Post Description

A powerful, easy to use software synthesizer.

Future Audio Workshop (FAW) has announced the release of Circle, which it describes as "a fresh look at software synthesis" and "a software synthesizer designed for Creative Flow". "Flow" refers to the state of mind in which you are at your most creative and productive, a place where hours pass like minutes and musical ideas become reality. Staying in flow becomes increasingly difficult however, when dealing with the complexities of modern software synthesizers.

By looking at the most important things a synthesizer should do and designing simple work flows around these tasks, FAW feels it has created a synthesizer that is both powerful and complete in its features, yet simple and easy for the musician, sound designer and performer to use, play and stay in flow with.

Visually Design Sounds
Simply move colour coded circles around the interface to start creating your own unique sounds. Preview the connections by just hovering the circle beneath a knob. Explore sound in an intuitive way.

Powerful Audio Engine
Choose from a large variety of effects and audio modules. Mix the classic synthesizer tones of analog modeled filters and oscillators with contemporary wavetables and digital bit crushers.

Start Right Away
To get you started, Circle comes with many pre-made sounds, in a wide variety of styles and genres.

Creative control
Assign your midi controllers in a simple and fast way with visual midi learn. Attach multiple parameters to a single controller.

Everything at a glance
With Circle’s high contrast, single pane interface you can see everything at a single glance while performing live on stage.

Fixes

- Midi Controller assignments were not being saved or displayed in the bottom panel.
- A change in the latest version of Window 8 meant that activation was no longer working.

nJoy!
