First Look at the Novation Circuit Rhythm Sampling Groovebox!

[@AppAxis]

Fyi: the sidechain is triggered by the “step”, not the audio. This means that drum loops will only trigger once, rather than every time the kick hits. But this also means that you can sidechain using no audio, just place steps anywhere you desire. #Dawless #Sidechain #CircuitRhythm

I tell thee what. this is the first demo of any kit over the last 20 years I have heard that I actually like the music of :)

[@RobertMaxwellMediaCorp]

13:13 Dude hitting the button and Jack making that noise simultaneously made me think it was a sample playing

[@electrosonicnebula]

The fake time stretching thing mentioned at 16:00 is key. By slicing you get to slow down or speed up your sample without changing pitch and since you essentially created a drum set you can play the original beat or the new one you created as fast or as slow as you want as a drummer would on a kit.

[@leewightman8619]

It's a key feature on every sampler lazy chop or slice

[@electrosonicnebula]

@@leewightman8619yes, it's a drag. Circuit Rhythm should be more expensive and have time stretching, finer "unquantized" mode, and polyphony. And they should make a 16 tracks supercircuit that does everything the Circuits do and that's a proper rompler too, like Spltrk. I don't care if I have to pay double the price. For Spltrk you have to be into making music on a freakin gameboy. Worse than PC

Ok this thing's pretty cool. This video actually inspired me to get back into my Launchpad MK3! Cool stuff

[@geoffwebber8272]

Jack in 4k, looking super fly! Plus special guest appearance from Lee, blink and you'll miss it.

[@utropiks4617]

Amazing video guys, obrigado! And im just wondering about how would sound if I plug my guitar or bass straight to one of the inputs and record/sample it to play and manipulate it almost we do witha looper pedal which is where my workflow is usually based...That would work and sound decent mates? Would be my dream machine for this price range 🤗

[@ALTCTRLY33T]

Ok, this is the video I was looking for. Great jam on Alex's cam.

[@BillyBatsonMarvel]

Can someone create a hardware circular Rhythm Sequencer like iOS Pattern and focus on drum sounds? Can we also get a EXPORT to .wav features?

[@RonCavagnaro]

Totally getting this! Thanks for the extensive video!

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

This demo made me regret buying one... and I actually like it.

[@dinogoldie9716]

i've already preordered mine direct from Novation. A screeneless, menuless sampler with the Circuit workflow has been top of my gear-wishlist for a long while. My only gripe is that you have to load samples via their proprietary Components webware and put them into proprietary "packs." Other than that, pretty much spot on.

[@bbailey0625]

you dont have to use component software to get samples on the machine, the unit as analog inputs and you can sample directly into the machine.

[@dinogoldie9716]

​@@bbailey0625 I know you can sample directly into it. I was talking about file transfer.

[@bbailey0625]

@@dinogoldie9716 did you recieve yours yet? I preordered mine as well and heard that may not be getting until August

[@dinogoldie9716]

​@@bbailey0625 Yeh mine arrived on Friday. Other than learning the new buttons/features, all I've done with it so far is update the firmware from v1.0 to v1.1 to get the live sample slicing feature. Waiting for this heatwave to pass before I really get into it.

Can i save my project in .wav or mp3 format on SD ? how can i save my music on PC ?

Anyone else not blown away by the filter? It didn’t sweep me off my feet…pun intended.

[@ivanvelez7668]

Hey there, I got the circuit rhythm a couple of months ago but wasnt able to do anything with it because of work. now that i have some free time i'm able to mess around a little with this piece of gear. for now I just want to use this for triggering party noise samples. say i load up 8 party noise samples into the rhythm and i take it to a gig will it let me trigger 2 samples at same time?

[@SonicVibe]

But you still can sample into tracks with components so I don’t want to give up my synth but I’ll probably get both

[@elsantoproductora]

But you can't play samples chromaticaly. The downside is that it is monophonic, if you want to play chords you have to sample them

[@SonicVibe]

@@elsantoproductora I don’t know if I would take this over electron model samples for cheaper

[@SonicVibe]

@@elsantoproductora At this price point I’d rather get electron model samples you can do more patterns but to be fair model samples is the sample playback not really a sampler but I could get used to that

[@elsantoproductora]

@@SonicVibe I'll wait and see if they add polyphony in a future firmware update.

