I’m a musician and a tech head but I’m afraid I don’t understand what you’ve written when you explained how you did it. A stepby step video explanation would be MOST welcome 🙏
Fantastic! I just received a circuit. As far as I understood it’s not possibile to repeat the same note with microstep, but only different notes (till 6). Reading your comment seems you found a way, but it’s still not clear to me how to. Can you give some additional hints? Thanks!
Dario Foresti Real-time recording is the key. As an example, set pattern length to 1, hit record and play, bang rapidly away at just one note for a couple of seconds, and look at the micro steps. All 6 steps are now filled with the same note 😀. You can of course do this with pattern length 16 and some precision real-time recording also. You can move the individual notes to the correct micro step afterwards. With some practice, you get it right most of the time.
Impressive. Thanks for sharing. I have been watching a lot of ambient music on youtube with lots of gear being used. You made a beautiful composition with only two pieces of gear. This inspires me as I am trying to keep my own set up minimal. Your notes are helpful to me also.
PureHeartVideo Thank you. I’ve been wanting to do ratcheting on the Circuit since I first got it, and I’m super happy with all the firmware updates from Novation.
@@Waveformer I know, right? They've been a breath of fresh air from a developer standpoint. The circuit is so versatile right now, specially at its price point, never ceases to amaze me.
I don't own a Circuit (yet), but if I'm understanding this correctly all of this is just a single pattern and you squeezed a whole lot of notes in there, right? What's the benefit of this? Wouldn't you be able to do the same with pattern chaining? (It sounds great btw!)
OttoNL Yes, that’s right. I’m teaching myself the new micro steps feature on the Circuit. By using micro steps, you get patterns longer than 16 steps (48 in my case), which allows for more complex sequences in one pattern/session. But all I have done in this jam could have been done without microsteps using two sessions (12 16-step patterns are needed, so one session is not enough).
