where can I find tool to unscrew this type of circle screw

It looks like a rivet. Do you have a little bit more clear picture? just hold the camera back a little bit and rely on the resolution to be able to zoom in on it so I can see, does it have a star pattern inside or any sharp angles? If it’s a rivet, it can’t be screwed, so I wonder is there a nut on the inside? But if it has a star shape, or any sharp angles in the hole, it could be a torx bit or some other specific, I just need a better look. It could even be as simple as a hex shape (allen wrench).

If it’s a stand like “end cheeks” where there are pieces on either side, it’s a possibility that there is an outer bolt (rivet) with a square section right under the head, that would prevent it from turning. Maybe inside the case of the synth (underneath the faceplate) there is a nut fastening it together. I probably need to see the type of stand and the hole of the screw / rivet. If it has no angles inside, it may very likely be secured under the surface of the RYTM faceplate to the inner wall of the chassis. Not a big problem, but you don’t want to force it or possibly you’ll cause some damage, we can figure it out though.

This is a hex drive screw, I’ll show you what the tool looks like.
*editing because I called it a hex head, but this might be confused with a bolt that has a hex shaped head, the screw’s head takes a hex driver (allen key) to remove.

Usually called allen wrench / allen key / hex key, any hardware or automotive store or Amazon will sell them inexpensively.
you can get a small set of them that look like this, hex key. Also called Allen wrench. Yours is going to be a metric size, you will need to see which one so better to get the set that comes with several, it’s probably 8mm or 10mm but I don’t know for sure because it may be smaller.
If you have a hex screwdriver you can also get a set like these
torx bits of the correct size should work as well but if possible get the normal hex for that.
torx:
I tried to find a picture for the top one that shows the shape of the insert part, you’ll see it matches the angles of the screw head in your picture. Pretty standard, should be easy for you.

yes, the L shaped one were the one that came with it…I think I threw it away just recently…couldn’t remember why I had it…
thank you so much, friend
appreciate your helpful and resourcefulness.

If you find a small set that includes 6mm through 12mm I’m nearly positive the size is in that range. You can buy a bigger set, but it’s unlikely you’ll need it for a long time if you only use it to remove what you have there.
I ordered the one which includes .028

I think you need .393 for the size in inches, that would be like 10mm. But I would say maybe a set that goes up to 12mm so .472 in inches I think would be the outermost, probably way too big. I think the smallest it could be is 6mm but I’m not positive. Can you look at the faceplate screw in comparison to the size of the hex hole? I’ll see which one fits my elektron and it’s proabably similar or the same screw
look for one with smaller range, like 5mm to 12mm maybe. You will never need 17mm
