circuit rhythm is coming later this year, I think Novation will have some info about it... So Circuit Tracks? For you? Yay? Nay? And yes it is in stores now: (US) imp.i114863.net/0kgRJ and (EU) redir.love/4kIaa6oq (affiliate links)

Can you send the click track out of a separate out with the new feature? E.g. if I was working with a live drummer could I send that click to their head phones without sending it out with the rest of my signal? If so is it easy to change the tempo or is it a guessing game?

Sorry Bo, but again I'm a little nonplused. When I read that it still needs to be paired with a computer to load certain things (inc samples), I started to glaze over. It's also quite pricey -seeing that an extra 100 bucks gets a Polyend Tracker, and a 150 less gets one of those mind blowing Sonicware 8-bit grooveboxes, both of which have a unique sound, but Novation is again just a bit too clean and 'digital' as you rightly state. Happy to be proved wrong of course, but so far it's not sending me. So, nay here for me.

Ya, it is for me. The upgrades fix my workflow issues with the other one. Simple synth engine controls, separate midi. If I get more comfortable with my MC-101 I still won't be getting it, so time will tell whether I need it or not.

@@DanielC__ I appreciate your concerns But fear not, I understand your point, especially for musicians/artists in these times, when noone is aloud to perform, And money aside, it damn hurts not to be able to play for an audience while Corona. I m playing piano, keyboard and organ, guitar, bass and the drums. And I'm practicing the cello for a year. And yes I m singing too. For 26 years now. Still eager to learn more than rock/ pop/funk. Looking into jazz and classical music. And oh my, I love winds, but I can't play the sax or trumpet. So I thought a more experimental sound for the keys would be interesting. The beauty of it is that there is always something new to learn. appreciation to those who love to make handmade music, even if it's electronical. STI All the best, Alex

When I first saw the specs I kind of thought “that doesn’t really seem like they changed anything” and I was kind of disappointed, watching your review I’m understanding that maybe they added exactly enough, enhancing and filling out the best features of the circuit to really make it close to perfect for its users. I feel like they did the exact same thing with the launchpad line last year, and I’m really happy to see them reaching a point that these neato tools for electronic music control can really be refined and feel like high quality instruments all by themselves. Great review as always, thanks, Bo!

Hey Bo, thanks for the comprehensive review, as always! 👍👍 Quick question - is pattern chaining still implemented in the same way as OG Circuit, now that the Scenes are involved? The old format of going back and forth, chaining pattern 1 three times in a row followed by pattern 5 twice and pattern 8 once? That was very good, does pattern chaining still function in this way in the new unit? Can you chain the Scenes out of numerical order as well? 🤷‍♂️🤔

Knew you'd be 'in the loop', great video! A little disappointed the synth engine is the same as original Circuit, but that probably makes a lot of sense for compatibility. The loading of sound packs/configs from SDCard is interesting, can you confirm whether these are the same SysEx files used by Components? This device would fit nicely into my minimal system; I can see that the Midi tracks could control my UNO-Synth/UNO-Drum and use the Circuit's synth for lead(s) with better samples(/capability) overlaid. I'll have to dig into the Effects engine further.

Hi bobeats! Can I play the kewyboard of my synth instead of the pads of tracks? And can I loop a progression chord over another of my synth through the circuit track?

Thanks for the video Bo! One question I couldn’t find an answer for in the documentation. Can I set notes from an external keyboard? I mean press a step and set its note from an external keyboard like you can with electron devices? Thanks!

For a newbie getting back into grooveboxes - would you reccomend this or an MC-101 ?

Circuit is way easier to use and Mc101 has more versatile sounds and is deeper

I own an EMX, Electribe 2 sampler, Electribe 2 synth, OP-Z, Pocket Operators and a couple of iPads. I also own a Circuit. It’s the worst bit of music gear I’ve ever bought, incredibly limited and not in a good way. This costs £360! You could get both Electribes off Ebay for that! Or an OP-Z which is mikes better. Or just get an iPad. Wipes the floor with a Circuit and you can do so much more with it.

@@DoctorNemmo Take a listen to Mistabishi to see what you can do with the Electribes! My personal pick would be an OP-Z or an iPad. The Circuit is just too limited for its price point. £360 for 2 synth tracks and 4 drum tracks.......and you have to hook it up to a CPU and mess around using software to create and edit sounds. May as well just use a cheap laptop running Ableton Live Lite by that point!

Have they improved the pan setting? Have they now introduced pan-per-step settings or is it still the old set-and-forget pan-per-track?

Hi Bo, sorry that might be a noob question but is there a built-in arpeggiator on this thing? Thanks in advance

Hi Bo, I’m a circuit user with a tracks on the way, but I’m new and relatively unfamiliar with most other synths. If I wanted to play a subharmonicon through the circuit so that I can use the reverb and relay FX on the subh and then have the circuit acting as a drum, what would I need to do? Basically, how would you allow the sequencer on the sub to play through and in time with the circuits drum without actually sequencing any of its sounds. Love your videos, thanks!

Was looking to get the regular Circuit, but the Circuit tracks looks even better. Question though: can you keep it running with a powerbank if you're on the road?

How do you save your various pack to SD card? Do you have to save them in a folder with a specific name? Then separate folders within that folder? Or do you just save the syx and circuitpack files on the SD card and Tracks auto detects them? Or do you set it up through the software? Thanks

I am a little bit let down maybe I expected too much. Does it have more effects than reverb and delay this time? Sorry if you mentioned this and I missed it.

Its 100% the same engine. So synths, sample player and fx are the same.

Thanks I guess the takeaway here is the original is so good that it is harder to be impressed with a new version. They did too good of a job updating it and designing it to need to reinvent it entirely. The new features are great but I wanted an easier excuse for supporting the company with my dollars. I probably will end up with one anyway the old one could break at any moment after all there’s my excuse.🙃

I've watched a few of your videos on this and really like what I've seen. Just getting back into electronic music so this is going to sound like a dumb question but can I import my old Linn drum samples into this? Either way I think I'm going to get this just because I like how you make it look fun. Really like your channel!

Hey Coasterdude, you should be able to import whatever samples you want via the sd card or through the components app. You can then assign said samples to any of the 6 tracks (2 synth + 4 drum). Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
