    Thank you so much for patiently just "talking" about this device. I just bought one and want to understand its potential better and your explanation of its Scenes function as a Song mode was perfect!

    I think people into this workflow are definitely more and more into the fact that it does it all without a screen. I'm really impressed by teh Circuit line and how it was so good in the first place and keeps getting better. Thanks for saying you gotta consider the cost when comparing to MPCs and Roland sampler. I wish people pointed that out more often. Amazing little machine, very musical and quick.

    A very handy feature is if you place an empty sample at the first step of a sequence, and then record inn while the device is playing. The sample will playback immediately, making it almost like a looper.

    Your intro is incredible. Glad you’re enjoying the Rhythm. Think it’s the most fun sampler I’ve ever used.
    I think if you have the sample gated, then the slope knob changes both attack and release (turning right).

    I plan on getting one next week I was gonna get the tracks but I hate dealing with computers so downloading packs is not really my thing but as this can also sample direct that's a bonus for me not saying I won't download samples but going straight to the source is more my thing iv also got 3 keyboards and synths that are full of preset sounds and drum kits and I can also make my own patches and sample them straight I do have a po KO 33 that's a good little sampler but it's only good for lofi and it's extremely limited with sounds choking out ect ..

    Hey there, I got the circuit rhythm a couple of months ago but wasnt able to do anything with it because of work. now that i have some free time i'm able to mess around a little with this piece of gear. for now I just want to use this for triggering party noise samples. say i load up 8 party noise samples into the rhythm and i take it to a gig will it let me trigger 2 samples at same time?

      @@ivanvelez7668 Is the goal just to press two pads to trigger two sounds at once? The architecture of this sampler isn't really set up that way. The only way to get polyphony of samples is to program them to the sequencer and press play. If you want to do that you're idea will work but if you just want to trigger two samples by tapping two pads, this device doesn't really do that unfortunately.

    Very tempted by the rhythm, particularly because of portability & ease-of- use but have also long admired the Korg Electribe 2 Sampler and wondered what your thoughts were on this comparison?

    • @MattGreerMusic
      @MattGreerMusic  2 года назад +1

      On paper, I think the E2S probably wins that one but for me personally, I resonate better with the Circuit.
