My Circuit Tracks didn’t include drum sounds! If this happens to you, use the novation firmware updater, then reload the factory sounds 😰 then come back to Gabe
I must confess, the tracks is excellent. The ability to sequence, add fx and mix two additional hardware synths all in one go has changed my desk entirely for the better.
I received mine today. I watched this video after reading the manual and I think you went over almost everything in a very simple, visual and synthetic way. Thanks a lot, it was really helpful.
Thank you. Not only was this a great introduction to the Tracks it is also the best video I have seen that simply demonstrated the use and power of a standalone groovebox.
Gabe, this is the best tutorial on how to use the Circuit Tracks. I'm a complete newbie to this type of device and you have got me hooked on it. Well done!
You just saved me £45 as I was about to buy a MIDI Thru Box. I didn't realise the Tracks' MIDI Thru could be switched to be a MIDI Out. (I have two synths that lack MIDI Thru). What a wonderful device the Circuit Tracks is. I'm finding your videos very helpful in learning how to use it.
Yes same! I have a TR6S and Im selling that to buy the tracks, so I dont have to buy a midi box to control my Microfreak and Volca FM. This thing is perfect!
Awesome! I got my Tracks last Tuesday. Absolutely loving it. Still a lot to learn, but it’s so much fun. Wouldn’t have got it without your inspirational videos, so thanks for that. And, I’m away to buy your pack now. 👏
It’s also worth noting that with one of the recent firmware updates, you can configure the microfreak’s midi out as a midi through. I run my circuit -> Microfreak -> Subharmonicon
Great tutorial! A note on your camera, though: it keeps trying to refocus, and your lens has some lens breathing, which is distracting. Especially for shots like this, where everything stays in one place, you might want to focus at the beginning and then switch to manual focus so it doesn't keep trying to focus (or focus on your hand and back on the synth, etc.).
Thanks for the tutorial. I just purchased the tracks and have no experience with groove boxes at all. I am a guitar player trying break out and experiment with EDM and guitar.. Day one of owning this unit I almost returned it out of intimidation and frustration. I am not a Manuel reader, this video was very clear and helped my get going. I absolutely love the circuit tracks now on day 2 of using it and I have some killer songs ideas. Keep up your informative videos Man. Good stuff. Next learning steps for me is using the circuit tracks to control my jdxi. Not sure what I am doing wrong but may assumption is there must be settings on the jdxi to use it as a slave.. 🤔
I'm using this for busking in the NYC subway as a one-man electro band. I play mostly guitar actually, but w/synth pedals & a lot of two-handed tapping trickery, & then sing on top of it. Think Milosh or Apparat. The control I have was unaffordable just 5 years ago, & I do all this w/portable power & 2 Cube EX's. I use the JOYO Powersupply 5 for peripherals & one for back-up in case I wanna play an hr or two past the battery life of the Circuit.
Very cool tutorial, I learnt a few things too. One thing I've been doing is laying my samples out into 2 row drum racks it's a lot easier now we have the sequencer and patches on the same screen. So BD, SD, CP, CH, OH, CY percs then repeat with the next kit, took a few hours to do but it feels worth it.
It was way too fast for me too. Then I messed around on the machine for a few days to learn as much as I could on my own, then I came back and his explanations were filling in gaps instead of teaching me every little thing. Much easier to follow. Also changing playback to a slower speed and pausing as needed….
I’ve only ever used an 808 before but this video does a really good job of showing off all the Circuit’s capabilities and I’m so frickin hyped for it! Time to go spend several hundred dollars on a beep boop box
Great tutorial, also the instrument is so cool, I switched from the original Circuits and I am very happy with the tracks. The sd card alone worth the upgrade. Also there are a bunch of improvements. (And several downgrades as well yes like chaining limitation or the removal of the speaker but in a direct comparison the new device is much better. Also the new midi tracks are another killer feature. Adding BassStation2 or PocketOperators to the set and control them from the Circuit… yumm yumm. It really is a game changer.
