I'm waiting to see if the alleged image based synthesis will emerge in version 2. If it does I'll probably jump on board and you'd have another customer Simon

Cycle is a PITA to program, and I wouldn't call an online tutorial and an in-synth help, or whatever, a Manual. But at this stage this is not the main issue for me. The real problem is that it keeps crashing on me: changing presets, rendering... everything is an excuse to crash the damn thing

. At some point I'll consider reinstall it, or just deinstall and forget it (came in the Beat magazine cover disk); but for now I'm just curious: does it crash on someone else's system?

Win 7, Reaper 64

Edit: the 32bit version, wrapped, rendered without problem. Will dig more into this, later.

Wow, this thread is old, LAZARUS COME FORTH

! I'm giving Cycle another try (after having dismissed it due to experiencing innumerable Cubase crashes last Spring). It's such a cool looking synth, and in the time I do get to mess with it I'm getting really interesting programming from it. It's just a shame there isn't a real manual, and the crashes just sink it for me. Were there a new, even relatively bug free upgrade, I'd literally throw my money at Amaranth.

Doesn't crash for me, never has. I hope Daven hasn't given up on it, it's a beautiful thing.
I went there yesterday checking for updates on what was happening.
Awfully stagnant

Then I deeply envy you. Cycle is an astonishing instrument, but if it crashes my computers left and right, I can't justify its purchase. And I know for a fact that I'm far from alone on this.

What's daunting to me is the fact that the site is mostly dead...it's almost as though the developer (I think his name is Devon) gave up, or perhaps is simply massively busy in the "real world".

I'd really like to buy Cycle, but only when a Cycle 2 removes the crashes. It's not like Xfer or Synthmaster, where the developer tries to stay right on top of any current problems and offers updates constantly in order to satisfy customers. In comparison, Amaranth is truly a ghost developer. It's unfortunate, as the synth is potentially one of the best in my eyes (and I own TONS of v.i.s).

Apostate
i think, it s not is full time job, it s normal but he have a lot of talent in concept and sound design (and programing too !
he "must" work for Melda, synapse or u-he

but he does what he wants, and i rsp that !

Have not heard a thing all year. I suspect the developer is MIA.

At least Skrillex thinks Cycle is rad

I think it's pretty cool too if it didn't crash so much. Sound wise, I've gotten things out of it that I've yet to squeeze out of any other synth.

Stability makes it almost unusable.

I assume you're on the latest version? I had crashes a while back but they've been fixed as far as I could tell.

But yeah, I wish he was more active. I wonder what's up. It's such an amazing synth and must have taken a ton of work to develop. It would be a shame to leave it at that.
