Novation Circuit with Thavius Beck

Shop exclusive Novation synthesizer bundles at Kraft Music: www.kraftmusic...
Novation Brand Ambassador Thavius Beck gives us a thorough overview of the Novation Circuit grid-based groovebox, and while it may not be apparent in this final edited version, it's worth pointing out that he did it almost entirely in one take! What a pro.
Novation Circuit combines two polyphonic synth engines, a four-part drum machine, and an intuitive grid-based sequencer. A completely standalone groovebox, Circuit features battery power and a built-in speaker. It's also at home alongside other hardware synthesizers or synced with a DAW via USB or MIDI.
Create complete tracks in real time or by step sequencing with Circuit's velocity-sensitive pads. Add effects and tweak your sounds on the fly-Circuit is designed to inspire.

This mans review of this box is a genuine pleasure to watch. He has a calm clear and relaxing to watch way of explaining everything I imaging hes an amazing teacher.

The Circuit's manual should just contain a single page with this video's URL printed on it.

[@chud8you629]

Thanks Thavius Beck, learned more from this than all other instructional vids!

[@ifxman]

I believe I watched every video on KZbin about the Circuit. A good 50 videos at least..shutup haha This tutorial by far answered so many of my questions and if this was something I could or wanted to implement into my system and style of playing. I won't be using it in a DAW but I will use it with other midi modules and synths thru a midi patchbay with a controller keyboard. So yea, just ordered me one this evening, Thanks KraftMusic and thank you Thavius for this amazing detailed review! Peace Out ...

This is the best tutorial on the circuit. I want to take another stab at it soon hopefully tomorrow. I’m 41 years old and maybe I can finally get launched into outer space.

[@oceansky8923]

that bass in his voice damn!

[@nanotedot]

The most comprehensive tutorial I've seen so far. At last I understood how this beauty works without ever trying it. Thanks Mr Beck!!

[@JasonHader]

Saved this video for reference once I get my Circuit. I can't wait.

[@patrickhall7884]

That other YT jam that you did is DOPE! I've watched that video over and over. Serious skills there

[@iShrekedJoeMama]

definitely the best review on the web

[@roberti6433]

Thank you for this very good review. Mine arrived just an hour ago:-) Very informative review and one of the best yet as far as workflow and device settings. This Novation Circuit is very intuitive and provokes creativity. Just slide the pizzas under my door and I will be out in Spring!

[@johnchesters81]

hi Robert how would I record my ideas and sounds from the circuit to my daw? do I need an audio interface?

[@redsurge7857]

I think the circuit sends midi through the USB cable to a daw.

[@cachepilll286]

Mo kumar it does

[@chewkieroo123]

dude!! this is amazing I play a lot of guitar but looking to move my stuff to a different level and I think this will do it the only thing that would make this better is if I could add my electric guitar into the mix

[@mikenagol69]

Excellent instructor. Love this GrooveBox, ready for Novations pro version.

[@timrichter5853]

+mikenagol69 fingers crossed for a sampler version at this same cost!

[@infinite9127]

+Tim Richter yes! I would buy a sampler version.

[@tomfurstyfield]

[@noodlingaround2023]

You Sir, are a true pro. Excellent tutorial. I learnt loads. Many thanks.

[@NorskGamer1]

Nice work man

[@eugenestoner]

Thavius is the man !!!!!!!!!!!

[@gordyf77]

Really informative, thank you.

[@ruxiwang9571]

I've never enjoyed a tutorial this much.

[@JediMartinez]

Very nice presentation bro :) very nice skills and taste in music , awesome, thumbs up !

[@danieldemayo6209]

Novation goodies!!

[@hammercanttouchthis]

I'm the owner of two Novation products that died very shortly around (or before) the time the warranty ended which was 3 months for the Launchkey. My Launchpad started to go haywire after about 6-9months but wasn't in the Country to claim the warranty. Both products weren't used that much. I really want to buy the circuit - it's a sweet groove box but my concern is the production quality? Are the plastic shells for these products still made by the same Co. ? Great demo BTW, I'm pretty much sold on this for pure stand alone functionality and the price is right 👌

[@martinlubitz3171]

Thanks a lot for the excellent video, like your voice!

[@LegPuppy]

great review! Best one yet. Good piece of kit

[@jaquesdupont14]

Very nice... Thank you Thavius! Btw, i bought mine today...😎

[@beesmith5379]

Hey Thavius, I believe you just sold me on the Novation Circuit. I was on the fence but not anymore. Add the Native Instruments MASCHINE micro and we are on fire.

[@Matthewess_]

Love it! Need it!

[@djdeep6554]

I really love this would this, work Novation Circuit with Allen & health xone 23c or the 43c?

[@christopheharoun]

Great review man

[@Hitnrun69ify]

Thanks Thavius, been looking for a stand alone and so far this seem to be the one. I'm looking to connect a Novation lunchkey 25 and also was thinking of getting the Novation hub as well and possibly using my iPad. c and this be done? also what cables will I be needing for such setup? any help will be much appreciated.

[@kriacaoverbal]

DOPE!

[@JOHNG_TV]

Fire outro!!!

[@foundmonster]

can tempo be changed for each of the different instruments, or is the tempo universal?

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Question, can you also control the synth of the circuit by putting the launchpad in Midi mode and playing on there? Or using the Midi drum mode to send some drums to the circuit? Also does the circuit support polyponic aftertpuch? Last but not least can you also connect the circuit to Ableton using USB?

[@d1rtyduckmusic]

Is it possible to change the midi channel on which the different parts send out midi? (and if yes can this be done on the unit or do you need the editor for this?). And is it possible to change the cc's which the knobs are sending?

[@AndyTanguay]

Dirty Music I bet you've figured this out already, but if not...you can't change those channels without an external MIDI box. They're hardwired to 1,2, and 10
