Version updates

Cyclop is a monophonic synthesizer. It does one thing very well: delivering cutting-edge digital madness at the low end of the frequency spectrum.

New version 1.3.1
Old version 1.3.0
Release Notes ••• Audio Unit v3 ••• (Attention: Please be aware that with this update already existing Inter-App Audio and Audiobus sessions won't work anymore!) We decided to drop native Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support and focus on what we think is the future for iOS. Thanks to AUv3 you now have a plugin interface that offers you the most features currently available. No longer switch between apps or rely on work-around solutions with extra steps and messy MIDI problems. Simply run Cyclop within your favourite iOS DAW just like you would on desktop. Go wild running multiple instances, record parameter changes in real time and automatically save/restore Cyclop's state within the host app. ••• iCloud Drive ••• Through iCloud, you'll be able to share your saved presets across multiple devices including your desktop computer.

Mimicking the layout of Hohner's iconic chromatic button accordions (CBA), both B-System (Bayan) and C-System, this intuitive virtual accordion is easy to play and sounds exactly like the real instrument.

New version 4.1.1
Old version 4.0.2
Release Notes Faster playing and audio quality improvements. New features: MIDI Control: The Treble sounds may be played via MIDI from a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI player or controller apps. Set the MIDI channel for the treble side using the "MIDI Channel" slider on the settings page. Lowest note is G3 (MIDI Note 55) Range is G3 through E6. Bass/Chord Shift: You can now transpose the bass and chords up or down by either zero or two semitones, effectively shifting the bass side up or down by two rows. This allows you to play songs that use chords not available in the basic layout, for example Em tunes that require Bm and F#m. For example, a shift of +2 means that the E bass and chord buttons now play F#, the A is a B, and D is an E. Note: When the bass side sound is transposed, the labels on the buttons do not change. This may be addressed in a future update. I added this feature after wanting to be able to play "Indifference" on the app, which required F#m. :-)
