My daughter loves this tune so much so started playing her harmonica along with it before bed last night. Got yourself another fan!
hey there, Thank you that's really sweet. Could be whole new set of modular lullabies !
This was real eye opening and absolutely Brilliant. Great job building an arrangement Round the signal / noise
The things you've done with pairing the Circuit with other gear are absolutely amazing.
Glad you like them!
Yes, very nice. Very, very nice. I might add awesome too!
cheers
I like the arrangement of Eurorack and Circuit, nice.
Excellent combo, very good pads which perfectly suit the song.
Coming back for the repeat listen, must be a good sign! I think the first time I got distracted googling all the gear lol. Really great sounds and sequencing, very very awesome, amazing use of minimal gear, massive respect :)
very kind, thank you repeat listener !
Hey listen to this like 15 times in a row. Absolutely love it! unfortunately you have stirred up the creative side of me as an artist I have now ordered my Novation circuit online. I'm excited about starting something new
Hey that's great, let me now how you get on - you will not be disappointed !
Beautiful space sound!!!!
That is a lot of music from these items. Great job.
And a like for this very nice sound mix, exellent demonstration!
wow love these melodies, great job!
Fantastic sound, creative mix!
You get so much out of so little... impressive!
Lovely sounds.
That pad is super nice -
Nice one. I like the variation in the eurorack voice. It reminds me of a John Carpenter soundtrack. Sweet!
great sequence
I am from the future and we love this Music!
Bravissimo, complimenti.
well that was entertainment right there! loved it! ;-)
I luv it.
@3:20....now we cooking!!! Great stuff Andy.
New Age Macgyver jam!
Dude, this is good.
cool sounds, nice
This is great!
Very nice track!
Thank for this, it's fantastic. So what would be your overall opinion about the circuit for ambient purpose?
Hey, The Circuit is great for Ambient stuff but choose your sounds wisely ! the PC sound editor for the circuit is a great help. There are a few more really good youtube videos now with some very good ambient/trance tracks on the circuit, plenty of thumping house stuff to if that's your thing ! like any instrument you have to spend time with the circuit to get the best out of it.
Yes it's what I thought. It's just that I haven't found lots of expe, ambient and drone using the Circuit although the experience I've got with Novation synth engines demonstrated that those are deep and expressive instruments besides being plagued by horrible Novation trend to preset terrible patches (that was already the case on the Supernova). JUST ONE VERY LAST QUESTION, IF I MAY: what's your opinion about the on-board reverb?
The circuit reverb is as you would expect - very usable but not as good as a dedicated reverb unit, however I think the delays are great. Good variety of long/short and multitap delays going on there and the delay time changes with the song tempo. Thx
Excellent.
The Erica Polivoks kit really has my attention. Very likely I'll have it.
I've not seen the Novation Circuit before. What's your impression of it? It appears rather intuitive.
Hi, Erica synths stuff is so well built - no cheap dials, switches or plastic here ! been using the Novation circuit since November and it is still my go to inspiration tool. I use many nice keyboards during the week but I think the circuit is such a musical piece of kit. The sequencer is as you say so intuitive to use and really powerful and I think it suits the whole eurorack thing really well. good luck, let me know how you get on.
Brilliant !!!!
I enjoyed your Video..Nice Melody..
Thank you
Fantastic
Love the song. Is your novation circuit producing those drum sounds?
Hi,
Yep all drum sounds from the circuit
FANTASTIC Sir, I just bought my circuit 3 days ago and have figured most out including the isotonik editor, BUT...... I have a question if you can help : when using a pad sound that is long, how do I keep it from cutting off. I'm not real clear on how to do a pad sound that won't loop in just one bar, but rather carry on further down the bars. Any help is great .... ;)
Hey Rubber duky, Hope you are enjoying your circuit. If you want a continuous pad or 'drone' sound it's not easy on the circuit. I either play the pad sound manually over the top of synth 1 and drums for example or set the decay quite long and this can give the impression of a continuous sound. I have also halved the tempo so at least you get two bars for the price of one which can sometimes help if the rest of your arrangement can allow for that - so instead of always starting your track at 120 bpm start creating your track at 60 bpm and get double the length if that makes sense ! cheers
Take the number of your pattern steps from 16 down to 1 for a decent drone. I just figured that out last week.
Sequence Circuit from another sequencer which has note ties, the one major flaw of Circuit is no note ties.
amazing job, what power supply are you using for the rack?
hey, the power supply for the rack is the intellijel TPS30w MAx with a 40 w power supply. it is the one that comes with the intellijel 4u cases and they are proper power supplies ! here ; intellijel.com/4u-cases/

Very Nice
very cool, what't your opinion on the case and ES vco?
case is solid, and has some weight to it, plenty of power very happy with it. the ES VCO is a lovely thing and brilliantly made.

thanks i watched your erica vco vid just after my comment
nice Maths manipulation. A Master Mather.
Thanks, I'm just a beginner sooooo much to learn !
When Circuit is sequencing module how does playing, same synth, pads affect the module? For example with a polyphonic patch, so the sequence is single notes but then you add pad notes, does the module take the highest note only?
Hey there, Ok lot's of good questions ! So a poly sound from the circuit will trigger slightly 'random' note priority going to the module, as far as I can tell it doesnt do highest note priority so can be random - which is musically interesting. Yes you can mute(or turn down) the circuit sounds and still play the Erebus from the pads or sequence. hope that helps
How do you connect circuit and eurorack together?
Are you sequencing ES with circuit thru umidi? Drum sounds thru ext mixer?
hi, All correct, stereo ouputs from the Eurorack, stereo outputs from the Circuit all going into my korg d1200 for recording. thx
hi, I am about to dip my feet into modular. want to use the circuit as the brain of the operation, is it easy to integrate?
Hey steve, I think the the circuit is ideal for using with eurorack. It does so much so well and not much financial outlay too. Do you currently have a circuit ? if so adding little bits of eurorack slowly will help you understand the workflow better and take your time cos you may think you know what modules you want now but I would just add a little at a time then as your understanding becomes more you can add something that maybe you hadn't realised you needed. Hope that helps and Good luck, it is a never ending journey on this eurorack train !
cool. I have the circuit, and I love it. I sold my op1 and got the circuit along with Roland's system 1m. so they work well just over midi. the Roland has got me interested further in modular! using circuit looks great for performing, which is what I am aiming for.
Sounds good. I would make sure you get a good Midi/cv interface too.
Andy Pidcock Thanks, I'm bidding on a mi yarns just now for that. If it goes too high I'll prob end up going for a CV.ocd
how does novation sync
Hi, Midi out on the circuit into the intellijel umidi eurorack unit. This converts any note info from circuit into pitch info to play any eurorack gear. Hope that helps
one word. STRANGER THINGS AND EIGHTIES.
This is great. May I ask are you playing the whole thing without a laptop ?
Hi, You could be right about Stranger things ! Yep all with no laptop, The circuit doing all the hard work.
this is a very basic synth sound, but its really nice
boring....
