Incredibly well explained sir and kudos for a) not talking while the circuit is playing and b) adjusting your lighting so we can see when squares are lit or not!
Hey Andreas, I just watched all your tutorials on the circuit and I must say you have done a wonderful job. I would only add in this section the ability to transpose the synth parts by hitting play on the circuit, playing the part you want to transpose, then going in to the scale mode and selecting a different root note. This is a great way to add some variation to the pattern along with the octave shift you demonstrated here. It would be great to be able to record these transpositions with automation but its not possible.
+iampeaking Many thanks for your feedback and sharing this info! - Absolutely true. That's a great creative way of working with scales. Thanks, Andreas
Thanks great tutorials, still valid for many of us. Would you have a solution to implement 6/8 metre (time signature) , it seems not to switch smoothly between two session (that both has 6/8). It didn’t run to the end of patterns (and it’s steps) of previous session , instead handover happens in the middle of session, resulting weird drum beat. I implemented 6/8 by making pattern length 12 steps. If you got energy this kind (time signatures) of tutorial is till missing…some songs even change the metre within a song…
YES, this would be crazy good. There is a little workaround. You still have to use the same patch, but you can change the knobs. You can use the record button to change the knobs (envelope, filter, pitch etc) in a new pattern. Just remember to record your default knobs in the first pattern, or they get changed aswell. With that you can have different synth sounds with the same synth in different patterns, but it's technically still the same patch.
Great tutorial, but how do you create a synth 1 or 2 that does not repeat every single bar. Would like to play a synth 2 patch that has some distance between each bar to create length. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can with the newer “circuit tracks” dude by using othr devices with the midi tracks. Also you can stretch the capabilities of the original circuit with clever programming and workarounds!
Awesome. This is so packed with useful info it really makes me feel like I begin to know my around this device. One question: Is your Magic Tone Network useable with the Circuit or only with 8 x 8 devices?
Thank you for these videos. Just to be clear, so you can not assign delay A to the kick then assign Delay B to the Hi-hat? So for the whole drum set+synth 1 and 2 you can only use one Delay preset and one Reverb preset. Correct?
Fine tutorial... a question on this chapter: I heard you could use the Circuit as a sound module: does that imply you can use a MIDI capable keyboard to program the synth parts?
+Video Kallui Either by pressing the tempo button several times at the tempo you desire, or by pressing tempo and then using the lit knob to change the bpm number to the value you desire. Cheers.
+XpressPads Finger Drumming Great, so it IS there, i couldn't see it. It was actually impossible it wasn't there. Thanx!! Do you think I could have fun using circuit with mini nova using them in synch? I have a kaossillator pro + too...
+Video Kallui Well, I haven't tested using Circuit in sync with another device, just in stand-alone mode. However, I can imagine that this is a setup that can work quite well.
+Andri Bayuadjie I'd say that's kind of complicated as there are only 8 patterns per song available. The only thing I can imagine doing what you suggest is to use different songs (sessions) and storing the different song parts there. However, as there are only 32 song slots available on that device (whereof 16 are factory presets) you'd run out of song slots quite quickly.
So we must make one pattern for intro and then another one for verse and another one for chorus etc separatly. And then record every part to the DAW like pro tools for example?
Andri Bayuadjie Well, patterns are just 16-step-sequences. You can chain 8 of these togehter which makes a "session" or "song"... veeeery short song. That's why I'd suggest to use one song per part (verse / chorus / intro / etc.) and chain them together via live switching of songs. Not very well-solved on that device if you ask me.

This whole series is great. Thank you so much. ❤

Transposing and choosing different scales are two different things?
Thanks great tutorials, still valid for many of us. Would you have a solution to implement 6/8 metre (time signature) , it seems not to switch smoothly between two session (that both has 6/8).

Great tutorial
+Mark Valleley Thanks, mate!
If I screw up while playing on synth one, how do I delete it so I can redo it?
Thought I have learn about shift and ovative also how change the pitch of synthers
Would be great to choose different synth patches for each of the 8 patterns individually, like the MC-101 does in Clip mode.
YES, this would be crazy good.

Thanks making these videos. Dope!
Great tutorial, but how do you create a synth 1 or 2 that does not repeat every single bar. Would like to play a synth 2 patch that has some distance between each bar to create length. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks. You actually solve that via the pattern section itself. That's the place where you arrange the different parts that you've created.
So no audio with all your videos or just the first five
Hi,
So if I understand well, there are only two synth parts, so you can't have a bass, pad, arp and lead at the same time?
+Alexandre Bique That's correct. Sad, but true...
+XpressPads Finger Drumming Thank you for the answer. When they'll manage to get a few more synth parts and drum parts I'll probably buy ;-)
You can with the newer “circuit tracks” dude by using othr devices with the midi tracks. Also you can stretch the capabilities of the original circuit with clever programming and workarounds!
if I can chain this together with a Roland MX1, TR8, System 1 and TB3, I'm getting one asap. Do you know if it's possible?
+Freddy Marcel-Marcum you sure can :)
Awesome. This is so packed with useful info it really makes me feel like I begin to know my around this device. One question: Is your Magic Tone Network useable with the Circuit or only with 8 x 8 devices?
Thanks for your kind words. Unfortunately you can't use the MTN with the Circuit.
@@XpressPads That's a pity, thanks for your reply!

How can you manage the speed? s there any tempo knob?

how to make full arrangement song that contain intro-verse-chorus-interlude kinda things in this circuit?

is it possible to change length of pattern so it will loop the mid section? e.g. loop steps 9-16 or 5-12
thx
I agree great job but I’m didn’t hear tone 1. And I being a jerk. Probably
This pad is fucking hard to use
