Hehe, I think Cyclop is quite fun to use but yeah, to be honest I don't use it at all

I wasn't fond of the presets when I bought it. Fortunately I checked youtube for tutorials and there were a couple then. There's a bit more now that can show you in detail how to use this synth. You can't judge this synth on the presets. I think it's a good synth for you to use if you program your own patches. It's even layed out rather logically. If you've already bought it why not give it a try?
Here are some good tutorials that explain, rather than just throw something together without any explanations:
DJ Vespers (much shorter tutorial)

Music Marketing TV - rather complete

There is also a IOS clone, straight port as far as I can tell, that was down to €15 in Xmas sale. Works best with tiny fingers or iPad Pro though (I have neither!)
But you get the sound, the FM parts are interesting and the unison stack sounds good.

You know, I'm reading a lot of these comments and it's just sad. Cyclop, if you really dive into it, is a very complex synth. In fact, it might be one of the most complex sound generation synths out there. You have control over so many things in such a nice, tight interface.
I know I'll be using it quite a lot and not just for wub, wub, wub.

Absolutely terrible synth, very very weak at what it is designed specifically for, creating a good heavy usable Neuro on this thing is much more work and so much thinner than Massive/Serum/Harmor (note, out of those three i only kept Massive, the other two where overkill for that style and no better than Massive)
Duh
