Circe, any lucky Ulysses?

Hello, I installed and tried the newest Circe, both plugin and standalone. But it seems that it doesn’t actually make any sound that I might connect to what it should theoretically do. Any user had better luck?
The pitch and tension slider, either with or without side chain produces artifacts that do sound like, well, artifacts (…à la RAVE) and I didn’t hear any connection with the side chain material (artifacts are quite similar, independently of the material fed in as side chain)
Also the slider for timbre mixing does not produce any result that could remind the classical mixing of timbre (cross synthesis, morphing, etc.).
In standalone version, how do you feed the side chain?
Am I doing something wrong? Am I expecting something different than what the algorithm should produce?
Thanks,
Alessandro
