Circle2 is the new major update to Future Audio Workshop's flagship software synthesizer, Circle - a powerful, modern, easy-to-use synthesizer.

Features:

NEW SYNTHESIS TYPE: VPS
The brand new VPS (vector phaseshaping synthesis) oscillator is one of the most exciting new features of Circle2. The new oscillator utilizes a cutting-edge synthesis technique introduced by researchers at the Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering and The National University of Ireland, and further developed for its implementation in Circle2 via an academic collaboration with Future Audio Workshop.

The VPS oscillator works by glueing together a pair of sine waves with specified frequencies. Via its two parameters - which control the frequencies of the sine waves and the location at which they are glued - the VPS oscillator provides direct control of the waveform's intricate harmonics. Modulating the parameters can produce a wide range of effects, either used subtly to give gentle movement, or used harshly to twist and contort a synth into oblivion.

FULLY RE-WRITTEN AUDIO ENGINE
Circle2 comes with a fully re-written audio engine. Better tone with improved low end depth and increased high frequency clarity. New factory sounds packed full of future leaning sounds.

RETINA READY
Circle2's interface is fully retina display ready. Brings a vibrancy and clarity that is unseen in other software instruments.

DESIGN SOUNDS VISUALLY
Simply move the colour-coded circles around the interface to start creating your own unique sounds. Preview a connection by hovering a circle beneath a knob. Explore sound in an intuitive way.

REDESIGNED INTERFACE, IMPROVED WORKFLOWS
