Great stuff. You're probably the most advanced circuit-bender (if that's the right phrase) I've seen so far, so seeing how you get into making it is really great thanks. I love how you approach patch generation and music making in general, always looking for ways to make awesome and unique sounds.
Jonathan Cross *blush* Thank you. I tend to see the patches as part of the composition, and try to stay away from the presets. For me, the Simple Circuit 3.0 pack was the first step in making the Circuit more than just a cool preset-groovebox. And now that I’ve started using the ReMOTE ZeRO to shape the patch while I play, I’m blown away at how rich the synth engine in the Circuit really is.
Waveformer yep. I need to spend more time with it and the app. Still early days for me! These vids will be an awesome resource thanks. Plus I love the music you make too.
What a great tutorial AND patch. I'm still a novice in the Editor, but this will help get me to explore and understand how to build my own. More of these would be really welcome when you come across other fun and unusual patches. I'm going through your past videos and looking forward to future ones.
@@Waveformer I just followed the tutorial twice. I forgot to Save properly, so did it again, but spent more time playing with a lot of the controls to see why you settled on the settings you did. Very cool.
James Wells I might have a rough idea about what type of sound I want to create, but playing around with the controls until it sounds right is the most important part of patch programming 😃.
This is INSANELY AWESOME. Thanks, sir. I haven't used the Circuit much since I bought it about two years ago, but WOW. This thing is POWERFUL.... I had no idea.
This is fantastic, thank you for sharing how you created this hypnotic patch! It's also a good video to de-mystify the Circuit patch editor. I'll have to see what I can come up with now...
Brett Hiorns Thank you 😀. Yeah, the patch editor is really nice. Personally, I try to stay away from the computer when creating music, so I create my Circuit patches using Novation’s ReMOTE ZeRO midi controller connected directly to the Circuit. I have access to all of the Circuit’s patch parameters from the ReMOTE, and I can even edit the delay and reverb parameters in detail, which isn’t possible using the web editor (or directly on the Circuit).
Jocko Homomorphism yeah, you’re right about that. I’m experimenting with that as well. The nice thing with the random sample and hold is that you can use it as an on/off source for OSC level by using multiple mod slots, and at the same time as a random level source for filters and such by using just one mod slots.
Fantastic thing! Change the OSC wave shapes to get cool results (too bad I can't assign it to macros). BTW is there any way to get the thing a bit slower? My Circuit is in sync with TR8S and on 120BPM it bleeps madly!
Vladimir Lokhanin Thank you for the tip on OSC wave shapes. If you set the pattern length to 2 or 4 steps, only play the chord on the first step, and use a longer delay, the patch won’t be so frantic when tempo is 120 BPM.
Each note is treated independently by the synth engine. Each note gets a random value from the LFO, which is then used to set the oscillator level for that note.The synth engine doesn’t really know that you’re playing a chord, it just looks at each note individually and assigns a random value for the oscillator volume just for that note.
@@Waveformer me need to catch up after boring heavy work load...gonna dig and find...thank you..and congrads for appearence..big step..but you looked cool😉☺
So each note triggered at the same time gets its own S&H? Thats a really nice and powerful generative trick! Got me reading customer.novationmusic.com/sites/customer/files/downloads/Circuit%20Programmers%20Reference%20Guide%20v1-1_0.pdf to see if any of that could be done with midi commands over time. Wonder if the circuit could be single stepped externally.

James Wells Thank you very much 😀. My Monologue is away for service, so I have lots of time to dwelve into just the Circuit. Amazing little device!

Wow that was a journey phew! Thank you! So much appreciated!
Reinhardt Buhr Thanks 😊. I had lots of fun discovering this myself. The Circuit has so many possibilities, I continue to be amazed by it.
@@Waveformer Awesome man, Just got the micro freak and about to plug it in for the first time :D Thank you for the inspiration
Reinhardt Buhr Cool. Enjoy 😀.
This is INSANELY AWESOME. Thanks, sir. I haven't used the Circuit much since I bought it about two years ago, but WOW. This thing is POWERFUL.... I had no idea.
Thanks so much! This is even better than just the patch, now we can create our own! 😁
Great tutorial. Really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Thanks, you taught me a lot about the patch editor and made me think.
Jonathan Spencer Glad I could be of help 😀.

Thank you! Very insightful on how to apply all the modulation routings available
Redbunny5000 Yeah, having a full 16 modulation routines available makes the Circuit extremely capable.
Thomas, been hoping to achieve something like this out of my Circuit since I bought it. Truly inspiring! Thank You
Jack Wilson Thanks 😀. It was a fun experiment.
Mr. Waveforme is a good information! Thank you for your imformation👍
Thanks 😀. Glad you found it useful.
As always , very informative,thank you for your knowledge
Genial! Thanks so much!
And according to the on screen text you even hit note "H". That's impressive. :-)
Abstract Module sorry about that. It’s Bach’s fault. He started writing H instead of B, and Norway followed suit 😀.
@@Waveformer That's a cool bit of music history!
We asked, you delivered. Amazing! Trying this out this evening :-)
this is brilliant, thank you! I have to try this !
Maewen Yeah, do that. It’s loads of fun 😀.
Dude! This is friggin' awesome 🙏
Allan Kristensen Thanks 😀
MasterClass.
Thank you, Sir!
Thanks for this! I'll be keeping this patch for sure :)
Brilliant!!!
Jeeves Preston Thanks 😊
Thank you very much for this, this is staying on my circuit.
Might be a silly question but would it work with Circuit Tracks?
Nice work! You might be able to free up some mod slots by using the time sample and hold instead of the normal one. Cheers!
Jocko Homomorphism yeah, you’re right about that. I’m experimenting with that as well. The nice thing with the random sample and hold is that you can use it as an on/off source for OSC level by using multiple mod slots, and at the same time as a random level source for filters and such by using just one mod slots.

Hi, this is really cool tutorial. One thing i did not get. How is it possible, that it is trigerring random notes from the chord?
All notes in the chords are triggered. But the amplitude/volume is random, so you can not hear all of the notes.
@@Waveformer Sorry i was not clear. I meant how it is possible that only some notes are audible? Shouldnt it affect volume of all notes in a chord?
Each note is treated independently by the synth engine. Each note gets a random value from the LFO, which is then used to set the oscillator level for that note.The synth engine doesn’t really know that you’re playing a chord, it just looks at each note individually and assigns a random value for the oscillator volume just for that note.
@@Waveformer i see. thank you!
Wow Thomas....this is AWESOME!! Err any chance of a share??? X
Inky AT DaMm CaT studios It’s already shared in the files section of the Circuit Owners group 😀.
