I would like to start this thread to make it extremely visible to Gavin and anyone else involved with FutureAudioWorkshop that we, as paying customers, do not feel like we've been given our money's worth with this product. Please respond to this post with a list of the issues that you have with both the software and the company. Let's try to work together as a community to get FAW back on track and supporting their product as we have asked. Circle Complaints: - RTAS performance is unusable. - VST performance is unusable. - Buffer errors and clicks-and-pops make the software unusable in any DAW environment. - MIDI in Stand-alone mode is broken. - OSC implementation is broken. FAW Complaints: - The lack of support and updates is shameful. - The resolutions presented are not fixes, but work-arounds that do not solve the issue. - There have been no updates to the roadmap since its inception 2 years ago. - There is no apparent development or news regarding Circle, and no news of its End Of Life either. - Customers often do not receive answers to questions posted here. - There is no channel for complaints and escalations, as Gavin is apparently the sole individual at FAW. - The forum is overlooked often, and for extremely long periods of time. - Promises made to keep the community informed of development cycles and bug fixes in the pipeline have been repeatedly broken. - Communication to the FAW community is sporadic and non-informational, at best. Please add any other complaints or issues that you have. Let's try to make this a constructive dialog / petition.

Price is down, very nice to see, so all the people payed 160 or above can feel happy now after 2 or more Years without any update/bugfixing info. Now seeing their nobel synth in a lolish price dump situation. That a new update lowers the price to only a third of the regular price. Thought more time investment and bugfixes/upgrades would keep the price constant. But such a lowering. I really don't think that buying circle was an investment anymore. It tastes like a joke. The standalone version (1.0.8) still has the midi problem and is still horrible cpu hungry. So, what did i pay for, and what are new customers paying for ? More communication in future times ? Better bugfixing ? Less of it all cause they only payed a third of the price ? Maybe i get myself an IDevice seems like the support of IOS Apps is much greater. jordanstoner on "Looking to the Future: AAX support for Pro Tools" http://www.futureaudioworkshop.com/forums/topic/looking-to-the-future-aax-support-for-pro-tools#post-1999 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:52:55 +0000 jordanstoner 1999@http://www.futureaudioworkshop.com/forums/ <a href="http://createdigitalmusic.com/2011/11/a-new-plug-in-format-really-avid-answers-our-questions-about-aax-and-pro-tools/" rel="nofollow">http://createdigitalmusic.com/2011/11/a-new-plug-in-format-really-avid-answers-our-questions-about-aax-and-pro-tools/</a> AAX will eventually replace RTAS and TDM plug-in formats in Pro Tools. If Circle development continues for this platform, then effort should be directed toward developing an AAX version. From what I understand, the SDK is free, and the actual development cycle is much faster than RTAS in most cases. Not only does the development of an AAX version mean that it's easy to offer both DSP and Native versions, the SDK has an expanded feature-set that should entice all developers to investigate this format. Also, a DSP version of Circle would be extremely beneficial, as it's a very CPU intensive plug-in. fsottile on "serial already in use" http://www.futureaudioworkshop.com/forums/topic/serial-already-in-use#post-1998 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:17:06 +0000 fsottile 1998@http://www.futureaudioworkshop.com/forums/ Hi, i bought circle on ebay and would like to activate it but i get "serial already in use" .. how can it be solver? .. the other guy told me he uninstall his copy... 5 days agoo i also opened a ticket about this issue but still no reply from the support... please help :) nicknack on "Re - Activation problem" http://www.futureaudioworkshop.com/forums/topic/re-activation-problem#post-658 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:24:14 +0000 nicknack 658@http://www.futureaudioworkshop.com/forums/ Hi Gavin, I recently Had a logic board failure on my mac pro.

I can instantiate any of my other plugins and not have an issue -- but the moment I bring up Circle, Pro Tools complains about losing connection to the Audio Hardware (says I may need to change the buffer settings and increase), and causing it to reset. Right before that happens the audio will degrade to static and/or digital artifacts. This will repeat ad nauseam. I can remove Circle, and add say, well, really any other Synth plugin and away I go.

For example, let's say I'm creating a filter sweep rise and I want it to last two bars, instead of guessing how long the attack should be and tweeking it until it feels good, I could simply tell Circle to make the envelope last for two bars. I hit my MIDI note on beat one of bar one and it syncs perfectly. I think I would want the ability to sync from 1/256th note or somewhere in that range all the way up to 8 or more bars. I would want the ability to tempo sync the decay, the sustain and the release as well, all independent of each other. This would be an amazing feature, and I would LOVE to see this in a future update to Circle.

And I haven't seen any other Synths with this feature. Feat. Request: The ability to export to a text file, the setttings for ever parameter in a patch. Broken down into sections: So if I had a preset loaded, it would export like this: Oscillator 1: 3.4 Oscillator 2: 2.4 With the ability to export either, every setting, or every setting that has been tweaked from the default setting. Would be amazing.
