Under-appreciated synth, Circle, so much. But I understand why - it sounds rather raw and you have to put some FX on it which not many people seem to are able to. As a raw synth, and for its modulating capabilities I give it 5 of 5. ;) And the GUI is so easy to use. It's a synth for people who know how to use the FX and who are used to dealing with raw sounding synths. Like me.

 

if you are a preset clicker and u always wanted to know the basics this is the way to go, circle's visual feedback is amazing

 

The original sounded nice and I'm sure this does too and now with a bigger bottom.
It can even compete with other mager players in the wavetable league.

But it's very expen$ive

 

finally!!!

 

univershitty?

spell checker please, that's so un-porfessional ; O
(joke)
love this synth, look forward to trying out new version : )

 

Schaweeeeeeeeeeet!

 

I have the same problem with this synth than SynthMaster, Spectral, Twin 2, ANA and a lot more synths : where is the PUNCH ? where is the MEAT ?
When i use ACE, Predator, Spire, Serum, ...i feel SPL and raw attack punch.
Not with the first ones.

It is worse if the synth is supposed to be "go-to" and priced accordingly
Just listening to the demo sound i know i don't like it. Whatever ppl say, there is a signature sound from engine.
That's why i don't like Zebra...even if i love U-He in general (and no, it can't replace them all).

Sorry to rain on the parade

 

should be:
if you are a preset clicker and u always wanted to know the basics Circle was the way to go, circle's visual feedback used to be amazing.

this really is a downgrade
