Mega Plug-in Bundle Combining Classic Synthesis and Effects
Plug-in synthesis enthusiasts everywhere know all about the name Cycling '74 (except maybe what it means), particularly for giving incredible value and numerous synthesis options, such as the myriad of possibilities offered by Pluggo. Now, Cycling '74 offers a new bundle: Combine classic synthesis and effects technique with state-of-the-art performance control and you get Cycling 74 Mode plug-in set for RTAS, VST, and Audio Units.

Cycling '74 Mode at a Glance:
  • 5 featured synth plug-ins with arpeggiators, effects and simplified control of complex systems.
  • 18 "submodule" plug-ins.

Mode Featured Synths
Developed by the CreativeSynth team, the Mode plug-ins are unlike anything you've heard--deep basses, soaring lead lines and bizarre percussion, processed by synchronized effects and even a looper's paradise of delay lines.

Cycling 74 Mode features user-friendly arpeggiators, integrated synth effects and simplified control of complex systems. As a result, Cycling '74 Mode opens creative doors previously seen only in the best hardware devices. By allowing you to mix-and-match instrument engines and effects from the various Cycling '74 Mode plug-ins, you have unrivaled flexibility in creating your sound in your way.

Cycling '74 Mode featured plug-ins include:
Cycling '74 Mode POLY: A polyphonic synthesizer featuring a classic digital/analog hybrid synthesis engine. This instrument comes complete with an integrated chorus and delay effects so that the presets (and your programming) are both compelling and inspiring. Add to that our unique poly-arpeggiator that combines ease-of-programming with a unique playback style. POLY is the perfect cure for stale background tracks.

Cycling '74 Mode MONO: A dual 2-op FM engine gives this synth a ripping sound. Include a full-featured arpeggiator, unique "you-draw-it" distortion curve and sweet stereo delay and you have a monosynth that delivers everything from jangling leads to sub-killing bass.

Cycling '74 Mode BANG: When you need the perfect percussion sound, Bang provides sample playback, FM and analog percussion voices with a mixer and built-in effects to boot. A complex triple-DADSR envelope system allows you to create mini sequences as well as single drum beats. Each voice includes interesting application-specific tweakable controls to take your percussion sounds into another dimension.

Cycling '74 Mode SPIN: Time-synchronized effects are a staple of modern production, but straight eighth notes can be a drag. Spin provides sync in 32nd note steps from 1/32 to 4 measures in length. If you want some effect to sync, try an analog modeled filter, auto-panner, digital delay and our unique volume sequencer. Toss in an overdrive and bit-reduction effect, and you have an unsurpassed multi-effect with the convenience of host synchronization.

Cycling '74 Mode WASH: With WASH, you get to mix six digital delays, and 8x8 patch bay and a mixer into one plug-in with unrivaled performance control. Tap in a delay time or select on a per-channel basis, you get up to 10 seconds of delay time with each delay line. The delay channels can be "locked" for perpetual looping, and you can even do sound-on-sound recording with each line. Truly a looper's best friend...

The Modules
In addition to POLY, MONO, BANG, SPIN and WASH, the Cycling '74 Mode package includes 18 plug-in "modules" culled from these devices. They include tasty filters, warm delays, harsh distortion effects and CPU-saving "mini" versions of the main plug-ins. The additional 18 "submodule" plug-ins take the effects, performance controls and instrument sections of the five featured devices and provide them as stand-alone plug-ins. This allows for mix-and-match sound creation, modulation, filtering and effects similar to modular synthesis environments.

Cycling'74 Mode Submodules Include:

Cycling'74 Mode BANG-ANA: A percussion instrument created from the analog emulation section of the BANG percussion synth. It uses very little CPU, and includes 80 pounding analog-style presets.

Cycling'74 Mode BANG-FM: The FM section of BANG split off as a stand-alone percussion synth. With 128 optimized presets and low CPU usage, this is a great collection of pinging and rattling percussion sounds.

Cycling'74 Mode BANG-SAMP: Tweaked sample percussion synthesis, with 128 usable presets and easy-to-adjust settings. Another low-CPU instrument that can fill a lot of space.

Cycling'74 Mode BANG-DELAY: A true stereo delay effect with cool modulation effects and an analog-style feedback system. BANG-DELAY is a great addition to your delay arsenal.

Cycling'74 Mode BANG-FILTDIST: Combining the gritty distortion and warm multi-state filter from BANG, as well as a volume and pan control, this effect can be used for everything from gain adjustment to outright mayhem.

Cycling'74 Mode MONO-ARP: Using the modulation mechanism made popular by the original Pluggo package, MONO-ARP allows you to control any Mode (or Pluggo) parameter with your keyboard. Add the MONO arpeggiator for time-sync'd performance, and you can find yourself flinging parameters with aplomb.

Cycling'74 Mode MONO-MINI: Remove the arpeggiator and effects from MONO, and you get an efficient but powerful FM monosynth with 64 optimized presets and a bright, screaming sound. Perfect for when you need to save a bit of CPU, or use other performance and effects processors.

Cycling'74 Mode MONO-DELAY: The stereo delay provided with MONO has a warm feedback filter that allows for high feedback settings with an analog-style roar. An excellent creative delay with ease-of-use at its core.

Cycling'74 Mode MONO-DISTFILT: Take the "draw-your-own" distortion/waveshaper, add the state-variable filter, and you have a sonic munger useful for almost any hard-edged music. Since the waveshaper bit-reduces everything to 8-bit, you can make almost any "smooth" sound harsher and brighter.

Cycling'74 Mode POLY-MINI: By removing the PolyArp and effects from the main POLY instrument, Cycling'74 Mode POLY-MINI reduces the CPU load on your host system while still providing 64 "best-of" presets from POLY.

Cycling'74 Mode POLY-CHORUS: The chorus effect in POLY is particularly warm, and has been provided as a standalone chorus effect with simple controls and that just-right sound.

Cycling'74 Mode POLY-LFO: Another "modulator" effect, POLY-LFO uses POLY's natural LFO-Designer to modulate any Mode (or Pluggo) parameter. Tired of "same-old" triangle LFO shapes? Use the 6-step sequencer and smoothing controls to get a wealth of interesting but musical waveform moving your faders.

Cycling'74 Mode SPIN-DELAY: Using SPIN's 32nd-note clock, SPIN-DELAY allows you to clock a simple but effective delay to any note value from 1/32nd to 4 measures. Brutally effective for interweaving lead lines and keyboard comps.

Cycling'74 Mode SPIN-DIST: One overdrive circuit + one bit-reduction effect = a wide variety of distorting effects. Only two sliders, but a killer distortion tool.

Cycling'74 Mode SPIN-FILTER: Combining SPIN's effective clocking system with a smooth state-variable filter gives you everything from warbling tremolo to faux phasing effects. Especially effective when combined with SPIN-DELAY (clocked at a different step-length), you can use these tools to create your custom Vortex of Doom.

Cycling'74 Mode SPIN-PAN: A simple auto-panner clocked with SPIN's clocking mechanism, SPIN-PAN can add life to almost any track.

Cycling'74 Mode SPIN-SEQ: When is a gapper more than a gapper? When each step is a volume control rather than an on/off switch. You can use SPIN-SEQ to do everything from re-accenting drum loops to pulsing pads in sync with your song. Incredibly versatile, and a lot of fun.

Cycling'74 Mode WASH-1CHAN: Sometimes WASH might be a bit much for what you need. In that case, Cycling'74 Mode's WASH-1CHAN gives you a single delay line with feedback locking, sound-on-sound recording and a tap tempo delay setup for any delay time between 1 ms and 10 seconds.
