The Circuit Tracks has SIXTY FOUR sample slots per pack/machine state. It has 128 synth patches. You can, using an SD micro card, store and load 32 packs or machine states (so that's 32 X 128 patches, 64 samples and 64 projects).
Still it has only 3 minutes sample time which makes all these big numbers irrelevant since you can't disc stream from the card. Such a bummer that no developer thinks this could be cool.
8 Benefits of the Circuit Tracks/reasons to upgrade from OG circuit: 1) the 2 MIDI tracks turn this into a OG on steroids Circuit + a polyphonic beatstep Pro. 2) The audio inputs combined with the two MIDI sequencer tracks turn this into a very affordable standalone hardware sequencer/mixer/brain for two additional synths. 3) twice as many synth patches and the ability to swap out packs. 4) Everything is a key tap (or two) away. Now that all the OG Circuit's firmware feature updates have been incorporated into this new unit, everything is one button away (e.g. microsteps, sidechain compression etc). 5) Ability to change MIDI settings on the fly (previously you had to powerup in setup mode and then restart the machine). 6) Per-pattern settings (clock sync, playback order and start/end point settings). 7) Better build and form factor and connectivity than the OG C. 8) Scenes (ability to store and access non sequential combinations of patterns with a single button).
Its one of them machines to play on for hours and get lost with,and never make those tracks again because you didn't knoW what you did!!! lol speciAl memories are made with these kind of things!!
you can save your projects and scenes perform them later! Even chain different projects together on the fly so you could actually perform a set on one of these.
I don’t know or understand something, but tell me, have you heard a good 6-track electronic track? Why there are only 6 tracks on this device, this is kick drum, snare drum, hat, bass, synthesizer, synthesizer 2. I would like to add more percussion, vocal chops and possibly other sounds
Actually, on the drum tracks, you can use any of the drums in combination. So you can put your kick drum, snare, hat, vocal chops, percussion, and other samples on one track. Having four tracks is probably more useful for having different reverb, delay, or mixer level on the tracks. Or you could just use the additional three tracks as an extension of the eight patterns you get for the drum tracks.
The Verselab is no way comparable. I don't really understand why everybody compares it to this. The Verselab is composition tool. You cannot play live with it, or you'll have really a hard time and have a lot of work to sort things out to do an acceptable performance. The Circuit on the other hand is a great tool for live performance, composition not so much. I am selling the Verselab because many videos and comments got me in the wrong direction, thinking I could also jam on it. No way, or you'll spend hours to prepare the jam, which makes no sense
@@rodolphep0nthus555 If you mean grid for clip switching, verselab does not have it (For Roland this will be 707), but has a straightforward song mode instead. As you mentioned as a composition tool, but not only that. Verselab shortcuts switching between note/section selection, mute with mixer+track, quick copy section pressing copy+section which makes a full copy and while playing a new copy, no interruption, is just another way jamming. Another use paradigm but as handy, as you could start with "master" section and keep going making song bits a pieces on a go, landing with a whole song structure in one shot (no need to press record on you grid performance to have a snapshot of your inspiration). This a way I approach it. So you don't have to prep different clips upfront to switch between them while jammin. Though yes, no perfect device for everyone, and not trying to convince you of anything. I have my complains to verselab, but at least found somewhat working to jam, while keeping snapshot of performance as a track right there. No other device offers that simplicity so far, maybe OP-Z, but that's another story :)
Great walkthrough, but I find two synth tracks to be *extremely* limiting. Minimally I'd like bass, a pad, an arp and a lead to play simultaneously. If the midi tracks could double as Synth tracks for those who aren't interested in connecting external hardware, this would have been the perfect groovebox.

Don’t forget the new synth engine.
@@1dkappe it's the same synth engine🤔
@@cokecl yes, I know. :-)
I love this channel. Everything is new. Awesome music. Great sounds and performance. I play keyboards also on my channel
The intro was everything I needed to know ❤️
Just bought one and saw a lot of intro videos but you video, again, rocks! I summarizes everything very wel! Superb!
As a Synthstrom Deluge user, I don't need this, but it looks like a great product and ton of fun nonetheless! A+ presentation as always Jack.
Love it Jack! "Knob Twiddlers" shall now become part of my everyday music speak...
Great video! I was scared of buying the stuff because it looked scary at first but you did an extremely good job at explaining it :D
Omg I love Jack so much 🥰. Gorgeous, charismatic, articulate, talented, playful, humble chap
You tore that up, frikin kickass!!! Left me wanting to hear more.
this is he best demo i have seen and the first where i followed completely.
Jack with another legendary demo. Love your work Sir !

Great Introductory video of this awesome device! Great Job!
That intro!! Great 👌
Had to thumbs up for the love in the intro!
Jack on a circuit.......yessssss!
Well, I thought that was a decent format for a video. I’m eager to see what sort of updates Tracks gets.
Nice job !
Missed opportunity. In that opening dance scene coulda spliced a little footage of Jack skipping down the street. Okaaay. Next time.
I just love you, man.
Best jam
Circuit Tracks, Roland MC-101 or Elektron Model:Samples what the best for house/techno/minimal music?
Pretty sure it has 64 samples instead of 128 but still a great Groovebox for sure, well done ;)
How do you record the tracks you created and export them.
I don’t know or understand something, but tell me, have you heard a good 6-track electronic track? Why there are only 6 tracks on this device, this is kick drum, snare drum, hat, bass, synthesizer, synthesizer 2. I would like to add more percussion, vocal chops and possibly other sounds
Try Roland verselab mv1

With stereo & overlapping samples on the drums trucks I would get it for the size and looks. Otherwise - VerseLab.

Just add a behringer synth of choice, at this price it’s a no brainer x
@@thelibrarian3734 Try to use that on the go in a pinch.
Yes! 🤖🎧😃🎵🎶
I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're running out of time
I see Novation has taken some ideas from Electron.. good because more gear needs to have parameter locks...
How’d they make the waveform animation??
SO COOL, right?! I would guess they’re using after effects plugin... Or any other professional video software.
@The Art of Subtlety Do you remember the name?
“That’s the dream” playing with knobs 🤔😅
3:27 Not a sampleR track.....a sample track....there is NO sampler in this box.
It needs 2 more synth tracks
You do get 2 MIDI tracks alongside 2 synth tracks. Ain't that enough?
Yeah, I hope they can make it more "standalone" by doing that
I bought the Roland GO 88, because you said it "was a bit chody" I love you bro, but your a snob, mate
that intro sold me instantaneously, wiiild
