Novation Circuit Workflow | Live DAWless Jam

Музыка

In this video I improvise a song from scratch. I also explain what I am doing, as well as give some beginner tips for any new users of the Circuit. You can get my Circuit presets here: store.bobeats.tv
Everything was live recorded. Recorded from Circuit into a ZOOM H2. Edited in Final Cut Pro. All sounds and FX from the Novation Circuit. Video recorded with a Canon 700D.

    I'm so happy for the circuit. It is so versatile and can pull off whatever you need all in a compact box. It takes less than 30 seconds sometimes to get a full groove out of nowhere. I wish I had four of them!

    Do you know how daisy-chaining 2 of them works? Do you connect via MIDI to out and in? If so, can you still sequence 2 external synths on each of them? How would you go about doing this since there is only one MIDI port, and as far as I know, MIDI Thru boxes are too limited for this. I have a 1-in 4-out and that's it. I'm interested in the extra layers by getting 2 to sequence my Volcas and Minilogue but I don't want to run myself into a corner. Thanks

    Great performance and demo! Shows the power and flexibility of the Circuit. Since I already have plenty of hardware, I do not need the Circuit’s internal sounds. Trying to decide between this and two more Keysteps which I can sync and MIDI to my existing gear. I realize the Circuit does more, but the Keysteps have longer sequences, an arp, and a nicer keyboard. Hmmm... 🤔

    Yes, it's easy to learn. I just got one today, not knowing how to use it. Found a 7 part tutorial on KZread, and by the end of the day, I was doing a PERFECT cover of M83's Run Into Flowers. Damn near note for note. It's a great one to get. And samples are snipets of audio, from any source, that you can use via midi.

    I think that it can be hard for some, depending on your background. If you havnt worked with step sequencers it can take a while to get used to it. But its not hard by any means. You will eventually get your head around it. Its not an Elektron box.

    I usually go something like this: 1 Macro for Cut off, 1 for resonance (standard for filter tweaking). Then I go one for decay so I can shorten notes/make them longer. One for chorus. One for distortion. then the last three I often use for different LFO-modulations. If you check my Circuit editor tutorials you can see I often modulate using the LFO in some way, even cross modulate.

Sounded somewhat dull and simple with the sounds that were build in, you proved me wrong, it does sound awesome.... I just don't know how to use it properly... (shame on me) I should put some more time into it I guess. Do you have a better tutorial for beginners, Bo ? Have a nice weekend or as I always say H.A.N.W Adriaan Laurijsen

    I think that the Circuit is real fun! You wont get the sound quality of say a more expensive synth or drum module but since you got that covered already I think this might be fun for you. The limitations of the device is also its strengths. Just so fast and easy to use. Sure not as deep as say my Elektron stuff. But never mind that when it is so fast!

    @@BoBeats it may not have the depth but it can be a sequencer for analog kit... also, with one minute of sample time you can get a personal sound/signature. Personally I love it for its abstract, glitch, motion madness and nice effects. Yet what I think is really important is the polyphonic synth, and TWO of them!!!! Having that gives so much more potential than the endless mono synths out there. Real great price especially second hand. A lot of people buy them but get bored with them, but they also come to life with a midi keyboard... blah blah blah...!