I don't have one of these, but was curious and this video goes a long way towards me actually understanding how they work and just how much can be accomplished with it. I bought a handpan a while back, so I'm not gonna be investing in new music stuff for a while, but I'll probably come back and buy one eventually.
you can change the midi in on the volca keys by powering it down, holding function button while powering it up, choose the channel you want and press rec on the volca keys
I ordered this one the other night, and a bunch of sd-cards, adapter.. etc.. Im hoping Ill get Circuit this week at least.. music production used to be therapy for my mind, Im trying to get back into it.. your videos helped my research towards the best compromise of a machine for me! awsm dood!
very much needed video, thanks for that! i must say youre hands down the quickest and most easy going guy to explore this wonderful machine keep it up!!
When you get the cc's down it would be interesting to see what you can do with the volca. On the volca keys you can control everything but the resonance with cc values. So theoretically if you recorded your movements with the circuit you would be able to save volca presets per project, or even per pattern using the Circuit tracks.
This is great! I already created a short project that's close to the example project here, and it's more than I though I'd learn in one night. Thanks, Gabe!
Just a little help for you Volca users out there. Except for the Volca Sample and Modular, to change the MIDI channel, turn the unit OFF. Hold down the MEMORY key and power the unit ON. The keypad can then be used to select the MIDI channel (1-16). Hit RECORD to save. The Sample however uses a different MIDI channel for each voice, 1-10 (which pisses me off) and is fixed. The Volca Sample is my second to last favorite Volca. The Volca Modular is the worst because it has no real quantization and no MIDI in port at all.
Holy crap! Thank you for showing me how to get the Volca Keys working on the circuit. I've been beating my head against a wall for over 2 hours. Switching the channel to 1 worked perfectly. Question: If I add a Volca Bass, what channel would I use if 1 is taken?
@@GabeMillerMusic Oh, your channel has helped me a ton already. I have plans lined up to get a cool lower cost set up going. My only hurdle is figuring out a way to set it all up so that it will work ergonomically. I am confined to one small folding table since I am in an apartment. So, I need to find a way to get things situated so I can use it all at once. I am running everything out to an old Peavey PV8 mixer.
I wish you could forcibly assign tone differences with samples instead of having to live record them as envelopes. Also, not sure if this has been covered but I love hitting note expand while on a sample track so you can see all four sample tracks on a pad and you can work out your whole beat in a practce/ live environment.
TIP: If you're using a Volca Keys as an external MIDI device, make sure you turn off the clock synchronization, otherwise it's sequencer is going to start when you press play on the Circuit Tracks. :)
@@GabeMillerMusic oh ok cool I thought about getting the og circuit recently but I’m glad I waited and got the tracks, I got your sample pack for it also and Payton Carter’s. I’ve been messing around with them, very cool sounds bro thanks👌.
Gabe, thanks again always giving a solid player point review. I would say now that I have a tracks, it's a miss having the drums totally separate and having single channels split for 32 per section makes editing each bar added pain to use. something about the OG simplicity made it fun easy to lay it down quick. Maybe it needs to grow on me, and these slight complexities are worth bells and whistles. The added pack storage so far is the one. I use to lay down the idea for my daw
Great overview. Could you please do one on creating samples/patches in projects on Novation components site. Would also like to know how to use loopops template for pitching samples. Cheers.
I received mine today too , but went a different route and bashed my own face in with it. Very cool, i have like 3 teeth now and zero confidence. I can now cover kid rock songs flawlessly, i love this thing.
Any track can be used as a midi out track. You’d just need to turn the volume down on whatever track your using. It’s the same in the circuit rhythm. No reason they couldn’t put 2 more synth or drum slots in instead of making them useless when you don’t have an external synth with you.
Hi Gabe. I am new to this topic. I'm actually a professional drummer. I purchased the device a week ago and I'm getting a little confused with the functions. I would appreciate it if you could send me a link to a forum in the field where I can ask questions and get an answer. I see your videos, you are a professional. I have a few questions and would appreciate it if you could help me. Thank you so much bro.
