I love my Tracks and Volca Bass. These budget pieces of gear absolutely prove that you don’t need to dump thousands to make good music. Excellent jam. I also love just tweaking the frequency while playing with the muting on the mixer. Such a fun way to make the most out of one sequence.
I’m grateful mate. I just started my journey in the DAW-less universe with circuit and seeing how you handle those pieces of hardware to make an amazing jam is inspiring, insightful and motivating. You’ve got a new subscriber!
I really loved this piece of music. Uplifting with positive anticipation of what was coming next. It really held my attention with moments of wandering imagination here and there. Great work. More please.
Circuit Monostation, Tracks, and forthcoming Rhythm are awesome. Now Novation need to make a Circuit-sequencer-based multitrack to compete with Roland Verselab and similar.
Goodness! Love it! I was already climbing the fence to save up for a Tracks and now I don't think I can get over the fence fast enough. Thanks for your videos. They're awesome!
Thanks for sharing. I found the music very pleasant. It demonstrated the unit well and was better than a review video as far as conceptualizing the NC.
Lovely composition, you got an almost analogue sound out of the Circuit synth engine to complement the analogue Volcas. I will be upgrading from my OG circuit to the circuit tracks soon. Thanks for uploading this and for your helpful notes as to what you're doing. I tend to use the mixer to cut and open/fade parts, too. I think I'll be using the midi tracks a lot as well as the probability and scenes, too.
That was mind-blowingly awesome. And yes, I too love the Volcas (I have the Drum and the Bass - both great little boxes). Up until now, I've not really looked at groove-boxes like the Circuit but this video has convinced me of the need for a deeper look. My thoughts after watching this video are that I think it'd be a great pairing with the NDLR, and I'm also needing some sort of polyphonic pad synth (well, maybe a pair of Volca Keys poly-chained?)
Awesome stuff Jay thank you very much, very informative and also nice and simple, yet still has a vibe and one that resonated. I'd love something longer sometime, something moody and ambient, a journey. Hope you're well Jay
Agreed. It's time to get back to some more ambient pieces. I've got a really special synth coming and I'll be hooking it up to the NDLR straight away. And thanks so much!
@@JayHosking I wish I could give more... But I wanted to show how grateful I am... This is my kind of jam. I bought the NCT after I saw this.... paired it with my Korg Monologue and a Meris Polymoon + EHX looper ... then bought the Rhythm for sampling .... You were the original inspiration THX SO MUCH .. (I am actually therapist and and music is my therapy... I saw your video and you made me realise what my favourite new therapy is for myself...making music not just listening... Ableton Live never appeared to me. I needed a Dawless setup and you showed me what was possible
The Monostation is so badass but for some reason didn't catch on with the general public. Novation and Arturia are really the best when it comes to creating digital interfaces to control analog voices. Astounding they haven't added an arp to the Circuit though. I wonder what that's about. Like the head designer is against arpeggiators or something.
@@TROGULAR10000 I think they really missed the mark with not adding the diode filter from the BS2. I think that probably hurt them the most with that product. I’m just glad I got mine at the clearance price when they were in the last batch and just when patch flip came out.
Great videos on the circuit tracks, it's a solid device! One thing I noticed in this video particularly: I wish the camera was manually/locked focused.
Agreed! It was an oversight, or maybe a cancelled command on the camera. In any case, once I'd recorded, I didn't want to try to re-capture the magic. Onwards and upwards. And thanks for the kind words!
thanks you actually explained a lot about the novation tracks too. I am very shocked that the mc 707 had no side chaining or the randomizer for notes, I didnt think it did anyway. Maybe with some menu diving. But the novation tracks seems to make everything so accessable even quite advanced things like changing the sequence resolution. A lot of stuff you think you have to fork out 500+ for some fancy ass sequencer like the polend play but this already has it. I cannot wait to get mine and use with my volca drum, behrigner crave, modal skulpt
Great track. Love that big, reverb washed synth pad. I sorely missed the way the original Circuit pattern chained when I'm working with Tracks. Tracks feels more restrictive in how sequences can be arranged.
Nice! How many projects with multiple instruments and parts can you fit inside that box? I'm thinking of buying one because I'm out of project space on my Keystep Pro. Thanks!
The original circuit was a great little machine and this new one looks even better. This mix sounds cleaner than some of your bigger multi-instrument setups, maybe there is something to be said for more sounds in the same device; maybe its just a sparser arrangement
This was just what I needed to see for the circuit tracks!! Being a volca lover I wanted to see how these worked together. Are you controlling the volcas with midi on this? Or just using midi for sync? Outstanding demo either way💯
