Bits & Beats | Novation Circuit Tracks | Moog Minitaur | Roland TB-03 | DAWless | Deep House Jam

I've been struggling with writers block over the past few weeks. So I decided to go back to my go-to groovebox for sketching out ideas. Today I paired up Circuit Tracks with my Minitaur for that classic Moog bass. Topping of the jam is a simple hit of 303 squelch courtesy of my Roland TB-03.

Apart from being a useful demo of what you can do with the Circuit - it‘s just good music. And this is a quite simple setup, some unmuting and knob twiddling. I’ve watched people go wild with automation, live playing parts, etc. But that doesn‘t necessarily sound as good as this track right here. Banger.

Thx Martin. You’re so right. Give me a simple groove and the confidence to leave it be any day. Appreciate your support.

A proper vinyl release worthy tune here. Well done!

[@chadkay]

Thx for that. I’m working on it. Gonna flip it to my label to see what they think 🤞

Fantastic groove - love it!

[@chadkay]

Thanks a lot. Good to hear you’re feeling that groove.

Love the deep house vibe you have going in this video! And I love it when KZbin shows me KZbinrs with under 500 subs they’re like little hidden gems of creativity and inspiration. I just bought myself the Novation Circuit Tracks after owning and selling the previous model ( I kind of regret selling it ) but at the same time the “new Novation Circuit” had some features that sold me on it. Again it’s nice to see videos like this they fuel my synth addiction lol. keep it up with the videos 10/10 from a fellow Canadian 👍 😎

[@chadkay]

Thx. This might be the nicest comment I’ve ever received. Hope you vibe with the Tracks🤘

[@TheInterGalacticFederation]

[@darkestsunray]

great groove

[@chadkay]

Thx. Appreciate it 🙏

[@vagueversatile]

I really like the bassline!

[@chadkay]

Thx mate. One of my fav things is writing basslines on the Moog.

[@vagueversatile]

@@chadkay me too, I am always using the Minitaur

[@JimKrulicki-qy2me]

Dope track. Have you ever used the mini LS 400?

[@chadkay]

Glad you like the track. Never used a mini LS 400???

[@JimKrulicki-qy2me]

@@chadkay Neither have I. Come to think of it, neither has anybody else I know.

[@aklein4]

So good, so inspiring. Is the Novation playing recorded Moog notes or how did you program the Moog's bassline? Dope jam!

[@chadkay]

Thx 🙏 The Novation is controlling the Moog. I used the step sequencer on Tracks to record the bassline.

[@marklawrence909]

Nice, what is the sample of the drums?

[@chadkay]

Some of my own and some from the Tracks sample packs in Components.

[@marklawrence909]

@@chadkay It sounds really good. Thanks for the information.

[@chadkay]

Thx. Appreciate the feedback 🤘

[@reecedeyoung6595]

What is that kick? 909?

[@chadkay]

Yeah. It’s a 909 sample. Pitched down and the tail shortened in Circuit.

[@reecedeyoung6595]

@@chadkay Thanks, Ive got so used to hearing it processed that I forget how hard it hits when it's raw. Just the right amount of click as well.
