Best tutorial I’ve see available for the Novation Circuit. Straight to the point, click for click, drop dead easy to follow. No rambling or distracting nonsense, strictly learning! I hope this is only the beginning of many Circuit tutorials to come.
This is how a tutorial should be done. People tend to talk to much on you tube,they side track and confuse the viewers and the talk so fast as if you tube is costing them 5 Dollars a second . I am so thankful for this video step by step no bla bla . I hope others take this as a good example of how to teach . ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Gabe I hope you watched this. 5 Star Video.
Thanks. Let me say this in all modesty: I really put quite a lot of effort into concepting my tutorials. I do not just switch on my camera and start bla-bla-ing, like many other tutors do. Also, other than those guys, I actually learned how to teach things to people.
I watched a lot of Circuit tutorial videos but this is best tutorial I’ve seen. You didn’t skip any steps nor assume the viewer knew how to use a synth. I’m 1 year late, but I hope there was a volume 2!
Still the »most bestest« tutorial on the Novation Circuit OG across our entire planet. And definitely a lightning-fast way to get people going! 👍 I only turned towards my freshly acquired venerable Circuit OG right after having watched your video, but I was still able to do most of the stuff you showed. Best proof of your excellent teaching skills by a synth apprentice in his mid-50e. Duplicate-ing and Clear-ing like a boss while juggling with Session-s, Pattern-s and my notes' Velocity-s, Gate-s and the Scale-s. Thank you so much 🤝 Subscribed spontaneously 😊
Thank you so much, Manfred, but you know what the heck, let's talk deutsch. Dein Kommentar ist exakt die Art von Kommentar, die mich ermutigen, mit meinem lächerlichen kleinen TH-cam-Channel weiterzumachen. Mir geht's NULL um Klicks und mir geht's auch (so gut wie gar) nicht um Subscriber auf meiner Patreon-Seite 😊. Ne, ernsthaft: Wenn mir jemand so direkt wie du sagt, dass eins meiner Videos ihm geholfen hat, sein Zeugs ordentlich bedienen zu können um Musik machen zu können, die er gerne machen würde: Mein Tag ist gerettet, mein Auftrag ist erfüllt, ick freu mir nen Wolf! 😄 Da ist mir der eine Dollar, den man mir spenden könnte auf www.patreon.com/synthesaurus fast schon egal! Das meine ich ehrlich, aber ich wollte nur mal drauf hinweisen, dass es www.patreon.com/synthesaurus gibt, jetzt nicht dich im Speziellen, aber alle, die das hier lesen 😉
@@SynthesaurusRex Danke dir, das ist die bisher wohl sensationellste Rückmeldung auf einen Kommentar von mir. Keep creating, weil du machst das voll toll!
This was EXACTLY what I needed to begin to understand this inscrutable box. I'm no music newb, but I am a total NC newb. Volume 2, please! I want to start composing whole songs!
Well, in that case, your wish is my command! In fact, I planned a part 2 for a long time now, but wasn't really sure in which direction to go. So, coming up next (or rather, soon, because I still have other projects in the pipeline), it's "How to do a song on the NC". Until then, please enjoy these two songs I did, that are mainly carried by the NC: The Model by Kraftwek th-cam.com/video/XiuwZDRoOUQ/w-d-xo.html and Duran's The Chauffeur th-cam.com/video/KT9hLh7O188/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the excellent video! I've viewed dozens of Circuit videos but for newbies such as myself (a 70 year old relic) it's a bit overwhelming figuring out the basics of this machine but your video has helped greatly!
Thank you for the upload. This is easily the best tutorial for new commers. I know ive watched them all. Nearly all focus on the abilty of the machine not the user. 5* sir
Thanks, Kristov, but I just don't find the time to do it. I'm still a one-man-show, doing my videos in the scarce free time I have. That's why I set up a Patreon site: the more supporters I have on there, the more free time I'd have to do videos. And no, I'm not e-begging here. Well, actually I am. But that does not change the simple fact that I could spend more time on doing videos, when I could cut my office-hours, IF there were more donations on www.patreon.com/synthesaurus
@@SynthesaurusRex Fair enough :) Honestly, this guide got me further along with my Circuit than hours spent with the instruction book and other videos. So you've already done us a great service!
Thank you! As soon as I find the time, I will continue. See, the thing is: I don't have much time to do this synth stuff because I have to do a dayjob to pay the rent. The more people support me on my Patreon page, the less I have to worry about the rent, and the more tutorials I could do. So feel free to support that on www.patreon.com/synthesaurus
Bloody brilliant mate! Just got my circuit today and this got me up and running. Still can’t quite get my head around the pattern sequencer part but I’ll work it out.
@@SynthesaurusRex I just got one and just had a blast using it. Went from knowing absolute zero about it to having a good time and making some bloody badass beats (bbb’s) thank to you so big thank you 🙏🏼 to you
Thank you for this. I am getting the Circuit Tracks tomorrow and, while this is for the original Circuit, I still feel like it'll be helpful since I am a complete newbie with zero experience. Most of the other channels I've watched with Circuit videos were a bit of information overload, but this is really well laid out.
Thank you, Zag! You did the right thing: getting a Tracks. From what I can see, it's quite similar to the Circuit, so as soon as you understand the general principle of one, you should be having no trouble understanding the other. So, have fun with your Tracks, and stay tuned, because one of my upcoming videos will be about Scales & Modes - explained for absolute beginners! 😀
Just got my circuit today and this helped me so much! I'm brand new to electronic music, always been a guitar player and singer but this made it way less intimidating, thank you.
Thank you very much for your comment, it really means A LOT to me to hear that my stupid videos actually help people. 👍👍👍 Oh, and did I mention I have a patreon, where people can support my little channel? 😉 www.patreon.com/synthesaurus
I think that straight out-of-the-box the Save function is disabled (presumably to stop people from blatting over the factory sessions before they know what they're doing) so the Save button is not lit. To enable the Save functionality simply hold down both the Shift and the Save buttons as you switch your Circuit on. The save button should now be dimly lit in blue :)
@@SynthesaurusRex Thanks for replying. Ive been waiting to have a bit more time with the NC and i now understand the whole video. Its very well explained once you have the NC in your hand. Theres a big element of trial and error with the sounds mind you.

