If you haven’t heard of Circle check out CDM’s preview. What I got was a fascinating insight into the world of softsynth design and a sense that a shift may be about to occur in this area.
I wanted to talk to FAW to find out some more about how the synth came to be, the company’s ethos, and the inclusion of OSC. While instrument design is a collaborative process for FAW, Gavin’s area of expertise is in Signal Processing algorithms. I had the opportunity to visit Future Audio Workshop’s office in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland to have a chat with Gavin Burke about their upcoming synth, Circle. We’ll have more on the instrument itself soon, but it’s an excellent, coffee-fueled discussion of instrument design in general.

What makes that doubly interesting is that Circle appears to embody a trend in a new generation of music software - not that it stands alone, necessarily, as much as it seems to present a glimpse via an independent developer of where things may be going.Įoin Rossney, our new writer and contributor to the Kore minisite, got a chance to talk to FAW co-founder Gavin Burke, a fellow Irishman. What’s different is its approach to interface design and usability, refocusing on “Flow” and ease-of-use while looking forward to new interface capabilities in touchscreens, multi-touch, and OpenSoundControl. In terms of sound, its capabilities are familiar, if very complete. Circle from Future Audio Workshop is an upcoming virtual instrument that’s gotten our attention in a big way.
