Berlin, May 15, 2025 – Native Instruments today released Circular, a mesmerizing polyphonic sequencer that transforms a single note or chord progression into breathtaking rhythmic soundscapes. Announced at Superbooth 25 in Berlin last week, Circular can jump from sketch to score in seconds, drawing out rich and emotive cinematic sequences.
Go full circle
Starting with a single note, Circular utilizes four independent layers, each a canvas for modulation. Control pitch, filter, and effects in real-time, creating motion-rich scores with unparalleled speed and depth. Every sound was designed with polyphonic aftertouch in mind, making for an extremely expressive experience on Kontrol keyboards, and other controllers that support poly AT.
Dive into a vast library of over 160 sound sources, ranging from felted pianos and prepared guitars to hybrid synths and bowed metal. Circular's diverse palette encourages exploration, blending soft and harsh textures, acoustic and synthetic elements, and familiar and strange sounds. Add your own samples to transform them into evolving sequences.
