Novation Circuit controlling a Drum rack in Ableton - CALC-

"A little experiment using the internal sequencer from Circuit to control a drum rack in Ableton Live. Live Lite is in the box and the samples used are from the Novation Loopmasters sample pack. Circuit is connected to Ableton via USB.
In this test Ableton is only acting as an additional sound source for Circuit's sequencer.

Set the Drum rack channel to receive on Channel 10 (drum sequencer Channel on Circuit) and place your samples on to notes C3,D3, E3 and F3 to match Drums 1 through to 4. I also mapped some of the controls in the Drum rack's Simpler instrument.

With mapping Circuit can also be an excellent addition to an Ableton Live set-up and can also make full use of it's fine sequencer and scales modes.

To balance between the volumes in Ableton and Circuit just use Circuit's Mixer.

This was a first experiment... musically I don't think it's fantastic but it proves the concept. As always it's much better to listen to on a set of headphones or monitors rather than a laptop or phone speaker.
