Description

CYCLES includes 100 preset engine states to help find inspiration and aid exploration. Each of these transforms the engine into a different set of parameters, settings, and modulation, creating an entirely new world of sound in which a loop or sample is then performable. This produces a huge palette of tens of thousands of unique processed loops and textures, existing anywhere from energetic pulses and plucks to rich cinematic ambiences.

Slate + Ash Cycles Review

musictech.com

Cycles from Slate + Ash is a rich, multifaceted instrument that excels in granular synthesis and loop manipulation, offering musicians an expansive sound design palette. Its robust preset collection and user-friendly interface make it accessible, while the ability to load custom samples adds versatility. However, the learning curve can be steep due to its complexity, which might overwhelm some users. Despite this, the rewarding sonic explorations and live performance potential are undeniable. Overall, Cycles stands out for those willing to dive deep, but it may not be for everyone.
