Circle - Stay in the 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.
Key Features:
- Ease of Use:
- Designed to be easy to use and intuitive through simple work flows.
- Large easy to see knobs and sliders.
-
Connect up modulations via color coded circles in a simple and visual
fashion. To preview a modulation, simple place a circle under a knob,
and hear its effect.
- See all your connections at a glance, without the clutter of virtual cables.
- Interactive Control:
- Visually interactive MIDI learn. Assign your MIDI controllers in a simple, fast and familiar way.
-
Attach multiple Circle controls to a single knob. Speed up an LFO,
while closing a filter, while increasing a delay effect time.
Experiment with control.
- Use hands on control in a creative way as part of the sound design process.
- Live Performance:
- Single view, high contrast screen, lets you see everything at a single glance.
- Organize and group your sounds for live performance using the sounds browser.
- Use Apple iRemote to change sounds from afar (Mac version only).
