Novation Circuit + Dreadbox Erebus v2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- On this video you are listening to the direct audio with no external effects or processing. No computers here. Any effects are the ones built into the Novation Circuit and the delay built into the Erebus.
these two go together surprisingly well
Das Like- 298 ist gut verdient: Ein schöner Beweis hier, dass die Kombination unterschiedlicher Synthesizer (Analog & Digital) komplexe Sounds ermöglicht!
Excellent performance here : subtle and intense. And so computer-free
This video, along with the other one featuring these machines, has convinced me to buy the Circuit (and potentially the Erebus haha). I was between this and the Electribe 2 but man does the Circuit looks like it's WAY more fun to use.
Great jam!
you won't be disappointed, I would spend time anyway just getting used to the Circuit before adding anything to it. Let me know how you get on.
Bought one yesterday! I love it, within the first 10 minutes of jamming I already had a couple of session that I like.
But you are right, this device is more powerful than it seems at first, so I'll spend a couple of months learning my way through it, and after that I'll start adding my own samples and diving deeper into the synths using the editor.
Only after that I'll get an external analog synth, but really, the Erebus looks about right. Analog, simple layout, and built-in delay. If only I've kept my Volca Keys...
Hey well done, You still need the musical ideas but it lets you do some amazing things. Sorry for delay in responding ! Enjoy
You are creating a world here, nice work!
I enjoyed the music immensely.
Snazzy track, that Erebus is looking (and sounding!) more appealing every day!
+threejean2011 The Erebus is an amazing piece of gear and beautifully made. Sounds brilliant. Happy days. Glad you enjoyed
Now I want a Dreadbox to pair with my circuit. Nice video
+Patrick Fallon You know you want one......... They really do make a nice couple. Good luck
Man they work great together I want a Dreadbox now to got with my circuit pmsl...greatt stuff :)
First time i found the Circuit to sound good ... and i mean really good! Well done :)
Perfect companion to the delicious digital sounds of Circuit. Feathery liquid synths with drums sequencer and gnarly emotional analogue synth.
Nice sound!
Great stuff, Andy! Cheers for keeping hardware alive! :)
Great tune looking forward to getting one of these , great sound subbed
this is so awesome!
Wow. That is inspiring! Nice work. Cheers.
And now the circuit is a sampler too! As a seqencer and sampler with its own sounds too,the price is unbeateable, super fun to sequence my f
Gear with the circuit
Yeah! Very tempted to get one to swap out with my Electribe Sampler as I've never got on with it very well
Fuckin awesome. I just picked up the Novation circuit. I'm pumped. This a great jam
Very nice !
This was very good!
Omg! This is an amazing jam, man. Giorgio Moroder himself would be jelly. Lol
+electrobear31 Cheers, glad you like
Thats pretty cool. I love the sequencer on the Circuit - Its probably the best integrated sequencer I've ever come across on a hardware synth... and yeah, I have found it plays nicely with external kit (shame that it can't recordMIDI data from an external synth... yet! I am hopful Novation will add this in a Firmware update). I also wish it had say, an extra two channels that were especially for external gear - so channel 1,2 and 10 would be the circuit, and then say, channel 3 and four were just channels for external gear that could be sequenced on Circuit... anyway I am dreaming. I really love this thing.
I'm not familiar with the Erebus... sounds great though!
+Clayton Wakefield Totally agree with you. I love using the sequencer on the Circuit. At the moment it seems they are working more towards software to be able to edit the sounds and import your own drum sounds which doesn't really interest me as I love the fact no computers are involved and I don't have to spend my time staring at a screen again ! We can dream about the other sequencer channels .... who knows. Happy music making.
Hey Andy Pidcock did you see Novation have now released the MIDI parameter document (very useful!), a new Patch editor/librarian and Firmware update?! Damn this thing is just getting better and better!!!
beautiful man keep them coming love it :)
I'm running to buy the Erebus... I have a Circuit!!!! Thanks Dude... very nice music...I Don't understand how connect them... Midi Channel in the Circuit... suggestions? :-)
Hey sorry for the delay in response. How you getting on? Erebus yet ? The Erebus will arrive with midi 'omni on' so you will need to open up the back of the erebus (the 4 screws holding the rubber feet in place) and change the dip switches you will see so only dip switch number 1 on will give you midi Ch 1. Dip switch number 2 on will give you midi Ch 2 etc. up to you whether you want it to respond to synth 1 or 2 from the Circuit. your choice. also if you have this set up you might like this www.mixingtable.com/cirebus-stand-circuit-erebus
Nice one !!!
Very good. I think i am sold on the Circuit.. :-)
Hey there, If you have an Erebus then the novation circuit is a no brainer, amazing combo. let me know if you get one !
Master Class!!!
wild! sonds great
GREAT !!!
Wow! Great video. Just can´t decide between this or the electribe... Arghhh decisions!
now you know... look at the new firmware of the circuit. The new Electribe is simply a fail while the Circuit was a very nice new approach before and just became a freaking home-run!
Im getting the Circuit soon. Soooo excited :D
Year later and the circuit it is!
INCREDIBLE

Great demo / performance thanks
dope.