[@EnochDark]

@@SonicVibe well you can't live sample into a samples so there's that. i

[@AutisticCuriosity]

Would Ave loved to see him talk about using it with original circuit. Lots of us still have those - also what happens when u attach a microphone to it?

[@GeorgeL909]

Does anyone know if you can play the samples in a locked scale? Or is it chromatic only? Such as setting the pads to play a sample in mixolydian at a root key.

[@kierojin]

I believe its chromatic only, no scales available

[@GeorgeL909]

@@kierojin gotcha! Thanks a bunch. Maybe in a firmware update in the future

[@PodOfHeat]

You can flip between various different scales on the Circuit Tracks but the Circuit Rhythm is just chromatic

[@GeorgeL909]

@@PodOfHeat for what it's worth, I've since gotten one and noticed that the lack of scales really wasn't missed much. It's actually very playable and easy because the chromatic playback is mapped like a piano, (as opposed to the model samples/ cycles) it's very easy to play any scale, and potentially transpose using the shift+pitch knob or the double octave option.

[@dinogoldie9716]

Hi Andertons. What's the cheapest/simplest way to get a mic-level signal (a microphone) hooked up to the line-level inputs on the Circuit Rhythm? I'm looking for a battery-operated/handheld solution in order to sample outdoors. Does Anderton's sell a cheap battery-powered mixer or battery-powered microphone preamp that can convert mic to line level? The best/chepest answer I've been able to find on my own is the Behringer Xenyx 1002b battery-powered mixer (£85 I think). Any ideas?

[@EvilPilli]

The Rhythm has enough power to get a decent signal through a dynamic microphone. Something like an sm57. I've been using my very shitty Shure PG48 when on the go. And it works like a charm. You would need a XLR to jack cable though.

[@adamjerzyrodewald5752]

32 sec of sampling 2021 wooooooooow

[@RonCavagnaro]

If you have other equipment this gear will be awesome! It is intended as rhythm tracks which usually don't need more than that.

[@osrthejourney]

Did you hear his music? What you got to share? I'll wait. Tired of these lame @ss technical criticisms for excuses. Just grab Ableton suite or the MPC X and call it a day I guess. I've spent extensive time with both of those workflows, and neither of them are as intuitive, or fun to use. He made fire within the limitations.

[@fleebschlehm2467]

@@RonCavagnaro ....it will never End 😝

[@EnochDark]

Pretty excited about this. Been considering something like an RC-505 or even a Tracker... I feel that this box falls somewhere between these 2 things and comes in with a lower price tag at the same time. I put off getting the original Circuit because I already had/have a pletora of synths drum machines and effects at my disposal and thought getting an "all-in-one" box would be counter productive. But with THIS I can sample all of these in and then use it to get even more creative? WOW. Hopefully it doesn't take months to actually get one...

[@longnose7405]

You are the successful version of Gerard Pique and far more interesting :) Thanks for another great vid

[@AutisticCuriosity]

I needed to know if you can change where it splices? Cutting it into 16= parts seems a little irrelevant unless it’s a perfectly quantised sample.

[@GeorgeL909]

You can adjust the start and end time of each slice, so you can select where the slices are, but you sort of have to go by ear, because you can't see the waveform, only a rudimentary representation of the sample position using the pad lighting. It probably works, but you have to find the slice points by ear 🌽

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

I'm not impressed with this... 3. Leg of the Circuit trinity, unless I was a total newbie, but then I'd Still had to have all three, nah, I'd go straight for the Mashine + if I was new and unspoiled by the latest fad of GAS.! Good to see. You Jack 👍🏻😘

[@johnaina8649]

... he's TayTay! LOL

[@dinogoldie9716]

I suspect it's difficult to showcase a sampler on youtube without falling foul of copyright take-downs. Hence why all the demo vids of the Circuit Rhythm are kinda bland.

That Alex guy couldn’t get no sale from me. He needs to learn the machine himself. Im a Novation fan using there apps, such ass Blocs Wave and Launch Pad. This sampler looks complicated, I couldn’t make no porn music with that machine 😆.
