Crafting unique sounds is made easy by the intuitive layout that fits everything you need on one screen with colour-coded drag-and-drop modulation signal flow.

"Intuitive and powerful! Within 10 minutes I'm making complex patches."- Mr. Bill, Sound Artist, Ableton Expert, Deadmau5 Collaborator
“Demystifying interface and instantly accessible workflow.”- Kim Bjørn
"Circle² is amazing. I love the new Vector Phase Shaping synthesis method; It's one of my go-to synths for generating fresh, interesting sounds."- Richard Devine, Sound Artist
"The included patches give you a whole lot to work with. Using Circle² with my beats brings a whole new depth."- Richie Souf, Music Producer, Future & Young Thug Collaborator
Every synthesizer should be accessible, without needing extensive background knowledge in how to build sounds from the ground up. This is exactly what Circle2 aims to achieve with a fast and streamlined design that puts every aspect and every module in one window. Forget messy submenus, hidden controls and difficult to navigate interfaces, Circle2 presents everything in a clean and colour-coded format that's easy for every musician of every ability to dive right in.
Usability is at the heart of Circle2, where other synthesizers are becoming increasingly complex due to adding more and more options, Circle2 focuses on workflow, letting creative musicians stay focused on the creative aspects of sound design. Creating unique sounds that speak to you, with minimal fuss and effort. Virtually every move you make within Circle2 will result in a musical sound that could be used in your productions. Explore your creativity and let your imagination run wild instead of focusing on technicalities.
Careful not to overwhelm with option paralysis, Circle2 gives you a clean, drag-and-drop style modulation system that puts you in control. Each module within the synth engine is colour-coded, letting you know the exact signal flow. Ideal for live sound designers, this will give you a visual representation of where your signal is, allowing you to quickly troubleshoot any potential problems that might occur under the dim-lit lights of a music venue.
Continuing with the intuitive interface ethos, the colour-coded modules allow anyone from any ability range to enjoy the sounds that Circle2 has to offer, without needing any prior knowledge to the mechanisms of complex modulation circuits. Quickly create dynamic sounds full of motion to lift your mixes and music to the next level.
Unique to the FAW Circle2 is the four VPS (Vector Phase-shaping Synthesis) oscillators. Developed in conjunction with the audio research group at Maynooth University, the VPS oscillators create harmonically rich tones with morphing capabilities that artists such as Deadmau5 rely on. Perfect for creating evolving leads, gritty basses, ethereal pads and contoured sounds, the VPS oscillators are only exclusive to Circle2 so in order to unlock these sounds, Circle2 is the only place possible!
Crafted by conjoining a pair of sine waves, the sine waves are fused together within their cycle and are then modulated along the cycle to adjust the frequency of each wave respectively. By adjusting the frequency along the cycle, Circle2 can create truly out of this world tones, perfect for finding your sonic signature to stamp on your productions. Everything from thick, organ-like waves and piercing ringing saws to exotic, plucked sounds and more are easily achievable with only a few simple tweaks to the parameters.
Jam-packed in Cirlce2 is a tremendous level of depth for sound design. With four oscillator slots, two envelope generators, two LFOs a noise generator and a wide range of modulation and effects, the possibilities are virtually endless. A total of 14 sound generators offer the ability to customise your sound design to your exact needs, with wavetable oscillators spanning over 110 unique waveshapes, the unique four VPS oscillators and much more.
Additionally, Circle2 contains a myriad of world-class effects to add the final polish to your sound, whether that's with the new addition of a Bucket Brigade-style delay or analog-modelled tube distortion. For contemporary sound designers working on silver-screen productions, the Bucket Brigade-style delay offers the perfect opportunity to create dark echoes, spooky modulated siren calls and gritty analog textures that can perfectly complement your visual with your audio.
Unlock gritty and aggressive tones with all-new analog-modelled tube distortions and overdrives. Ideal for transforming simple synth tones into cutting leads that sit ontop of your mix with ease or for adding edge and character to a brass instrument sound. With a total of 24 professional effects, each with modulation parameters, there's no sound that can't be achieved with Circle2.
For less experienced sound designers, Circle2 comes loaded with over 300 patches, designed by expert engineers to dive right into your creative production. Accessible via the Smart Browser, you can curate a library of your favourite patches for instant access.
