无尽的抽象循环
CYCLES 是一个创新而强大的循环操控和粒子合成环境。通过各种独特的交互式流程，可将音频即时分解并重构为无数拼贴的循环、可演奏的纹理、调制节奏、生成序列和可播放的打击垫。
用 LOOPS + GRAINS 重塑声音
LOOPS 引擎集音频循环器、拼接器和合成器于一体。音频操控通过交互式可视化时间轴进行，该时间轴将循环分割成节奏片段，并重新拼贴，创造出新的不规则形态。播放参数有助于进行精细的循环操控，而参数调制和切片随机化则可以进一步演化节奏。
GRAINS 引擎在微观层面运作，将循环解构为微小的碎片，然后将其重建为弥散且无定形的纹理云。大小、形状、音高、音量、声像和方向各异的粒子相互作用，创造出丰富的生成式音景和手势动作，并通过物理模拟调制以循环模式动态化参数，引入自然的重复。
探索全新声音世界
CYCLES 包含超过 450 个循环音源，分为六个不同的包，每个包都旨在激发音乐创作中新颖独特的方向。循环音源可以直接用于生成和发展现有创意，也可以纯粹作为素材，在引擎内进行处理，打造全新的声音世界。
即时转换循环音源
CYCLES 包含 100 种预设引擎状态，帮助您寻找灵感并探索。每种状态都会将引擎转换为不同的参数、设置和调制方式，从而创建一个全新的声音世界，您可以在其中演奏循环音源或样本。这会产生一个庞大的音色库，包含数以万计的独特处理循环和纹理，从充满活力的脉冲和拨弦，到丰富的电影氛围，应有尽有。
庞大的独特音色库
除了源循环外，还包含超过 150 个定制的铺底、纹理和音序，每个音色库都由单个源循环在 CYCLES 引擎中进行变形而创建。最终，您将获得一个包含独特音色和节奏的庞大音色库，其中充满了颗粒状的音色群、丰富的有机纹理和精确的循环脉冲。音色库可以交互式地执行，通过调制轮的移动可以创造出动态的上升和不断变化的电影般的过渡。

ENDLESS ABSTRACT LOOPS
CYCLES is an innovative and powerful loop manipulation and granular synthesis environment. Through a variety of idiosyncratic and interactive processes pull apart and reconstruct audio instantly into an endless myriad of collaged loops, performable textures, modulating rhythms, generative sequences and playable pads.
REIMAGINE SOUND WITH LOOPS + GRAINS
The LOOPS engine is an audio looper, splicer and synthesiser. Audio is manipulated using an interactive visual timeline that slices the loops into rhythmic segments and re-collages them to create new and irregular formations. Playback parameters facilitate detailed loop manipulation whilst parameter modulation and slice randomisation can create further rhythmic evolution.
The GRAINS engine operates at the micro level, deconstructing the loops into tiny fragments and then rebuilding them into diffuse and amorphous clouds of texture. Grains of variable size, shape, pitch, volume, pan and direction interact to create a multitude of generative soundscapes and gestural movements, with physically simulated modulation introducing natural repetition by animating parameters in cyclical patterns.
EXPLORE NEW SONIC WORLDS
CYCLES includes over 450 loop sources divided into six distinct packs, each designed to inspire new and idiosyncratic directions in music creation. Loops can be used straight out of the box in order to generate and develop existing ideas, or alternatively taken purely as source material to be manipulated within the engine into entirely new worlds of sound.
TRANSFORM LOOPS INSTANTLY
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.
A VAST LIBRARY OF UNIQUE SOUNDS
As well as the source loops, over 150 bespoke pads, textures and sequences are included, each created by taking a single source loop and transfiguring it within the CYCLES engine. The result is a vast library of unique timbres and rhythms full of granularised swarms, lush organic textures and precise cyclical pulses. Patches can be performed interactively, with mod wheel movement creating dynamic rises and evolving cinematic transitions.
