Description : Polyphonic sequencer
Expressive polyphonic sequencer
• Transform any chord progression into exciting rhythmic soundscapes
• Explore over 100 experimental sources: felt pianos, guitars, hybrid synths, bowed metal objects and more
• Quickly create complex sequences with four independently modulated layers and real-time step control that responds to aftertouch
From sketch to score in seconds
Circular starts with a single note, but it doesn’t stop there. It moves, changes, and evolves into a living, cinematic sound. Four completely independent layers allow each step to become a canvas – modulating pitch, filters, and effects in real time. A simple sketch quickly turns into a motion-rich score, giving you the speed to quickly compose and the depth to create something truly unique.
Circular Sound Palette
From delicate music boxes and muted keyboards to creaking ceramics, brushed guitars and inverted bells, Circular’s palette is built on contrasts: soft and harsh, acoustic and synthetic, familiar and unusual. Explore pianos, chamber recordings of objects, airy saxophones, metallic objects, processed vocals and hybrid synths – each sound is dynamic and reveals itself over time.
Built for speed
Combine up to four sound sources simultaneously, each with its own sequence, effects and modulation. Circular’s polyphonic sequencer lets you control every aspect of your sound at the step level, including sample swapping. Each layer works independently, letting you create dynamic polyrhythms and texture-rich parts in seconds.
Create Sound in Real Time
Circular gives you granular control without disrupting your creative flow. Apply granular effects, unison, delay, and more to every step, with instant visual feedback and intuitive modulation. Polyphonic aftertouch adds expressiveness to every note, making your patterns tactile, dynamic, and alive from the first step.
Add your own samples
Load your own samples and watch Circular work its magic. Whispered vocals, raw field recordings or delicate string strummings – your sounds transform into evolving sequences filled with texture, rhythm and movement. Add multiple samples at once, spread across 128 slots, and create something completely new.
Play with Kontrol keyboards
With polyphonic aftertouch support, Circular is a perfect match for the new Kontrol S-Series keyboards, allowing you to expressively modulate sequences. Easily find and control sounds with the detailed display. Take advantage of the intelligent Light Guide , which visualizes sequences and key ranges for easy and intuitive playing.
Created by Frank Eltinge
Circular continues the trilogy of acclaimed granular instruments Straylight , Pharlight and Ashlight , created by Frank Eltinge , who was responsible for concept, programming and samples. Frank joined forces with sound design studio The Most Human Colors to create this library, as well as bringing in top specialists in the field: Samuel Estes (known for his work with Hans Zimmer) and the duo The Solos , who created trailers for Godzilla , Black Panther and Game of Thrones .
