- Circuit Tracks Parameter Locks!
Today we're looking at the Circuit Tracks and how it handles parameter locks! Please note that this video addresses step-based parameter locks as they pertain to the drum (sample) tracks, not the synth tracks. If anyone knows how to parameter lock the synth tracks, please let me know! While simple in actuality, those coming from an Elektron style sequencer might find themselves very confused when trying to implement parameter locks on the Circuit Tracks. I decided to cover them in a dedicated video, rather than a "Top 5 Tips" presentation, in an effort to better get the proper information circulating. Enjoy the video :)

Thank You very much, very helpfull .... Have a nice day ...
p.s: You can also record macro knob-twiddling without any note data. Press REC then PLAY then turn the knobs how you want for that pattern. Then press PLAY and play some actual notes and you should find that your playing is modified by your prerecorded knob-twiddling. you can then press REC and play in your desired pattern.
That's a great tip, thanks!
Nice thanks
You are wrong. Of course you can "parameter lock" stuff on the synths. You can record knob movements while recording in realtime. You can also do parameter locks in the following way... 1) go to either the VELOCITY or GATE pages*. 2) press REC but don't press PLAY. 3) While on the GATE/VELOCITY page, pick the step you want to parameter lock by holding it down. 4) Turn your chosen macro knob to get your desired parameter change. 5) Hold down the following sequenced step in your pattern and either turn the same macro knob to your desired level OR hold down CLEAR while turning that macro knob to ensure there is no automation on that step. 6) Press PLAY. Done. *You can probably also do parameter locks on the NOTE page but I prefer using the VELOCITY and GATE pages to tweak automation on a step-by-step basis because touching the step-sequencer on the NOTE page risks adding unwanted notes to a step. Hope that helps?
Awesome, I figured there was a way, but I just couldn't find it! Thank you :)
That what I do mainly
You can record movements for a whole track but NOT per pattern, but you CAN param lock steps in a pattern? It makes no sense. Why does it work this way? Just let me record automation per pattern or per step. Copy a pattern if you want the same automation on the next pattern....
@@ChaswellQuint Re-read my original comment. You can record purely automation/parameter locks then copy that pattern so that multiple pattertns have exactly the same automation on them.
@@dinogoldie9716 I can already do that, by just doing it on the track. I don't want to param lock individual steps, it's super tedious. I want to be able to automate per pattern, so that I build a pattern apply automation live, go to next pattern and start fresh. Maybe our use cases are different. you have to lock steps or the track, not the pattern.... Unless I'm really missing something here. lol
Been waiting for you to make this vid 👍
Good tutorial, thanks!
I think it would be good if the CT would 'audition' the note in record mode as you tweak the macro parameters so that you can hear the changes. So as you press the step pad, the note triggered just plays back at a sensible rate so that you can then tweak the macros to your taste.
Hit the velocity button. Then you can press record and audition the sound the for that step while you move the knob.
I had only used Caustic 3 and a Korg Volca Sample . I found the Volca to difficult to get what I wanted. The tracks in comparison is a breeze. I think in the future I will get a separate drum machine and sequencer. I think the fact there’s no display and I can’t find or understand the instructions. There must be an easier or more controllable way of making drums and sequencing. Thanks again for your channel.
I'd presume then that the Rhythm works in the same way and if so thanks for this tip!
hi guys, seems i found a spot to aks you other circuiteers which FX units you add. Have a couple of guitar pedals here, not content yet... maybe kaosspad, its also getting really old now too, newer alternatives?
Hi! I got the mini Kaos pad 2S and works great with it, specially for punch in fx like the Rhythm or the SP404, the sample looper comes very handy to transition between patterns too. The only issue is the mini jack output
Depends. The Circuit Rhythm has effects that can be applied to the entire audio chain and they are customizable and fun to use. Similar workflow to the tracks. There are some dedicated DJ units by pioneer and korg. It's the beat chopping and builds releases stuff that is tough to come by. Some controllers will do this kind of stuff too, Keystep pro.
I have my SP404mkii at the end of my chain. That does the trick for me. For non-master fx though I find it’s better to bake those into the samples themselves and load them onto either the drum track or a circuit rythmn.
I definitely wish you could Parameter A step on this device like I can on my electron devices or play multiple notes at once like my sp 404
I am confused I can do parameter locks on the synths on my OG Circuit. I can choose a synth track while the sequencer is not running then choose a step with record on and change parameters per step the same way. Some of the parameter knobs on certain patches don’t do much. Choose a parameter where you can hear the difference and put down some notes with the same pitch so it’s easy to hear the parameter change. You can’t do patch flipping on the old circuit but you can flip samples. The Circuit Mono Station can do patch flipping just to add to the confusion. It could be the old circuit does and new one doesn’t do what I’m talking about.
Yeah, I finally figured it out, it was way more complicated than I was expecting, but it works pretty well!
You can of course record the synth parameter changes live just buy hitting record while the sequencer is playing and turning knobs but I do it per step where it makes more sense.
HI !!!To lock an instrument, switch to record mode
then record the notes step by step which will turn pink then hold the pad of the track and define the automation of each step always in recording mode
this is the real method
Thanks!
