Novation Circuit, Leploop, Octatrack - Tales of the Unexpected show (complete with cock-ups!)

Published on May 9, 2016 -CALC-

"Here's a practice set for a gig I recently did.

It was my first big show with the Novation Circuit as the main instrument and I loved it's ease of use.
It's a long vid clocking in at 40 minutes but it is quite musically varied.

There are a couple of reasonably big cock-ups in this run through... but thats why we practice right!
There are also a couple of moments when I was pushing the levels a bit too much. I'm a big fan of distortion so I personally quite like it but apologies if that affects your listening enjoyment. This was for a live show not a studio album after all!

Thankfully the show went without a hitch

Hope you enjoy it

Gearwise:

Novation Circuit is sequencing itself and the Leploop (a power combo in my opinion)
Strymon Deco is filthing up the Circuit with tape saturation and the odd tape phase sweep.
Red Panda Particle is on occasional granular delay duties

Octatrack is sequencing the Boomstar and Yamaha Reface CP

Launch Control XL is the controller for the Octatrack which is a great way of opening the Elektron up even more.

Octatrack is sending sync to Circuit so they are locked in.

A mixture of Kenton MIDi Merge, USB host to MIDI and the fantastic Hotchki55 MIDI hub 6 way is sending the MIDI all over the place."
