-compatible synthesizer app on your device, load it in an AUv3-compatible host (such as Logic Pro, Audiobus or AUM), or connect it to an external synthesizer, computer or any other MIDI-compatible sound generating device. features: - universal app (works on both iPhone and iPad) - works in both portrait and landscape mode - works as an Audio Unit (AUv3) MIDI plugin or as a standalone (CoreMIDI) app - sample-accurate sequencing engine - slick and responsive native UI - pattern snapshots selectable via MIDI input - song mode / pattern chaining - pitch playable by MIDI note input (arp and chord modes) - configurable tempo, scale and key - every channel can be routed to a separate MIDI destination and channel - every channel sends MIDI note- and pitch-bend data as well as an arbitrary number of MIDI continuous control (CC) messages - full AUv3 state- and preset-saving - randomization features - save and load patterns - decoupled sequencer lanes for the following parameters: - pulse - pitch - rest - step length - chance - velocity - accent - gate length - chance - ratchet (note repeat) - accidental (flatten/sharpen) - transpose - chord inversion - octave - harmonize - pitch bend - mappable MIDI CC values (e.g., filter cutoff, resonance, envelope, etc.) sequences can be instantly transformed by the following actions: - shift left/right/up/down - rotate - randomize - mutate - mirror - reverse - double - bisect - configurable clock division rate per sequencer lane - configurable playback mode per sequencer lane (forward, backward, random, jump) - MIDI clock output - Ableton Link support - works without internet connection - no push notifications - no ads or in-app purchases - no third-party behavioural tracking tools - ongoing development and support

With its blend of wavetable and classic subtractive oscillators, flexible filtering and post-processing, and an extensive set of advanced modulation sources, BLEASS Megalit provides sound designers with a vast palette of timbral tints, shades, and colours to explore. Thanks to BLEASS' super-intuitive interface design, that entire sonic palette is within easy reach of even the most non-technical musicians. Megalit includes many innovations that will empower your sound designs: * Advanced wavetable oscillators with independent wavetable position and Fold controls across more than 130 wavetables. * Per-oscillator Unison mode for creating rich, layered sounds without loading additional synth instances. * Dedicated noise generator with high-pass and low-pass filters for flexible non-tonal sounds and sound components. * Resonant high-pass and low-pass filters, plus built-in Waveshaper and Bit Crusher processors for powerful sound shaping. * Four LFOs with independent timing curves and output smoothing for highly detailed modulation. * Advanced Motion Sequencer for creating complex repeating modulation patterns. * Per-patch performance controller response curves for expressive and predictable playability. * Built-in preset randomizer that generates inspiring, usable sounds at the touch of a button. * Built-in multiband upward/downward compressor for precise control over dynamics, punch, and presence. All of Megalit's parameters, settings, and controls are presented with intuitive visual feedback, so you always know exactly what the synth is doing. Despite its immense sonic capabilities, Megalit remains exceptionally CPU-efficient, leaving plenty of headroom for additional instruments, effects, or simply more instances of Megalit. BLEASS Megalit is available as an AUv3 plug-in or standalone app. Also available for Windows and Mac. More information: https://www.bleass.com/megalit