Best intro bid on the net for guitarists ….. have subbed and will be getting a Circuit please keep the lessons coming. Sincere thanks
Thanks, gallp! Remember to download my free Circuit patches in time (they won't be free forever!)

Oh, don't worry, you will. Have fun!
Great Tutorial. Best I found for Beginners
Yes yes yes need more that was the most fun I’ve had sober since I was a kid🎉😊
Jeez, I made that video two years ago. The Circuit isn't even on sale any more. What's the point of continuing that tutorial?
@@SynthesaurusRex I just got one and just had a blast using it. Went from knowing absolute zero about it to having a good time and making some bloody badass beats (bbb’s) thank to you so big thank you 🙏🏼 to you
Superb tutorial. Really like the format you've used. It makes things really easy to follow. Thank you.
Great tutorial, thankyou
"You just have to know how to count"
Drummers: "aight, Imma head out."
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I’m completely new to this groove box. This was really helpful.

Well Done
Thank you!!
Thanks for the tuto, very helpful !
Great demo man!
Nice demo. I always thought these devices were MIDI light show controllers. Now I understand. All that money wasted on piano lessons... sigh.
More please 🙂
Your wish is my command! But help me out here, buddy! What would you like me to talk about next?
Just perfect ..........thanks :)
why is my save button not blue on any coulor at all
I would need more details on that before I could give any reasonable advice. For example: What color is it, if not blue?
brill
Why I can’t save the session? The “save” button has no brightness.
You have to tap the SAVE buttons twice very quickly. It will blink for confirmation.
I think that straight out-of-the-box the Save function is disabled (presumably to stop people from blatting over the factory sessions before they know what they're doing) so the Save button is not lit.
To enable the Save functionality simply hold down both the Shift and the Save buttons as you switch your Circuit on.
The save button should now be dimly lit in blue :)
I WANT MORE !
Well, if Sand Puppy wants more, what choice do I have?😉
@@SynthesaurusRex NONE ! 🏳
Im 5 minutes in, i can count, i can drum... i have no idea what is going on.
Well, hello, my Muddy Brother! May I be of help with your confusion?
@@SynthesaurusRex Thanks for replying. Ive been waiting to have a bit more time with the NC and i now understand the whole video. Its very well explained once you have the NC in your hand. Theres a big element of trial and error with the sounds mind you.
