Welcome to Circular

Circular begins with a single note, but it never stays there. It moves, shifts, and evolves into a living, cinematic sequence. With four fully independent layers, each with its own sequences, effects, and modulation, each step becomes a canvas, modulating pitch, filter, and effects in real time.

Circular’s polyphonic sequencer transforms static notes into evolving patterns, with per-step control over all synthesis parameters – even the sample. Each layer runs independently, letting you craft dynamic polyrhythms and richly textured performances in seconds, transforming static notes into dynamic, musical patterns shaped by polyphonic aftertouch.

Featuring a comprehensive library of 168 sound sources, there is room to explore everything from delicate acoustic sequences to contemporary sound design performance. Circular is ideal for complex polyrhythmic layering, improvising with live performances, and intuitively shaping sounds while inspiring new ideas.

This document shows you how to install and setup Circular and describes all features in detail, starting with the overview.

We hope you enjoy Circular!
