What's everybody's preferred song export method?
**Please Novation:
Panning, per step and per track!
Sample start and end (so we can extract hits from breaks, and
reuse different parts of the same break without taking up more memory
Freely assignable midi channels including per drum part
Automate nudge feature
Allow synth flipping just like the sample flip feature
Automate Patt switch feature
Automate pattern length changing
Please unlink all drum parts !!! but keep link as an option.
allow quintuplets
Tempo automation of patterns
individual swing per parts -synths/and all drum parts... swing per step would be super sic as well as global swing automation.
Metronome with adjustable volume separate from master volume
Urgent- need new fx (not bit crushers,decimaters, or distortions) but instead, frequency mod fx, glitching fx, fx that bring out harmonics in samples, reverse
Add 2 sample based oscillator choices to the 2 already present synth parts
**
I just record on the fly into Blocs building up as I go, mixing in other apps at the same time. I like to pipe it through my PC Daw running Looperator back into Blocs as well. I tend not to do much 'Circuit only' sketching any more.
Stat!
slight problem guys, my 'send samples to circuit' tab is not lit like the others it's greyed out, circuit is on and connected to lappy any idea what it could be?
never minds.
okay, what's the freakin deal with the volume on this thing, I've got headphones on and the volume dial at 3-o-clock and it's not loud enough?
There's no way to unlink the drum channels. Don't hold your breath on panning. Turn the headphone dial up to 4-o-clock.
oh yea of little faith, have you forgotten that the launchpad app and blocs wave also did not have panning, but Novation in their wisdom added this crucial missing element of our fundamental mixing dna to the Novation Whiteboard, the realm where all common sense request spend their days waiting to prove themselves worthy.
Alas there is but one bridge left to cross and that be the Circuit.... and according to their responses regarding said feature it's almost as good as done.
but I feel you on that fo-oh-clock-tho
anybody know what's the reason for the drum parts link in the first place?
also
is there a way to launch a row of patterns all at once?
No.
Press all patterns you want to launch at the same time
Here's a link to the manual too:
https://d19ulaff0trnck.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/novation/downloads/10690/circuit-ug-en_0.pdf
Does anybody get 'pops', caused by the change of fx, when switching sessions, when the sequencer is stopped?
thanks for both.... maybe they can add a shift+1st pad to launch a row, 8 pads at once is a little cumbersome if not allot.
can't seem to find it in the manual, does the circuit support 24bit samples?
No, 16bit mono only. Well, you can load stereo files but they will be converted to mono for you.
When I started with Circuit I was trying to use 1 session per track.....I am now using 1 colum,n of 4 sessions for a track, this allows me to have 4 different setups for the track, whether that be different synths, different patterns or a different default mix.
e.g Have 1 sessions saved with all tracks muted except say Synth 1. Have another session saved with all tracks unmuted......you can then easily switch between the two sessions, you can tweak away within a session, and then just select the sessions again to get back to where it started
What would be nice would be the ability to specify in a session whether everything except the patterns could be left as per the playing session if playback is enabled. This would allow you to carry on the same tweaks across switched sessions.
thanks guys
I think you are looking for a different machine...
One last word from my side:i assume you need double the ram and double the cpu power for the panning (aka true stereo)feature.But yes,maybe novation comes up with some magic and proves me wrong.I really hope so.
regarding manual or other stuff.The "official"manual is dated.It doesn't cover all the features they added with updates.But there is a file section on the circuit owners Facebook page with tips (and a lot of other stuff like drumkits etc.)regarding the newer features.
Cheers for this
I spent my first many weeks of circuitry, recently, not liking it much at all, so I hardly touched it and never got to learn any of it. Mainly it was not being able to know in detail what exactly was changing each time I moved a knob - that was intolerable. Also, the big prominent filter cutoff knob over there in the far corner disappointed me in that it opens or closes the whole device, not just a specific track. When would that ever be valid to use? It's just silly having it like that.
However, I've scaled down my expectations of it and have come to like it somewhat. It's not quite what I assumed it would be, and doesn't quite fill my requirements, and if I knew what I know now I actually wouldn't have bought it at all, but I'm at the stage now that I don't want to immediately turn it around and sell it having only just obtained it.
I think there's two huge advantages for me to have it around. 1thly, it can be used without my reading glasses. 2ndthly, it's quite nice to think of it as a 'rhythm section' to get things going on. I've abandoned any idea of doing melodies and actual tunes on it. At the moment I'm just trying to noodle around doing reggae-like backings. The limitations of patterns being only a bar is a problem in reggae as the drums are half the timing and will typically span across a pair of bars as a unit while the rest of the instrumentation - bass and choppy guitar - will think of things per bar.
It's still not engaging me too much because the two Nova "heritage" (eh? What does that mean) synths it has in there might as well be anything, I can't actually get at the parameters and play it like I would any synth (ie by the knobs) but on the other hand, the idea of macro-king several ganged parameters together does have an appeal. If only I could see what it was changing and by how much. The limited drums are fine by me, in fact, ideal - that's about how much drums I need, and no more. The two synths are a bit restricting, yet three would cause me to not look further than just that box.
I don't know, I still might sell it and get something with proper labels on the knobs. If I knew I could get back what I paid for it (and I bought it secondhand), it'd be out the door today. In the meantime, it's amusing and kind of growing on me, but not 'scientific' enough - too many guesses involved to tolerate, which results in my hardly ever wanting to turn a knob, and only when a knob turn is rehearsed several times (about twenty or thirty) do I allow a knob movement to be recorded in a brief push of the record knob.
You can chain patterns to make them up to 8 bars long, you don't have to only use 1 bar patterns.
tunes saved in memory even when changing batteries?
I've not been brave enough to try that LOL, if unsure you could connect the power while changing the batteries I guess.
Yes, tunes are saved in memory without the batteries.
Thanks for being the brave one LOL
It would be a pretty poor design if you were able to lose your work just because you had to change batteries.
Very true, but until you actually try it, you can never be sure
I guess it is not a good idea to leave it with no batteries in it for any length of time.