Excellent as always.
very cool
DopE!
pretty cool :)
Cool I want the Dreadbox Erebus v3 to complement my 2 Elektrons and 0-coast when it comes out. Then I can free up tracks on my Analog 4 for drums. Cheaper than a Rytm or Tempest.
This is fantastic. No-computer setups are intriguing. Can you explain how you recorded the audio to a final file for RUclips? Do you have a recorder type hardware off screen? Thanks.
+Aaron Shaver Hi, Glad you enjoyed. I use my trusty old Korg D1200 to record the audio then import the audio as a .WAV file into movie maker. There is a facility within movie maker to move the audio track to match the pictures (as best you can !) Hope that helps
+Andy Pidcock Brilliant, thanks
Beautiful man.... thanks..
Only way this could be better is with a Hades alongside...
Great, grat! ;-)
Hey Andy. This is amazing! I have a circuit amd want to combine it with an external synth. I was thinking about the erebus or lil erebus. What do u think which one will fit better?
Hey there, Any off the dreadbox stuff will sound great and to my ear they really compliment the circuit very well. Think the lil erebus is a diy thing so if your ok with that I guess it will be great. I still love my original Erebus's (I have two now) recently used them on a project for the BBC cos they always sound so damn good ! good luck, you won't be disappointed.
Hi Andy, apologies for setting another question but... I got my Circuit a couple of days ago and struggling a bit with but will persevere. Do you think I might be able to connect it to my Microbrute (don't have an Erebus) for similar results? This is assuming that I have the talent and imagination which unfortunately I don't :)
+Robin Brinckley Hey Robin, It's worth sticking with it, don't give up ! This will be great linked up with your Microbrute. Just make sure your M'brute hasn't got midi omni 'on' assign the m'brute to a either midi channel 1 or 2. this will relate to synth 1 or 2 on the circuit - you've probably worked this out by now. I just sat with a pair of h'phones and just fiddled with the circuit first until you get comfortable with how it works then link it to other gear later makes more sense rather than trying to make everything work together and sound great straight away ! you're right this gear is really great but it still can't replace human musicality. The step sequencer is a good place to start putting ideas down just adding one note at a time you will soon come up with some good stuff. Let me know how you get on would love to hear some.
+Andy Pidcock Hi Andy, thanks so much for taking the time to reply so comprehensively, much appreciated. I'll give it a try as you suggest and let you know how I get on. Thanks again.
Nice !! :D
Damn that sounds good? The dread box digital? I have mine controlling two analog synths for a remix effect
nope, fully analogue!
Great jam! Circuit or Circuit Mono Station with Erebus??? Hmmm... 🤔
The Circuit and Mono Station are chalk and cheese. Really depends what you want. Circuit is much more approachable but, as a consequence, not as deep. Mono Station is a mono synth (as its name implies) and deeper to get the best out of. See ruclips.net/video/yeabaAmqDHw/видео.html
Excellent ! :-)
Hi Andy, really loved the video and gives me some ideas of what I might try out with my circuit and some other gear I have. Alas, no Dreadbox.
One thing I'd like to know as I'm quite new to electronic music. Are you only feeding the Bass synth to the Dreadbox as it seems to me it is only affecting that channel (Synth 2?). If so how, and if not, what's happening so only that channel seems to be the one Dreadboxed? Sorry if this is an obvious thing, but as I said, new to electronica world.
Thanks.
Frank
Hey Frank, Yes you are right. On the Circuit you can use either synth 1 or synth 2 to trigger the dreadbox. Synth 1 is always set to midi chan 1 and synt 2 is always set to midi chan 2 so whichever one you use you will need to set the midi chan on the dreadbox (or whatever piece of gear you have connected) to the corresponding chan. Hope that helps !
Thanks Andy.
I honestly have mixed feelings about the novation circuit.
maybe i am dumb. or maybe its just me but i can't get my head around it when i test it in store. but that price for the performance is attractive.
what are your thoughts? or are you going to do a video soon on it?
+Will Fehlhaber Music Hi Will, I understand what you mean about the Circuit but it depends how you approach it. I'm a keyboard player by trade but this makes you play thing differently and come up with ideas I never would on a traditional 'Keys' setup. Personally I love the fact I'm not checking a screen all the time, it's not an amazing synth engine but a few macro twists and you can get some very usable sounds IMHO, but the drum sounds are great. The best thing by far though is the sequencer and the way you can link patterns and create up to 128 beat patterns for each of the synths and drums is brilliant. Not done a video on it yet, there seems to be so much on y'tube at the moment. I think it will be interesting to see if Novation make a circuit 'pro' would love that !
Great!
oooouyeah!
Cool.
I've been thinking about picking up Circuit for a while and recently won the Erebus in a competition... Could you explain a little on this setup?
