Circle VST
Right so I've wanted this VST for a loooong time now. Especially seeings as I've been rewiring reason into ableton for ages but don't actually have any synths in ableton aside from a few freeware effects because I am very poor lol. Reason is good, don't get me wrong I love the workflow and for simple noises it does the job but there are certain types of complex sound that take FOREVER in reason that i've managed to make in 5 minutes when using demos of other synths in the past and I feel like it's kind holding me back a little on certain types of tune. Now Xmas has come and gone I actually have a bit of spare cash to spend on production toys and circle is the first thing that came to mind.
The problem is, the website still says it has an expired certificate when trying to access the store from the main page. Does anyone know of any other sources where you can buy circle or if it's available in a boxed format? I've tried searching all over the place to no avail so my hopes aren't high buy I thought I would ask here before giving up completely.
I suppose I could always buy alchemy instead but my heart was kind of set on circle...plus circle is cheaper 0.o

Re: Circle VST
73 quid?!? That seems sketchy to me, does anyone have personal experience of ordering from this site? Or better yet has anyone bought circle here??
Re: Circle VST
yes I ordered there, but I'm from Germany, an it's a german company, so everything went without any problems...
Re: Circle VST
Brought mine from there 2 days before xmas after seeing the deal on KVR. Its legit. Quick UPS delivery aswell. It was £50.26 for me : )
Re: Circle VST
If your poor then just torrent it and when you have money buy it..

I'm too self righteous for that XD if I started pirating things then I wouldn't get to tell other people off for pirating and I wouldn't get to feel smug as I did it.lidchi wrote:If your poor then just torrent it and when you have money buy it..

I don't see any reason to crack software, just buy that shit, or use a nearly as good bit of freeware.

Re: Circle VST
Okay Circle heads... just think zebra back in the whispery recesses of your thoughts. Really really amazing synth.
Re: Circle VST
i like them both. Circles Workflow is amazing and encourages to do wired things. So i used it mostly for kind of noisy bleeps and messy sounds in general. Zebra neads more focus but i gives so many control over subtle nuances of the sound. For a carefully crafted pad i would go for zebra, if I just want to play around to find something crazy i'd prefer circle.
Re: Circle VST
Seems a lot like Massive. From the screenshots, the envelope section seems to be a bit nicer. Looks like you can actually shape the attack and decay. I'll have to try out the demo.
Re: Circle VST
Coming to the conclusion that Zebra is unmatchced... excellent sound (def among the best of the best) and like you said, the most (subtle or otherwise) sound shaping possibilities. Maybe something like alchemy seems like it has the most sound shaping possibilities, but I'm not sure that they are actually useful or sound particularly goodbuttock wrote:i like them both.

Just demoing it now, so maybe my opinions will change... but I am thoroughly blown away at this point. I tried Circle out a while ago, and felt that it was comparable to Massive, yeah, maybe with better envelops.
Re: Circle VST
I like using many different synths as each insprires me to make sounds in a certain direktion, but if I had to stick with just one it would zebra without a doubt. The oscillators alone give you so much possibilities and then there are the sweet sounding filters and much more. But the workflow is more complicated in comparison to things like circle a fabfilter twin. With zebra you have to know somehow where you want to go and theres no limit in what you can archieve, with the others it's sometimes just fun to play around and come up with something surprising. I like both ways.
Re: Circle VST
haha, totally opposite to that last part for me.
I'm so lost in zebra, that I'm constantly stumbling across crazy ways to subtly fuck with the sound. Just getting the most evolving dynamic tones, w/o using modulators!
Circle, like I said was just like Massive for me, no secrets. Just the sound of Zebra though, and the potential... why do I keep on about Zebra in a Circle thread? Circle is an awesome synth.

Re: Circle VST
actually zebra should be praised here more regularly 

Re: Circle VST
I prefer Circle to Massive. purely because the of the GUI. I'm like that.
I just work better with it. it's kind of become of "standard synth".
