Ah yes - that's the one I've used.
It's a beautiful thing - thank you very much.
You are welcome
It is great for creating stuff from scratch, but like you say, not great for tweaking because it doesn't get params from the hardware.
You guys are scaring the children.
How long now until you can join the party ? Erm I mean until Goodyear Jr. can join the party
The Boy gets his thing after Santa buggers off in the morning. I am trying to decide how to play it (literally and metaphorically
). Tempted to try the 'Well, it's a present for us both, you and the old man together, we'll share it....' but remembering myself at that age that might put the poor kid right off....there is also a Launchpad Mini under the tree, so, as mentioned, I'm rather hoping that will prove initially more immediate in its rewards (no idea really) and thus he might be happy to bash away on that while Dad 'sets-up' the Circuit for a few days.... 
Probably not.
I do want to get the firmware updated (he says casually with no real idea what that means/will take) before we go away (New Year's Eve) and get at least a basic handle on anything I might need or require for it before then, because we'll be in the middle of nowhere (Virgin Gorda) for ten days and I hope to really work on my Circuit muscle memory while laying on a hammock etc.
Firmware upgrade is easy, you use the same website as you do for loading and saving patches/sessions.
From your lips to my fingers etc although that came out sounding a little different than I intended...really looking forward to getting (our) hands on this and am grateful for the path already lit by others etc.
You're a good man, @JohnnyGoodyear.
@JohnnyGoodyear Yup. Super easy. Quick too.
Merry Xmas!
Thanks Mister Zoo and Mister Kith too. Now if I could only get some sleep
Update please.
Mine has been wrapped and now unwrapped.
Just gotten ours (wrote mine but then edited for posterity etc) out and (as referenced elsewhere) am struggling to get on the register/update firmware site; we are not alone
Which I actually think is cool, except for the bit about me getting it updated 
I love that it's small and feels well weighted. A little intimidated by the lack of muscle memory etc. Feel like a nine stone weakling in front of a large Nautillus weight machine. It's going to take a while.....I take it you are already on your third or fourth session and have it hooked into Gadget somehow?
I cant slog through all of this jumbo mumbo, is anybody usig this successfully as a midi controller for ios synths? Dos the scale mode work??
Not had much chance to play today.
I haven't hooked to Gadget yet to be honest. Have until now thought of it more like an antidote to the iPad rather than an addition.
I guess it would have its advantages if you fancied making 200+ bars of blank scenes in Gadget and then just went for it on the Circuit with full midi out performing a live two synth and drum machine jammed performance.
With the idea being you then go back to Gadget and finesse into a studio type track.
Yeah, funny. Normally not being able to update/register etc would cast an irritated pall over proceedings, but I don't mind a bit. Plenty to just start fiddling with. AND I absolutely agree as regards hooking straight away into something else. I am hoping the independent noodling lasts for at least a little while....of course my first pattern sounded perfectly lovely and I wanted to immediately copy/paste it into AP and get some fabfilters going on it, but that's just a different kind of muscle memory/habit at work.
What I could really do with is the seven hour car ride (before they built the bypass) from London to Devon, dad at the wheel, me in the back, nothing to do but make mistakes and figure it out, the reassuring weight of extra batteries in my pocket.....
I use it as a general controller for gadget, the pads in scale mode for playing live gadgets, the rotaries for controlling gadgets, also I get a lot of mileage having the two synced by midi clock..And have stuff playing in both......it is also really easy to program a pattern on circuit controlling a gadget, And then record the midi into gadget and let it play it back to a gadget and then start a new pattern on circuit for the next gadget.
Yes it does, use synth1 on circuit and it will send on midi channel 1, synth 2 is midi channel 2 and the 4 drum tracks send on channel 10
Fantastic, thank you!
Still in Kindergarden with this box, but what a superior way of making basslines....
....funny how we learn in puzzle pieces and rarely in linear fashion. Was rewatching Mister Cuckoo's jam hoping I would get some clue how to connect up the Circuit, the little interface thingie, and the Arturia KeyStep (I didn't
) but gleaned much else useful just from watching him set up. Not the least of which was the fact that you can hold four pattern pads down at once and then record an extended line. I know. Simple stuff. But you have to learn what you don't know at some point if you're going to end up knowing it etc.
What's superior about it for you?
Trying very hard not to use derivative/generic terms, but can't help but say 'ease of flow'. I think after so much time (happily) hitting buttons and the like at software, the noodling of a line by bashing at physical pads (remember, I am a hardware novice) and the constant over-writing/adjustment as you go and then, in the same moment, twiddling params and effects with knobs which you are automating/recording, again all in the moment, leads to -in the end- the ears making the choice about what's good (to me) not what might be good in a bit. You can go through so many permutations so very quickly that the intuitive self gets to be the boss. Of course if I want to DO something with it I can't exactly ACP in the moment, so that bit of the joy gets postponed, but in a way perhaps that's part of it also; concentrate exclusively on what's in front of you, not be already onto the next thing....AND, I have hopes that chaining this together will help with the 2017 structural intention of getting past the collecting of stand alone packets of pretty sixteen bars.
On the other side of things; after an hour of doing that I am really looking forward to hooking up the Keystep to iSymphonic in AUM and just having a play
Good stuff. Cheers @JohnnyGoodyear
That I think is the real strength of the Circuit, it forces you to just go at it and PLAY those pads and knobs to get the best results.
I honestly find it very similar to Gadget in lots of ways. Maybe it's how I think.
Kind of like having to use a simplified Gadget with your eyes closed.
The main appeal for me is getting really familiar with it and being able to then jam reasonably long sessions live - mixing some pre-written patterns with live playing and pattern/sound adjusting.
Grooveboxes!
Exactly.
The sample flipping is the master stoke.
It transforms it from a limited 4 instrument drum machine into a really powerful drum machine IMO.
Suddenly you can have really interesting textured percussion parts (hats, wood blocks, different tom toms etc) using multiple samples and messing with velocity and automation.
Then I've also applied the 'add some high notes into the bass synth part' trick. And you still have another whole synth free to do other stuff with.
For deep house type stuff it's now sounding quite full and complete.
I'm really yearning for this Mobmuplat iPad editor though - because breaking out the laptop to design synth sounds is not something I'm a fan of.
I certainly agree with this. Fingers crossed that some kind obsessive soul scratches the itch...
Haven't loaded any samples up into it yet. Still at the base camp of learning the basics etc (appropriately). However, do have libraries of one shots I've rarely bothered with which are now going to get a revisit....I'm guessing/hoping that with some sensible husbandry 60 seconds may not be plenty but at least be enough.

Me neither.
That's definitely going to need a laptop.
I quite like a lot of the samples it comes with so at some point I'll try and create a bit of a mixed bag of some factory and some of my own.
The controls on the samples are really good for allowing you to shape, pitch and distort them into something that sounds right.
Yup. Once I got comfortable with the FX automation it's only the imagination's limits which can stop the possibilities of the groove etc.
Already (and often) long to simply 'open in' a pattern to AS, but I guess that's the grease to eventually figure out how to successfully connect the Thing to the UCA202 to the Big Boy etc. There'll be a lot of trial and error (and whining) but needs must when the Devil drives etc.