+David Holmes Hey, Lucky you winning an Erebus ! I'm a keyboard player by trade and had been looking for something different to create music on and have discovered the Novation circuit and loving it. I have set up the Erebus to receive on midi Ch2 - you have to open up the back of the Erebus (the 4 screws that hold the feet on) and change the 3 dip switches so the Erebus receives on a specific midi ch. It's factory set to omni on so it will receive on all midi channels so you will want to change this. In the the video I use synth 2 on the Circuit (which is always set to Ch 2) will now play both the Circuit sound and the Erebus so by using the mixer function on the Circuit you can mix in or take out the sound of the synth 2 on the circuit whilst leaving the Erebus to do it's thing. If you get complimentary sounds working together it is an amazingly powerful set up. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this set up. Hope that helps and let me know how you get on.
Thank you man! This is great info!
Gonna have to save for the Circuit but it's looking definite!
+David Holmes Just to update you... I sold a number of items and used my Christmas money and picked up the circuit. I love it!
Opened up the Erebus and flipped switches as described this evening...
Then realised I don't have a midi cable in the living-room and can't currently get in the attic for sleeping wives and babies!
ARRGGGHHH!
Thanks again for your help though man! I'll get there tomorrow!
+David Holmes Hey that's great news, Hope you have now managed to get into the attic. You really need to teach your family the importance of midi leads ! hope it's all going well and you are enjoying the circuit and the Erebus. I find it's one of those things that the more time you spend with it the more you realize what it can do :-)
What's controlling the Dreadbox? Can the Circuit control an external midi device?
+Skysick Hi, Yes the Circuit has midi in/out and is controlling the dreadbox via midi. Really easy
Are the fluttery synths that come in at 1:30 from the Erebus?! They're so lush, god.
Hi, The fluttery synth is from the circuit, it has some delay and reverb on it all from the circuit though. The Erebus is the driving bass (ish) part. Hope that helps.
0:18 Ace bass
Not only is this a dope track, but do you have just the 2 1/4 inch cables from Circuit into your recorder/mixer? Thanks
Yep, 2 x 1/4 inch cables from circuit and one cable from the Erebus into the recorder.
Andy Pidcock what recorder do you use
This track was recorded on an Korg d1200mk2, but recently got a zoom R24.
how did you sync them?
Getting started. Would you recommend this setup or?
Hey Dry, If you are just getting started I couldn't recommend the Novation Circuit highly enough. Great to start on and can grow with most of the gear out there that you may want to add to it. If you are just starting out - don't get to much gear first, just get one piece of gear (the circuit) and spend loads of time with it. That way you will understand it inside out then add another piece of gear to it and do the same - spend time with that setup etc. etc. I know it's boring but if you get to much gear at the start you will get overwhelmed, frustrated and won't make good music at the end of the day. Limit yourself, that is the gateway to creativity ! best
Andy Pidcock Thanks for your reply.
So muting Circuit synth stops Erebus. Can you then play Erebus on Circuit pads?
does the novation circuit have sounds? where are you getting the drum sounds and other sounds..
Yep the novation host 2 synths
And 4 drum/sample channels
how is erebus controlled by?
+Andreas Tischer Midi out from Circuit's sequencer
At 2:20 I'm hearing 3 synths. But the circuit has only 2 synth tracks, and assume one is being used to control the dreadbox.
So how are you getting 3? Is the arpeggio a sample or something? (I don't have a circuit so probably missing something simple.)
Hi, Yep you're right ! Two 'circuit synth sounds + the Dreadbox Erebus (which is being triggered by the second synth part on the circuit via midi) + drums from the circuit too
Is the Circuit a good partner for the Microbrute?
Hi, Totally, great little boxes to mix together. Compliment each other very well.
Honeyball Lecter The Circuit is a good partner for anything. Heck even just a looper pedal.
Satyan Patel
Thanks for your answer! Yeah I found out this thing is pretty awesome - especially for what I wanna do with it. Might get one soon :)
No mixer used here?
hi, this was all recorded on my korg d1200 which does have a mixer on it, but all recorded one take. no EQ on the erebus bit of bass rolled of on the circuit that's all. Hope that helps
Do you think it's still worth it to buy an Erubus?
Hi, Difficult one that ! there are sooo many lovely 'desktop' type synths around now however the erebus is just such a nice instrument to use it still feels like a quality piece of gear and if you want that 'analogue' sound they are still one of the best. good luck !
Andy Pidcock Thanks for the reply, I asked the question because I was looking for a desktop synth and was considering the Erubus since it's being discontinued.
Very nice. Just subbed. If you get chance check out my channel...go a few jams etc in there using just hardware. Would be inter sted to see what you think. 😀👍
Amazing! You are sending midi out of the Circuit ?
Hi, Yes indeed !
@@andypidcock Please I have a question, for sets like this that have a grid controller and a synthesizer, is it better to have the grid on the left like in this video, or on the right
@@emmanueloluga9770 Hi, Guess it depends if you are Right or Left handed ? I'm right handed so it just makes sense for me to have the Erebus on the right. Hope that helps !
@@andypidcock oh ok thanks. Also this may be a will question, but does the erebus generate its own CV internally, or is the novation generating the cv here
You could do a LOT more with a MacBook Pro matey.
wow dhope performance bruv
Hey how did you get the keys up on the circuit like that?
+brandon duncan The dreadbox Erebus is hand made and 100% beautiful analogue. You press 'shift' and 'note' on the novation circuit and all 32 pads become notes and works really well.
