Who is 'Inspector Norse'? (Circuit Tracks Remake)

video upload by Guinan

"I love the classic 70’s electronic disco/hi-energy vibes to this 2012 track from Norwegian DJ and producer Todd Terje. I thought it could sound great on the Tracks. I think it turned out well but let me know if you think it could be improved. I’ll put a link in the comments below to download the pack, so show me your remixes….

I’ve read that ‘king of Norwegian disco’ Terje Olsen (and it’s pronounced TAR-YEH i think*) produced this just using an ARP-2600 for all the sounds. I thought I’d set myself the challenge to only use the Tracks for this one so everything, including the drums and sound effects, had to be produced by the Tracks and playable on just this box.

Why? I like a challenge!

Everything you hear therefore was programmed, sampled and ported back to the tracks and then sequenced to be played live and recorded direct.

If you are wondering who Inspector Norse is, watch till the end of the video, (obviously partly a pun on UK TV detective 'Inspector Morse') but this excellent video might give you some further clues as to his identity..."

Official Github,

via Redit:

"NEW UPDATE: Beta1 is finishing internal testing and will be released soon. You can update with the upload tool. Thanks everybody for their input. I tried to include most of your requests (and some of my own) when it was possible, some of them I did my own take, trying to satisfy similar goals into a single approach. Now we have a couple new effects, you can save synth engine's patches, customize your macro Knobs from the device, pattern link, scene repeat, copy and re-arrange stuff inside or between packs... Check GitHub for a full list. All stock functions remain the same. Message me, submit a request on the GitHub or reply to this thread for fixes, new features or clarifications. A demo will maybe come, after a rest. If anyone wants to share theirs, be my guest."

Perfect Partners: How to hook up your M-Vave FM-1 to Circuit Tracks

video upload by Guinan

You can find part 2 further below.

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon. See dealers on the right for Circuit Tracks.

"I bought an M-VAVE FM-1 to add to my Circuit Tracks.

I love Yamaha DX sounds (checkout my previous MiniDEXED build and songs to see how much) and I think they work well with the Circuit Tracks. Building an equivalent MiniDEXED (like this one) now has ballooned to over $100USD* so at around $60 or so this is a much cheaper and interesting option.

Better screen
Bluetooth MIDI
Rubber keyboard
Easier interface
NO DIY

The numerous daily new firmwares adding new features and the very tempting price on the FM-1 was too much to resist so - here we are.

Novation Circuit Tracks - Ostinato of the Year

video upload by Synthesaurus Rex

"I was going to call this 'arpeggio of the year' but then I thought that this technically might not be an arpeggio, but an ostinato. An arpeggio is a broken chord where individual notes are played sequentially to outline a specific harmony. In contrast, an ostinato is a stubborn, repeating musical or rhythmic pattern that serves as a continuous foundation throughout a piece. A mainstream music consumer would call it 'boring', and might be wondering why anyone would record such a boring thing. Well, I do it for "idea preservation": I liked this little loop of notes well enough to do a recording with it, so I won't forget it, to use it in a real song some day, when it fits. I called it "of the year" because I will most likely not find a catchier loop than this in 2026."

undo machine live demo v2

video upload by aural explorations

"Undo Machine is out: https://undomachine.com

I built a small macOS app to solve something that had been bugging me for a while: capturing my current sound, freely changing it, then returning to where I started.

I’ve come to love that kind of workflow on the Torso S-4 and T-1. It’s useful for sound design and live performance, so I wanted to bring it to my Analog Four and Novation Peak.

This video shows Capture, Undo, Return and Morph in action. Undo Machine currently supports Novation Peak, Analog Four MKII, Bitwig Studio and Ableton Live and can be controlled by any Midi capable device.

Want this for your instrument too? Download Undo Machine and run the guided device test. Your results can help me investigate whether support is possible.

Available for macOS on Apple Silicon, with a 14-day trial."

"What does it do?

Imagine you could freeze the state of your entire hardware or hybrid setup while performing, creating or producing—then explore, mutate, distort and intensify your sound, knowing you can always return to your baseline at the push of a button or smoothly morph back with a fader.
That’s Undo Machine."
