Novation Circuit - Beginner's Tutorial & Feature Explanation | Bop DJ

[@thepcgamer2169]

Great video. I just bought a Novation Circuit from Facebook Market Place. The seller said it was partically new & upgraded to the newer Circuit & sold it to me for £120 fully boxed...Happy days.

[@DJMikeron]

Does it come with a pair of sunglasses

[@lechlerguttersllc9553]

Finally a tutorial that makes sense. Well done mate.

[@silverfox7730]

Thank you for doing this. Much easier to follow than any other tutorial on KZbin! Please do more, as this little beast keeps delivering!

[@Hopeinawe]

Thank you Mark. Your video was very helpful and very well presented. I've already put a deposit down for a Novation Circuit after I an in-store demonstration but I've never had a drum machine before. So I'm very new to it.

[@rickb99]

Just got it and my mind is blown. Awesome.

[@vampin6]

Just got mine I'm so excited about this gear I love mine! Thanks for the vid!

[@sethadcock3325]

Great intro and tutorial!

[@WhySoBroke]

Amazing intro!! Very very well done

[@wutangpaul]

Really well explained, thank you Mark!

[@MyICONIC]

how do you know what sound corresponding to wich pad?

[@morten1]

I like that it's hands on and less menu diving. But also complex. Isn't it hard to learn to use it well? Seems to be a lot to memorize

[@StratsRUs]

Just keep at it.Read the manuals and watch tuts

[@BinxKnight1488]

Nothing worth doing is easy 😌

[@BinxKnight1488]

Its also not too bad. I bought mine earlier today and after a few hours with it im reading the manual less and less

[@deanc2000]

How do you record each sound into your DAW?

[@reasOneMusic]

nice and clear! thanks for this

[@st8kout961]

I find that it really could use a "Reset" button for starting over, after you've experimented around with it. Even without saving it, it picks up up where you left off last time you turned it off. You have to unplug it to remove previous settings

[@vuilgatmusic7333]

St8kout If the session you use it blank, you can retap the selected “session” to clear all. I normally delete everything from the pattern page. I just “clear” all the bars in “patterns” so I can still use the same synths and drums I selected.

[@micheal2489]

Easy to use except for the synth With unmarked pads it’s hard to stay on track with the notes Not like a Midi keyboard any suggestions would help Thanks

[@uramawa]

Super good tutorial!

GREAT EXPLANATION, TKS

[@stefanvanlooy4207]

can I also extract samles from f.e. disco records and than edit them into a new record like Daft Punk used to do? Or do I need other hardware (and maybe software) for it?

[@redcartiers]

What would this be used for? Like a dj show?

[@69birdboy]

@Reed Austin can you get decent full band sounding drums

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

it does exactly what its suppose to do - clear sound , not too loud - perfect in the forrest, at the beach, - a great scetch tool , aswell as a professional midicontroller ,-

[@DJ_TideWave]

Can you sync this with the Korg Volca synths?

[@AStresser]

Yes

[@Medusaradiant]

Want to note that on my product, I cannot stay in live view unless I continue to hold the note button while I play on the four pad view. Otherwise it automatically goes back into note view.

[@frankyr.8514]

Background music is in the way, can’t concentrate?

[@xchalibur77]

Doesn't bother me, actually kinda gave me the ASMR effect 😄

[@gevansmd1]

Can any of these drum synths be used to create drum tracks that don't sound like EDM? All I want is to make realistic sounding drumming.

[@unstunghero9925]

Buy some drums

[@gevansmd1]

@@unstunghero9925 when I have a music room I'll get a drum kit. For now I only have room for one of these.

[@8superben]

Yeah. You can import real drum samples. Than record them so they can sound more human not step sequence them.

[@evannorth5397]

Does the circuit have a pattern chain/song mode?

[@kps2420]

yes

[@Patatacub]

How can I connect my novation circuit and the Launchkey mk3 mini ? I've been trying with midi cables and trs but I don't get any sound. someoe can help me please :)

[@johnyboii12]

you have to "repatch" your cable, cause this two devices use different midi standard ("A" and "B") - so the tip of minijack on one end have to be connected with the ring of the other.

[@nhaezer5121]

Does this have ready made beats, say rock, jazz with variations and fills - like you have on some drum machines and keyboard workstations? ie acoustic sounding beats that you can perform/sing along to?

[@nhaezer5121]

@Poykeh Official Nice to hear. Lemme know if it has ready made beats when you've bought it

[@dr_pavbg8880]

Can I use it without a computer

[@kamal1968210]

Yes

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Yes, but if you have a computer, you can export and import samples and patches, and these can even be bought, to make your circuit sound different. Since the Circuit also sends midi, you can also use it to controle a VST or otter device

[@st8kout961]

Yep. With headphones or powered speakers you're good to go. It has it's own little speaker but it's a bit useless.

thanx- just what i needed to get cracken at my circuit - it does exactly what its suppose to do - clear sound , not too loud - perfect in the forrest, at the beach, - a great scetch tool , aswell as a professional midicontroller ,- ;-)

[@ShnappleMedia]

Good video

[@HappyKaontheweb]

Very clear ! Thank you !

[@morten1]

I love the size and it's abilities all in a little fun box. But my brain cannot understand it. It seems so complex/convoluted. Maybe it just takes some time to get into I don't know

[@barriebland8765]

Can I use this with my bass station 2 ?

[@Saxofaxo]

seems very limiting. Only two synth voices? Anyone remembers kaossilator? You could stack as many synths as you wanted...

[@wifoutteef]

The Kaossilator might’ve had infinite layers, but it had no editing, no quantization, no visual of the pattern. It’s a trade off where I heavily prefer the circuit personally

[@justinbeck4197]

Perfect for boring tech-house...but still looks cool and yes I still daydream about having one.

[@charles-andrerichard491]

Why would you put music in the background ?

[@lindak.121]

je crois qu'il n'y a que les concepteurs qui maitrisent cette machine lol

[@mewmew32]

Not a very useful tutorial when the picture's so washed out we can't see which keys are lit...

[@gromotion933]

Das übelste in der Richtung war bisher Drunken Masters... Mucke im Tiktok style... 20 Sekunden angespielt und dann der nächste Track... ekelhaft...abtauchen im Beat ausgeschlossen... Mit harten Sound hingegen kann ich gut mit leben.

[@johnfrancisdennis4414]

you almost unsold me on this. why everything you were playing sounded like I was on a fashion run way on the movie Zoolander. make better beats if you are going to educate people.

[@akt67]

How many times can you say "SO".....

[@front2427]

[@dreamyrhodes]

Honestly the surface of the circuit is a piece of shit. The workflow is awful and I had to fucking look up VIDEOS to find how to DELETE a note. I am using analog gear for 10 years now but something as stupid as this just makes me angry.

[@timnewton9042]

You must be kidding! Why don't you just explain how the damn thing works!

[@lo-filogic]

? thats what he does

[@lechlerguttersllc9553]

Mine just bricked. It was great until it stopped working Do not recommend
