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. |
