This definitely intrigues me. But I have a few quick questions. How does, like SB Cyclop compare to NI Massive? And are there any other synths from SB that would be strongly recommended that I get if I'm going to be making dubstep?

You can give Cyclop a test-drive via the demo on their download page:

Massive has a larger range of sounds it can get. Cyclop will pretty much only provide you with very dirty synth sounds, which it's good at. I think overall Massive is probably better in the end, you just have to learn all the ropes. Cyclop is pretty easy to get harsh dirty sounds without much effort.

Listen to the demo tracks they have up for Cyclop and try out the demo and decide for yourself. :)

Another one of their plug-ins worth checking out is their WOW Filter.

But why should I get Cyclop if I already have Massive?

I've actually got my eyes on unique.

Lol, you're a bit late for the sale, but I bought Cyclop about two days ago. Massive is more versatile, and can do anything, but you have to put more effort forward to achieve the results you want. Cyclop is made to do bass sounds, and it does them really well. Some of the sounds I have to layer Massive twice or thrice to achieve the same sounds, but that's because I went the lazy way =P I would definitely recommend getting cyclops if you plan on making a lot of songs that require bass-y synths in the future. Also, be prepared to get confused by the interface. It's a bit more frustrating than Massive at first ;)

Ehhh, I don't really know. I'll have to try out the demo. But seriously, Unique looks like the coolest thing ever right now.
