I'm testing, but because there is no possibility of activating the asio driver in standalone version?
It is unfortunate, good price but does not support asio?

If you really need it as a standalone synth
(though why would you?) you could host the vst inside savihost

That would be unusual.
I'm on OSX, so I can't help you.

how do you pan oscillators in this synth? i looked through the manual but cant find anything about getting true stereo sound out of this unless you use effects like chorus.

Hi Nathan,
In general we don't post on other companies forums, but this question was pointed out to me so here goes....
On the master effects there is an auto panner. Also you can assign the pan to be modulated by any modulation source, like lfo's, sequencers, envelopes, keyboard followw...lots of creative stereo fun to be had in other words!
If you need any more info, just send requests throught to

looks like its come a long way since i tried the beta a couple of years back.
were you always able to use the oscillators as mod sources? that's a nice touch.
i'll pick this up on payday. cheers, gavin.

Thanks Gary
On the oscillators as modulations, you can apply them anywhere there is a socket, even master effects. Also you can hit the "sub" button on the oscillators so they become LFOs, useful if you want to use some of the more weird wavetable waves as sources. Here is a short youtube video of UMEK using Circle in the studio showing some LFO tricks for pitch modulation:

yeah, I see the panner in the master effects section but I'm still not getting how to hard pan one oscillator hard left and another hard right.
