Native Instruments has announced the release of a new Kontakt instrument: Circular is a polyphonic, multitimbral instrument and sequencer that's designed to create evolving and multi-layered soundscapes from just a single note or chord sequence.
Circular's patches can comprise up to four layers, drawing from a library of 160 sound sources and spanning a variety of acoustic and synthetic samples that includes keys, guitars, saxophones, vocals and synths. Layers can be selected and levels adjusted on Circular's Play page, which also features a circular representation of its sequencer (hence the name).
