I just tried downloading it.

It’s working perfectly on my MacBook Pro M1 running on Sonoma with the latest Cubase 13 & 14.  
This has always been one of my favorite software synthesizers, so I’m thrilled it’s functioning properly. I truly appreciate your dedication. Thank you so much!

Circle might not get a lot of mentions, but I think it has influenced a _lot_ of software that people use today.

@Gavin_FAW  
Hello Gavin is there a new Beta available ? I have hard times to activate (I have the spin of the death and then at some point it failed - I contact the support because it’s written on the app that you can contact the support for offline activation I thought it would be the way to go but apparently it seem to not be so easy)

thanks  
otherwise I will uninstall and follow how it evolves.  
I had two problems : activation and NKS icon doesn’t show for circle2

@TeKiNovah

That is weird…the spin of death might be a couple of things. Let me do some tests here and I’ll what is up. My gut feeling is that it could be something related to the server vs anything directly wrong in Circle2.

Gavin.

Hello Gavin I tried also on my iMac and I’m on an intel Mac macOS Catalina 10.15.7  
And I have exactly the same. thought it would be a nice info to share…

</div>

I’m checking here…I can connect to the server via my macbook…but not when I use the plug-in.

It was working up to very recently ( maybe 2 weeks ago ). Nothing has changed on our side and also the fact that ti doesn’t work on Catalina as @TeKiNovah has pointed out leads me to think it is server side.

I’ll have to dig further into this and do some tests.

If anyone has any other similar issues please let me know.

I’m still having problems activating Circle2. Did I buy a plugin that I can’t use?

Thanks,

@TeKiNovah

I’ve given it a try here and it works…it might be that you need to delete an old activation file on disk.

If you go to /FAW/Circle2/ and then if there is a circle2.kfp I’d delete that and then try to activate.

Let me know how it goes!  
Gavin.

Hey @ricardusk thanks for letting us know! I wasn’t aware of that issue with resizing/VST3. I’ll pass that onto the developers.

I realize you’ve not updated for Tahoe yet, but I’m getting repeated crashes on Live 12.2.6. Works fine when I disable Circle 2.

It’s been a while. Are there any updates on this topic?  
I’m wondering how I or anyone else can feel confident in the long-term support of your products.  
You’ve released the new Notes synth, which looks and sounds great, but will this also be abandoned after a while?