Thanks for your Novation Circuit Tracks videos, very inspiring. I also buy this groovebox but at the moment there is only an unboxing of it at my YT-channel. But in a few days I load up videos with new music.
I’m thinking of getting one but it’s nowhere near as pretty as the first version with its beautiful brightly coloured buttons. This thing looks like a prototype!!!! Ugh!! The audio ins and doubling the size of the patterns makes it a much more viable track making device for me though 🤩
Gabe...I typically enjoy your presentations, but for whatever reason on this one you were doing it at warp speed...I adjusted to .75 (still a little brisk)...and .50 was too slow. Aborted at 5:00 will revisit I assure you
Re Scenes: Can you store mixer state as part of a scene? That's to say, can you store a Scene that has certain Mixer tracks muted? Judging by the demo projects which leave at least one pattern slot per track empty to accomplish this effect, I'm guessing not. But it would certainly be a great feature for a firmware update. So if the good people at Novation are reading this, please add mixer/FX state to Scenes. Thanks. In the mean time, thanks for this brilliantly explained video Gabe.
At the moment, you can't store the mixer state, unfortunately. It I want a large number of mutes/unmutes to happen at once along with pattern changes, I still just do a save as and do session switching.
Keyboard functionality needs updating: I hope Novation updates the MIDI so that one does not need a MIDI merger to use a keyboard (properly) with external synth tracks. As it works now, you cant use a keyboard without compromising a midi out (having to switch to midi thru) and even then, the pad functionality with external synths no longer works. Check out Roland mc707 "auto channel" function" to see how they handle a keyboard into their groovebox.
I really don’t under stand I just got my circuit and I have OP1 and USB host for OP1 I plugged midi “in” on circuit And midi ” out “ on OP1 How can I change synth1 to midi 1 or 2? Op1 sound comes from Synth 1 Want to play op1 on midi channel Not on synth channel I’m super beginner
@@GabeMillerMusic there is 1 thing that disappoints me when making a new scene. I would've liked the duplicated scene to be exactly the same as the previous, and any changes made to the 2nd not effect the 1st. I'll learn to work with it eventually because I think it will be a great addition to me live setup.
Totally. And keep in mind that scenes are nothing more than collections of patterns, so different scenes can be completely different collections of patterns, but if you change the patterns themselves, they'll change everywhere in that project. Hence why I like using projects switching for more major changes.
The dawless approach looks liberating. Is there a limit to the style of music one can make with the circuit? Is it just for dance music? Could one do ambient, cinematic, experimental dronie sci-fi, lo-fi triphop?
You could definitely do all of these if it's electronic in nature. I tend to default to dance music but that's just me. I definitely want to try some more cyberpunk soundtrack stuff.
My circuit tracks didn't include a manual. Thankfully this guy exists
The manual PDF is online.
Well written.
Yeah, none of them do, the first time you plug in to a PC, it directs you to the tutorials & manual.
It would've been nice to have a solid manual but I reckon digital is a good eco friendly (and money saving) move 😊
My Circuit Tracks didn’t include drum sounds! If this happens to you, use the novation firmware updater, then reload the factory sounds 😰 then come back to Gabe
Yep, printed it, and my printer has issues w duplex, but I need the hard copy in front of me, so- now I have a book. 109 pages!
As a complete and utter beginner, this is exactly what I needed!
my 5 year old son and I have been having so much fun exploring our new circuit tracks. thanks so much for your helpful vids!

I keep coming back to this. I think I've got about 80% by now so a few more return visits before I move on. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip on the Midi thru settings! It was driving me crazy as I couldn't get my 2nd synth to play notes. Appreciate your help!
Changing scales live could make a very interesting effect, nice!
would love a slower more in depth walkthrough for beginners
yes way to fast i get the impression Gabe is paying 10 dollars the minute to you tube for talking.
