Dawesome ZYKLØP is a new free Synthesizer plugin and the little sister of the Myth plugin with one mighty resynthesis oscillator.
In mid-April, Dawesome released Myth, an innovative Synthesizer plugin that uses a machine-learning-based resynthesis core. Drag a sample into the engine, and the synth puts out a bouquet of sonic variations you can transform further.
Version 1.5 with the new resynthesis 2.0 core came out on November 1st, making all this even better. On Black Friday, you can buy the Dawesome synth at a discount or download its little sister, ZYKLØP, for free.

ZYKLØP is the stripped-down version of the Mynth Synthesizer. It only hosts one of Mynth’s mighty resynthesis cores but has the same flexibility. Also, here, it’s not a classic oscillator. Instead, it uses a resynthesized audio file visualized as an iris.
Machine learning supports this unique resynthesis process to achieve the best results. It’s super straightforward to work with. Drag-and-drop an audio file to the corresponding “oscillator” slot, and the engine will transform it into a plethora of sonic variations.
From this point, you playback the iris in different modes: wave, soft, grain, and flat, giving you different results. Infuse various FM types, explore orbit modulation, and more.
Then, you can shape/bend the resynthesized sampler further with the transformer dials. For example, you can work with brass, saw, string, and square, which process the audio as if it were created using one of those methods. And since you can load all sorts of audio, the sound spectrum of ZYKLØP is infinite.
Like in Mynth, all this is surrounded by a powerful cable-free modular synth core. You can work with virtual analog filters, and apply rich effects, including various reverbs, delays, modulation FX, and more. Be warned, these effects sound gorgeous and invite you to create massive soundscapes.
This modular core also includes a flexible modulation engine with three customizable envelopes, three multi-wave LFOs, velocity, pressure, and more.
Dawesome ships ZYKLØP Synthesizer with 128 high-quality sounds from professional sound designers with which you can start directly and get an overview of what is possible.
First Impression
When Myth came onto the market in April, the plugin immediately impressed me. I even consider it one of the best synth plugin releases of the year. The engine is just a lot of fun and sounds fantastic. It’s super powerful but still super easy to use.
It’s great to see that you can now play one brain of Myth in ZYKLØP for free. I’m glad that more people can now explore the resynthesis engine. Big thanks, Peter, for this release.
Dawesome ZYKLØP is available now as a free download. It runs as a VST3 and AU plugin on macOS (native Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows. Big plus: no email registration, no newsletter, or other awkward commitments. It’s 100% free.
