I think that the 12 hotkeys correspond to the 12 positions of the wobble knob.
In other words, I believe that you cannot set the wobble frequency for each hotkey.
One thing I can't explain is the 12th hotkeys remembering the "freeze" waveform selection and not the others...

Now it's time to Sugar Bytes to answer :D

It's a bug, just fixed it, the 1.0.1 update comes next week!

Currently only hotkey 12 recalls the waveforms. If you select a different waveform than "freeze", you can see that it recalls.

I have a feature on the list that will make it possible to have an
individual lfo-rate on each knob position.
This feature is scheduled for Cyclop 1.1.

Another Cyclop Tutorial just arrived!

I have some questions regarding the beast:

* Could you implement microtuning support? (scl/tun or manual tuning)
* Could you enable serial processing of synth modules? ie. I want to frequency modulate my PD sound, ATM the routing options do not cater to this.. This would vastly increase the sonic palette of Cyclop
* Lastly, I know this might go against your design philosophy, but polyphony support in some form (be it separate voices in separate instances or anything) would be desirable. I'm talking about something like 2-4 voices, just so that it'd be possible to play basic chords. I can hack it up by myself with M4L given some time but native support for this would perform better ;)

Looking forward to the update, I think I'm running into bugs (sometimes the synth module knobs stop responding to modulation.. haven't sussed out the details yet)

All in all, Cyclop is a refreshing kick in the nuts for all the "this VA sounds just like anal0g111" stuff out there.. It has its' own sound and it's own rules, and I applaud you for that! In the long run, the system could be a lil' bit more "tweakable" but I really love the concept so far.

Funny thing is, I was going to buy either the FM8 or Massive for doing these kinds of sounds, with their discount and all, but ended up ditching 'em both and spending the night with your one-eyed friend.. Needless to say it got pretty kinky :oops:

Guys I'm thinking about buying this softsynth, but I have a question about licensing.
I'm using 2 different DAWs, one on my stationary Win 7 PC, and one on my MacBook Pro.
Do I need to buy 2 instances of Cyclop?

Our license allows you to run it on 2 system.
So no problem here.

big task, can'tpromise but put into feature request list.

>* Could you enable serial processing of synth modules?
I think for what you want here, there is more needed than that. And that would propably make the overall usage a lot more complicated. Freqmodulated sounds should be at least basically handled by the FM synth.

>* Lastly, I know this might go against your design philosophy, but polyphony support
You already named it, it does not really fit to the whole modulation concept.
At least you can load up as many instances you want and go the hard way ;)

Best,
Robert

After buying it, I've really liked cyclop. It doesn't quite sound like anything else I have. Especially when I run it through my moog minitaur :)
