What is Circular, and how does it create dynamic sequences?
Circular is a polyphonic sequencer with four independently modulated layers with real-time step controls. Each layer has a step-sequencer with three lanes; Sound Lane, Parameter Lane and Step Duration.
The Sound Lane is where the step’s sound source is chosen for each step from a palette of over 100 experimental sources.
The Parameter Lane where velocity, note probability, note pitch, note length and up to three step FX can be applied. The step FX available include arpeggiator, grain, gate and unison, amongst other effects.
The Step Duration controls where the length of each step and the length of each sequence can be defined. This ability to control both step length and sequence duration mean it’s possible to create both polyrhythmic and polymetric patterns.
Circular also has the ability to control sound design parameters for each note, which along with assignable polyphonic aftertouch modulation makes it a flexible tool for creating expressive and dynamic sound sequences.
