Umm, good question! I don't use mine as anything but a stand-alone device, so I'm honestly not too sure about that. Sorry!
@kobamoto I suggest you wait before buying for 3 reasons (except panning!)
-Lights are way too bright in dark environment
-Knobs are too sensitive/fast for fine tuning
-Pads are definitely not for beat making
ok thanks anyway,
@korakios, there's no dim control on the lights?, what do you do put some dull white scotch tape on the pads to dim them?
so there is no shift+ for less sensitive tuning for the knobs?
pads might not be that impressive but would you say they were at least as good as the sp-303/404?
can you audition sounds before dropping them in or they only sound when the step sequencer passes?
Tape would be a workaround but it would change the look and feel of the pads. Unfortunately I bought Circuit new, else I would open it and paint the LEDs inside. ( don't want to void warranty). Maybe sunglasses would help in bed
Shift &knob? Haven't tried it! **Maybe others like the speed of the knobs for quick tweaks ** ,but I expected to be more precise as an endless rotary.
Pads tend to register more on offcenter area, than hitting them on the middle. Also you have to hit a bit harder than expected (especially on center of the pad) or they don't trigger.
Sp 404 are real pads, I don't think the pads of the Circuit where meant for beat making (very small) ,but expected better quality.
I would definitely buy Curcuit again ,but only used one for less money.
I don't have any issues with the knobs myself, but the pads are so so overall. I think they're fine for the price and size, though certainly they're not on par with say Push 2 or Maschine pads. Scotch tape on them sounds a bit extreme to me, but hey if it works!
And yes, you can audition sounds before you sequence, just hold the Note button while in the preset screen and you temporarily engage the keyboard mode while Note is held.
matter of taste i guess.i didn't see this as problems before.I like how the knobs move (there is nothing worse for me then turning a knob 10 times before i reach the desired value) and you can limit the range of every value that is assigned to a macro knob.Although this has to be done per patch and in the desktop editor..As a finger drummer...that's not really the concept with it's fixed quantization to 4/4 and 16 steps.Not much fun for finger drummer here anyway.i wish we could turn of the quantization for this purpose.The concept works good for the synths with the switchable scales imo.
I'm still seriously thinking of replacing my MC 505 with a second Circuit.That would solve the panning problem a bit
I love the 505 but it's THAT complex (and not really intuitive) that i always have ro dive deeper into the manual after i haven't used it for 2-3 weeks.
Besides missing panning for each track (which i think is not possible) i hope they won't add too many new feature in the future
It's becoming more and more a"shift plus this and shift plus that"machine which i think counteracts with the otherwise great and superfluid workflow.
so crabman
can you record knob tweaks from external synths into your circuit?
i can try it this evening.The knobs are sending CC so i assume it should be possible.
if you want a faster answer,you could also join the"circuit owners"facebook group which is the official channel from novation and usually you'll get an answer (for question like this) within minutes.
cool, thank you
see my edit
thanks for the edit as well, don't know if I can take more internet but will look into it
If you decide to sell your 505 please let me know.
I just tried it over USB, you record cc in for the macros, but not for the synth parameters directly. Nice thought though, it does react to the incoming cc, shame it doesn't record.
I don't find this to be the case at all.
I guess the lights are bright, they always look overpowering on the vids, but in use I find them ok.
With regard to the Knobs I suppose it depends how fine you are trying to tune. I don't like the slowness of endless rotaries, these are great for me.
I'm no finger drummer, but I find the pads fine for what I'm doing, you get the odd double trigger but generally they are fine.
The lights can definitely be a bit bright in dark rooms, but it's not as bad as some gear. A Virus TI Polar will blind you with those white LEDs.
I suppose adjustable would be good but too dim in the sun would be worse to me.
The lights appear to be dimmer using batterues.
Some more uses for Circuit that people might not have thought of:
just experimened a little with my box and it turns out you can do that, but only for the 8 macro controls that are already accessible through Circuit's own knobs
i guess that's what he means?The knobs have just one CC each so there is no way to control more than this 8 parameter on other synth.Great that it works.
You can control multiple parameters from a single macro knob, and there's also the mod matrix, you can only record cc for the macro, but that will control the x number of parameters setup for that macro.
You can sequence from elsewhere all cc's for the synths, and I guess if you have a sequencer that can handle NRPN, those too.
Lmao, love it
yes i know,but all of this has nothing to do with the knobs itself,only with the internal synth
i meant recording the knob movements on the external synth into the circuit, not recording any of the circuits own knobs movements.
lol Tarekith
no,thats (afaik)not possible.It has to match the cc of the circuit knobs.
Haha @Tarekith. +10 for the Nick Batt PWM badge. Hope he sees it.
Has the price of the circuit changed at all? Or has it always been $479 cdn?
I thought it was less.
