A live, semi-improvised jam centred around Novation's new little groovebox. I started out this hardware journey on the original Circuit, and since then have tried one or two pieces of gear, but it's a real pleasure to come back to my first inspiration. The Circuit Tracks is a brilliant iteration on the Circuit's design, adding a pair of mono audio inputs and two dedicated MIDI tracks, as well a bunch of other quality of life stuff. It was a great place to start into hardware sequencing and performance before, but now it's basically my first choice whenever someone says they are looking for where to start out.
Kudos to the Volca series, as well, for offering analog sound and decent interfaces at ridiculously good prices. The Volca Bass and Keys both sound great, with the Keys especially having a lo-fi quality to it (love that reverb). Paired with the Circuit, they really come alive.
Novation Circuit Tracks - Drums, two synths, audio routing and effects
Korg Volca Bass - Arp-sort-of-thing
Korg Volca Keys - Pad
Written and recorded over a 48-hour period, performed live, and with compression, EQ, and limiting on the master.

Brilliant. More circuit tracks jams please.

[@mozadak]

It is in my favourites and I keep listening to this over and over for years.

[@fernandomercado5519]

Incredible composition.

[@ianmitchell4745]

I also appreciate that you don't talk over the music but clearly show and explain what you are doing.

[@2MinuteWarning]

Four-on-the-floor challenge met without any doubt! 🤩

[@alifeinyellow]

I love my Tracks and Volca Bass. These budget pieces of gear absolutely prove that you don’t need to dump thousands to make good music. Excellent jam. I also love just tweaking the frequency while playing with the muting on the mixer. Such a fun way to make the most out of one sequence.

[@DominicJacksonFilm]

this song is so cool bro

With the volca fm it will be mind blowiing

Best channel for actual demos, with good musical style, and nice text explanations.

[@sebanetchannel]

Excellent !!!

[@user-cp5lg3qe5r]

Incredible...

[@andrewmanzano]

Great music and emotion coming from just a few pieces of gear! Love it!

[@museric2007]

Awesome video, thank you. I have all of the volcas and this seems like a perfect partner to them!

[@cat-space]

incredibly cool👍

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

The "Hoskianna" is BURNING here ! So Sweet to open the browser , and a New JH tune has ticked in ! Thank You Jay - You...Are...The...Best...!

[@clintdevine5162]

That was an awesome example of what you can do with the circuit

[@ptshi_channel]

I’m grateful mate. I just started my journey in the DAW-less universe with circuit and seeing how you handle those pieces of hardware to make an amazing jam is inspiring, insightful and motivating. You’ve got a new subscriber!

[@briknole3455]

¡Gracias!

[@seanbailey39]

Great little track sir.

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

I really loved this piece of music. Uplifting with positive anticipation of what was coming next. It really held my attention with moments of wandering imagination here and there. Great work. More please.

[@peterknowles3198]

Just starting out in Synths and have purchased the Circuit Tracks. Thank you for such an informative video.

[@darren3627]

Great video, great track. I have one stuck in backorder limbo right now, can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@dmallegro613]

I find it inspirational ... and I like the vibe, especiall\y second part ...

[@TilliKommunikation]

Great work! If only I had discovered the Circuit Tracks earlier.

[@TheCheeriosMan]

Goodness! Love it! I was already climbing the fence to save up for a Tracks and now I don't think I can get over the fence fast enough. Thanks for your videos. They're awesome!

[@cuttlefishpie3731]

Better than most stuff I hear on commercial radio! Awesome!

[@javiernunezr5208]

Simplemente perfecto!!

[@Alpha-iu2ny]

Sick 🤘🏽🔥

[@Raku777]

Thanks for sharing. I found the music very pleasant. It demonstrated the unit well and was better than a review video as far as conceptualizing the NC.

[@Old_Man_Jay]

This was dooope! I got 2 Volca FMs and about to buy a Circuit Tracks today! I'm so excited to finally get my hands on one!

[@cityman311]

Very Nice track

[@DJDiskmachine]

That sounds hella nice! 🥰

[@johnvanjones8274]

I just got a Circuit Tracks but really no idea how to use it. This helps and inspires. 👏👏👏

[@lasko303]

easy does it! nice one jay 🤘

[@nebula0697]

Circuit Monostation, Tracks, and forthcoming Rhythm are awesome. Now Novation need to make a Circuit-sequencer-based multitrack to compete with Roland Verselab and similar.

[@GEOSynths]

Awesome Jay :)

[@teckno_senpai]

killer demo and knowledge sharing... i am DEFINITELY gonna get circuit tracks now lol very soon....

[@595Anton]

lovely video! thank you :)

[@jaydeepalmer]

Hey nice jam!!

[@tweakmygroovebox608]

Lovely composition, you got an almost analogue sound out of the Circuit synth engine to complement the analogue Volcas. I will be upgrading from my OG circuit to the circuit tracks soon. Thanks for uploading this and for your helpful notes as to what you're doing. I tend to use the mixer to cut and open/fade parts, too. I think I'll be using the midi tracks a lot as well as the probability and scenes, too.

[@tassoau7153]

very great track

[@303808909ct]

Awesome man

[@LDPIX]

top sound from a tidy set up!

[@user-ho1io2tf5o]

Lovely 🥰

[@Antonio_Ortiz]

This video sold me on buying this setup.

[@tailwindmechanics7454]

Awesome stuff Jay thank you very much, very informative and also nice and simple, yet still has a vibe and one that resonated. I'd love something longer sometime, something moody and ambient, a journey. Hope you're well Jay

[@JayHosking]

Agreed. It's time to get back to some more ambient pieces. I've got a really special synth coming and I'll be hooking it up to the NDLR straight away. And thanks so much!

[@tailwindmechanics7454]

@@JayHosking Awesome, that's something to look forward to!

[@nebaunnmanhattan]

Jam🔥

[@MichaalHell]

Really great song! Really left me hanging with coming in with that second bass note though 😄

[@JayHosking]

Hah!

[@eliaswarg6818]

Ok i just ordered a Tracks. More of these jams plz :)

[@RomanZajats]

I am volca gear fan, great work !

[@BottleBass1977]

That was mind-blowingly awesome. And yes, I too love the Volcas (I have the Drum and the Bass - both great little boxes). Up until now, I've not really looked at groove-boxes like the Circuit but this video has convinced me of the need for a deeper look. My thoughts after watching this video are that I think it'd be a great pairing with the NDLR, and I'm also needing some sort of polyphonic pad synth (well, maybe a pair of Volca Keys poly-chained?)

[@drKrollspell]

Great!! So good 😀 !!

[@ohmynoche]

Flat out great song.

[@tavi3938]

I NEEEEEED IT

[@playtpiano]

i love the novation circuit tracks too

[@hoover2615]

I've been thinking about which drum machine to buy... Then I saw this and realised that the Circuit actually could give more than just drums!

[@seanspartan2023]

I think the Volcas pair nicely with the new Circuit. I plan on hooking mine up with the FM and NuBass when it gets here.

[@basspartout]

Very nice! Came over here from the Midlife Synthesist! Subbed!

[@Treenote]

Nice track. The Volca keys really has a lovely tone. Never selling mine.

[@MIXtofMusic]

Sounds Jaytastic! Beats and greetz from Germany! 🎶🎵🎧🤖👌
