Novation Circuit - Groovebox

Start witha beat Make Circuit yoursequencer, synth and sampler.Integrate with your favourite hardware, and develop and perform your productions - switching between drums, basslines and chords. Letthe beat build A beat is just the beginning of your journey, but the possibilities are endless. Make a drum workflow entirely on Circuit, featuring a four-on-the-floor kick that calls for a sampled snare and hi-hat. The Sample Flip function makes it possible for you to create multisample drum lines on each of Circuit's four drum tracks. Then Drum Micro Steps add instant fills and stutter effects to your beats. J Dilla fans should probably board here. Addthebassline Pick a Nova synth patch that’s doing nearly what you want and use the macro knobs to edit. Select the scale. Play a bassline – notes can be added, edited and deleted. Make your production more fluid Add steps and automation, and edit each step, giving the beat more feel and groove. Build on the drum samples using Components software. Remove or bring back tracks and automation, and get a mixed output by balancing sounds and panning them in the stereo field. Choose delay and reverb, slew between the presets and apply them to parts, or kill the effects. Go crazy with effects and use the filter to create a dynamic edge and tension. Add another synth Audition and change an additional synth sound. Use the second six-voice polyphonic synth engine to create a chord pattern, choose an octave, and duplicate a chord to different positions in the sequence. Change the gate length, and put really short notes and musical expression into your sequences using Fractional Gate. Then apply a side-chain to get the synth pumping. Arrange the production Add structure to your music by making and changing a chain of eight patterns, mixing up the chords, notes and octave to give variation. Save your creation as one of 32 sessions, and change session to get some fantastic performance arrangements. Connect with devices Create audio landscapes by integrating MIDI-compatible outboard processors, synchronising with other drum machines or grooveboxes, or triggering synths. Sync Circuits by using mini-jack cables to easily daisy–chain them together, or add a Circuit Mono Station to open up a world of analogue filtration and distortion.
